April 16, 2020


We are happy to announce that Nicolas Delahousse and Domenic Garisto will be joining Comtech as two key strategic hires in Q2 of 2020. Nicolas and Domenic will provide support on the Eglinton Crosstown West Extension (ECWE) Technical Advisory Services project that Comtech has recently won alongside Arup. Nicolas started with Comtech on April 6, 2020, as a Property Lead while Domenic will be joining as a Senior Property Acquisition Specialist beginning April 20, 2020.

 

Nicolas is a trained lawyer with extensive experience in property acquisition and corridor management for large linear infrastructure projects including, most notably, the Stage 1 and 2 of the Ottawa Light Rail Transit Project. He has negotiated numerous agreements with governmental agencies and managed the expropriation of multiple private interests. With fluency in both French and English, Nicolas has helped provide strategic support in developing the project corridor, mobilization strategy and relevant project agreement schedules.  In his new role with Comtech, Nicolas will be responsible for leading the ECWE’s Property Team in defining the Project’s real estate needs and supporting the implementation of an acquisition strategy.

 

 Domenic is an experienced Development Specialist skilled in land development, negotiation, operations management, and rail. Most recently, he worked as a Transit Development Consultant at TTC engaged in various projects, including Metrolinx Entrance Connections, Bloor Yonge Capacity Enhancements, TYSSE/YU Property Agreements, 4050 Yonge Street Development and the St. Clair Centre Revitalization Project. Domenic has experience in Transit-Oriented Development (TOD), focusing on agreement negotiations and project design approvals. He will be responsible for developing the ECWE’s Project Agreement Property Schedules in collaboration with the Technical Advisory Team.

 

In addition to leading the charge on the ECWE project, both Nicolas and Domenic will support Comtech’s Property Team on the Ontario Line Technical Advisory project, and vice versa.
