“There are brokers who list properties. And then there is a different category entirely.”
Harjaap Singh Makkar — Industrial Real Estate Broker, Colliers International
The Industrial Broker Built for Complex Deals
There are commercial real estate brokers who list properties. And then there is a different category entirely—brokers who understand the operational, financial, and strategic implications of an industrial real estate decision from the inside out, who have the platform to find what others can’t, and who have the institutional backing to execute at any scale.
Harjaap Singh Makkar is that broker.
Before entering commercial real estate, Harjaap managed logistics and distribution operations for Bell—Canada’s largest telecommunications company. That experience gave him a genuine understanding of what industrial space means to the businesses that occupy it. The clear height, the dock configuration, the power supply, the proximity to the 400-series highway interchange—these aren’t just spec-sheet details to Harjaap. They’re the difference between an operation that runs at full throttle and one that doesn’t.
After Bell, Harjaap turned his attention to one of the most underserved problems in commercial real estate: market transparency. He built Zonado.com from the ground up. While entirely self-funding the company, he grew it into one of Canada’s largest commercial real estate marketplaces, now serving over 150,000 Canadians annually.
Today, Harjaap brings all of it to bear as an industrial broker at Colliers International—Canada’s largest commercial real estate firm and one of the most respected in the world. Within his first year, he was awarded Colliers’ Hustler of the Year—recognition earned transaction by transaction, deal by deal. His current book of business reflects the results: over 500,000 square feet of active industrial listings and more than $250 million in for-sale properties across the Greater Toronto Area.
The Zonado Advantage
An Unfair Advantage. And It’s Yours.
Every broker in the GTA will tell you they have access to the market. Most of them mean they have access to the same MLS feeds as everyone else. Harjaap offers something fundamentally different.
Dual-Platform Reach
Your listing gets exposure through both the full Colliers International marketing machine and the Zonado platform simultaneously — a combination no other broker in Canada can offer. More eyes. More qualified buyers. Better outcomes.
Off-Market Intelligence
As the founder of Zonado.com — one of Canada's largest commercial property marketplaces, serving 150,000 users annually — Harjaap has a direct line into a layer of the market that is invisible to his competitors. Off-market opportunities. Early-stage seller conversations. Deals that never appear on a public database.
Better Outcomes, Period
For tenants and buyers: access to spaces before they're publicly listed. For landlords and vendors: dual-platform marketing reach that dramatically expands the qualified buyer pool from day one. Your listing doesn't just sit on a portal — it's actively promoted to 150,000 commercial real estate participants.
