About Us

Starting Small

John Watson started Watson & Downs Investments in 1970 by purchasing a lot where he developed and built our first property. This property was leased to Jack’s Hamburger.

Our Story

The property leased to Jack’s Hamburgers was purchased as a long term investment opportunity. John developed this piece of property with the plan of using it to one day pay for his children’s college education.

Since then, Watson & Downs Investments has grown to own millions of square feet of commercial real estate. Included in these properties are institutional, industrial, retail shopping centres, single tenant retail, professional offices, and medical offices. The company is still family owned and operated to this day.
