We take pride in owning and operating distinctive, well-maintained properties while delivering exceptional service to our tenants and fostering long-term relationships within the communities we serve.

About this Opportunity 

The Senior Tenant Services Specialist is responsible for the day-to-day property management and tenant service functions across ABNA Investments Ltd.’s real estate portfolio. Reporting directly to the Vice President, this position takes ownership of tenant relationships, lease and property administration, rent rolls, operating cost recoveries, property financial matters, service contracts, tenant and building improvement projects, and other day-to-day property management activities.

The role also plays an important part in strengthening ABNA’s property management systems, processes, reporting, and service standards as the portfolio grows. The successful candidate will demonstrate strong commercial judgment, financial and administrative capability, initiative, organization, and relationship-management skills, with the ability to independently manage competing priorities and recognize matters requiring escalation to the Vice President.
