"Savills is continuing its strategic advancement throughout North America and the opening in Edmonton increases our presence in Western Canada," said Vice Chairman and Market Lead for the Mountain-Northwest region Rick Schuham.

Adding Alex and Kyle to Savills extends our global industrial services platform and our ability to deliver local expertise throughout Alberta."

Heintz and Bartkus will work from a new space located in the 124^th Street submarket at 10406 124 St. NW.

The team has executed transactions on behalf of prominent companies including Above and Beyond Compression, Allied Fitting Canada, Ampak, Bird Construction, HESCO, OK Tire, Parkland Fuel, The Brick, and Wood Wyant Canada.

Heintz is a noted perennial top performer having successfully completed more than $200 million in transactions, totaling over 2 million square feet.
