Brunswick Brokers is pleased to announce that Geoff McCausland (BMus, ARCT, Pro.Dir, REALTOR®) has joined the firm as a Commercial Real Estate Advisor.
A Saint John native, Geoff returns home after serving as General Manager of Mallette-Goring Inc., a boutique commercial real estate brokerage in Sudbury, Ontario. Throughout his career, he has helped businesses, investors, developers, and property owners make informed real estate decisions that support long-term growth and success.
Geoff’s experience spans commercial sales and leasing, development consulting, project management, feasibility analysis, property and business evaluation, and commercial lease review. He has worked with clients to assess opportunities, navigate complex development challenges, and advance projects from concept through execution. His background provides a practical understanding of site selection, development approvals, project viability, and long-term asset value creation.
In addition to his private sector experience, Geoff served full-time on Greater Sudbury City Council from 2018 to 2022. During his term, he helped oversee an organization of approximately 2,000 employees and an annual budget of $824 million. He also served as Treasurer of Greater Sudbury Hydro, sat on the board of Conservation Sudbury, chaired the Community Services Committee, and served as Vice-Chair of the City’s Planning Committee, where he was involved in land-use policy, rezoning applications, and real estate matters.
Throughout his public service career, Geoff championed initiatives designed to modernize residential and commercial parking requirements, reduce barriers to housing construction, and strategically lower development charges to encourage investment and growth.
A lifelong entrepreneur, Geoff has built a diverse career spanning real estate, the arts, hospitality, education, and small business. An accomplished violinist, violist, and fiddle player, he has performed in 14 countries, taught hundreds of students, contributed to the launch of a successful restaurant, and worked on both sides of the camera in the film industry.
Geoff is passionate about Strong Towns principles, sustainable development, and creating vibrant communities. He believes strong real estate decisions contribute not only to the success of individual clients but also to the long-term prosperity of the broader community.
“We’re excited to welcome Geoff to Brunswick Brokers,” said Troy Nesbitt, President. “His combination of development knowledge, business acumen, and public sector leadership brings a unique perspective and well-rounded understanding of commercial real estate, which will provide immense value to our clients.”
Please join us in welcoming Geoff back to Saint John and to the Brunswick Brokers team.
