Now, decades later, DLRE is one of the most highly regarded tenant representation firms in Ottawa and the surrounding region, offering unmatched expertise and deep operational support to clients nationwide. Owned by Sister and Brother team, David Lang and Sonia Lang which means that we don’t have to answer to shareholders. Our sole fiduciary duty is to protect the interests of our clients, and we do it better than anyone else in the business.
Though our focus is in the greater Ottawa region, our experience has led us to India where we open up a facility on behalf of AMCC of San Diego, and multiple representation in other markets including the United States, England and France.
When you have finished the full cycle with DLRE, you will know that you have seen the whole market, negotiated the best deal possible, that your lease is “iron clad”, your construction costs have been tendered properly and that DLRE is there for support 24/7 for the remaining term of the lease.

David has worked in commercial real estate for more than 20 years. The philosophy of the company was to act as an “in-house” real estate department for his various clients. David was the pioneer in Eastern Canada in creating the concept of full tenant representation. He strongly believed that any representation of landlords in the form of listings was a conflict whether it be direct or indirect. Besides negotiating rental rates and leasing incentives, David also involves himself in complete lease negotiation and inserts numerous protective clauses into his client’s leases. Upon completion of any transaction, David stays involved throughout the lease term and acts as an “in house” real estate department on call 7 days a week to deal with any problems or disputes that may arise.
This “hands on” approach has enabled David to secure many Fortune 500 companies as his long term clients. In addition to working in Ottawa, David has located and opened up facilities for numerous clients in the UK, France, India and the United States.
In 1995, David co-founded Ridgeford Properties in London, England and spent six years developing properties in the UK, where he relocated Thomas Cook Travel from its Barkley Square facility where they had resided for decades, and moving them into Ridgeford’s remodeled 4-5 Maple Street, W2. In 2000, David married Suzanne in the UK, relocated back to Canada and resumed his tenure as Principal with David Lang Real Estate Ltd., he has 3 children.
