Reduce Costs, Grow Value

About Us

We know the business, because we’re owners too.

We are more than just a property management company. As commercial property owners, we have learned many lessons over the years. Those lessons have come to shape the way in which we view our industry, and our responsibilities to you, our partners.

Driven every day by integrity and insight.

At Markland, we have a simple company vision – to make property management more honest, efficient, and effective. We aim to reduce costs, avoid business interruption, provide a safe, clean and healthy workplace for your tenants, and grow your property value. We’ve made managing your properties our business, so you can more readily focus on the needs of your business and your day-to-day life.

Downtown Office Buildings

Generations of property management experience.

Our team comes from a long line of property owners and managers. In 1995, Ray Wilson and David H. Blanchard combined their years of property management experience, creating Wilson Blanchard Management. 25 years and a generation later, the need arose to focus on commercial properties and from that, Markland was born. Servicing Southwestern Ontario, we are a new company, but hardly new to the industry. Our pedigree speaks for itself, while our desire is to breathe new life into our business and that of our partners.

Let us take a moment to introduce ourselves.

Our team is made up of a carefully selected group of highly experienced commercial property management professionals. We are one with our partners in mutual success.
