Over the years, PBM Realty has formed some very longstanding relationships with clients and tenants. Peter partly credits that to their depth and responsiveness of their management and maintenance services. “Most of our tenants are long- term,” he says. “We have very little turnover. That’s at least partly because of our service. We always do what we can to make sure their business keeps running and their needs are met.” “Our motto is ‘The tenants come first,’” he adds. “Our goal is to make our tenants happy at all times.” Tenants appreciate that focus, Peter believes. He admits, however, that tenants also have a hard time finding other industrial spaces in Barrie, as there’s an ongoing shortage. Currently, PBM Realty is doing their part to address that issue by adding more. For example, they own a property off Highway 400, on which they intend to build a more than 15,000-square-foot building. They are seeking municipal approval for that project now, and they expect to commence construction this fall.
