Your Partners in Commercial Financing Success
Backed by Senior Relationships Across Canada’s Commercial Lending Market
Proven Expertise in Commercial Financing
Scott Westlake has spent over a decade structuring debt for commercial real estate transactions across Ontario. He works directly with business owners, investors, and developers — and frequently supports other brokers — by underwriting and placing everything from institutional loans to complex, hard-to-place financings.
From land and construction to stabilized income-producing assets and CMHC-insured take-outs, every transaction is approached with a focus on capital structure, risk, and long-term outcomes. The objective is always to secure the right capital for each stage of a project, not just the fastest approval.
To support this, Scott has assembled a hand-selected group of senior underwriters with deep expertise across multiple commercial asset classes, along with a strategic advisory board made up of influential industry professionals. This structure allows Westlake Commercial Capital to access decision-makers, navigate complexity, and open doors that are often unavailable through traditional brokerage channels.
The result is a disciplined, relationship-driven approach to commercial finance that gives clients clarity, confidence, and a meaningful advantage in competitive or challenging transactions.

Scott Westlake is a commercial real estate financing strategist with over a decade of experience structuring capital for developers, investors, and business owners across Ontario and beyond. He leads Westlake Commercial Capital, where he focuses on complex, transaction-driven commercial real estate financings — including land, construction, transitional assets, stabilized income properties, and CMHC-insured take-outs.
In addition to originating his own client transactions, Scott operates a commercial deal desk that supports other brokers and advisors on sophisticated files that require deeper underwriting, lender access, or capital-stack structuring. This collaborative model allows more deals to get done while giving clients and partners access to institutional, private, and alternative funding sources that are not always available through traditional channels.
Scott brings together disciplined underwriting, direct lender relationships, and a hand-selected team of senior underwriters across multiple asset classes to deliver clear strategies and reliable execution. Backed by an influential advisory network, he helps navigate complexity, accelerate approvals, and open doors at critical points in a transaction.
The result is a capital-markets-driven approach to commercial financing — focused on outcomes, risk management, and long-term value rather than simply placing a loan.
