Chambers Canada

"Vancouver-based Larry Sandrin enjoys a glowing reputation for his real estate work, particularly in the development sphere. As well as advising on major mixed-use and infrastructure projects, he is also well versed in purchases and sales. Clients enthuse: 'Comprehensive, large-scale projects are what he's good at. The more complex it is, the more Larry is engaged.' They continue: 'He's in the top echelon of real estate counsel in Vancouver.'"

Larry's work involving governmental approvals has included agricultural land reserve determinations and releases, official community and development plans, re-zonings, subdivisions and complex development and building permit processes.

Larry has completed many significant commercial transactions of a wide variety of real estate portfolios and investment properties for local, national and offshore investors and public bodies.

He has advised and assisted in many infrastructure projects, including P3s, relating to transportation, civil works, healthcare and education projects.

Larry is a past director of the BC Branch of the Canadian Diabetes Association and a past governor and Vice-Chair of the Collingwood School Society in West Vancouver.
