Pete Roden

Pete is responsible for managing the borrowing needs for Skyline’s three REITs: Skyline Apartment REIT, Skyline Industrial REIT, and Skyline Retail REIT.

With a background in economics, Pete began his financial services career in England, having moved to the UK in his mid-teens. There, he garnered 20+ years of experience, culminating in his formation of an independent financial advisor (IFA) brokerage in 1995, where he specialized in both mortgage financing services and helping high-net-worth clients mitigate their inheritance tax liabilities using tax-efficient investment strategies.

In 2003, Pete sold a share of his brokerage business to a chartered accountancy firm that wanted to incorporate financial services with their taxation advice; together, they formed a financial services LLP. Pete later sold his remaining share when he and his family returned to Canada.

Immediately prior to joining Skyline, Pete worked at IC Funding, a commercial mortgage brokerage in London, Ontario, where he concentrated on building relationships with large borrowers with real estate portfolios, one of which was Skyline. Having developed a strong understanding of Skyline’s business model and financing requirements, he was honoured to accept its invitation to lead its new in-house mortgage division.
