François Huot, MBA, BBA, FICB
Strategic Director, Real Estate Consulting Services
“As Strategic Director of Real Estate Consulting Services, I help organizations identify, manage, and reduce the operating expenses associated with their real estate portfolios. My work focuses primarily on property tax strategy, assessment reviews, valuation analysis, and appeals across North America.
Drawing on extensive experience in real estate taxation, financial analysis, business development, client advisory services, asset management, and private equity, I work closely with property owners, operators, investors, and corporate real estate teams to identify potential overassessments, manage filing deadlines, and pursue sustainable tax savings. Each mandate requires a detailed understanding of the property, the applicable assessment framework, local market conditions, and the client’s broader business objectives.
I also collaborate with Leyton’s multidisciplinary teams to identify complementary opportunities in areas such as sales tax recovery, customs duties, capital incentives, and clean technology investment programs. I am fortunate to work in a field where technical expertise and strategic advice can produce measurable financial results, and I take pride in helping clients make informed decisions regarding some of their most significant operating costs.”

Yes. Under the One Big Beautiful Bill Act (OBBBA) passed in 2025, Section 179D is scheduled to sunset on June 30, 2026. To remain eligible, projects must satisfy the IRS “beginning of construction” requirements before that date. Businesses planning energy-efficient upgrades should act early to secure eligibility and maximize available tax benefits.
Our studies are led by a team of qualified engineers, construction analysts, and tax professionals. This interdisciplinary approach ensures both technical accuracy and tax defensibility in case of an audit.
Our fees vary depending on the complexity and size of the property, but we always provide a free benefit estimate upfront, so you can see the projected ROI before moving forward. Many clients see a 10x return on their investment.
