Our History

Concert was established in 1989 with a mandate to provide economically priced rental housing in British Columbia. This unique partnership involving the City of Vancouver, the Province of British Columbia, union and management pension funds and private investors was initiated with a start-up capitalization of $27 million.

In 1992, Concert expanded its real estate activities to include the development of multi-family, condominium housing to meet a need for quality, affordable home ownership, and to apply the diverse development expertise and capabilities of the company.

In 1996, Concert began acquiring and developing industrial and commercial properties to create new profit centres and to capitalize on the significant range of professional expertise within the Concert team. Our professional experience and the quality of our construction has also provided us with the opportunity to manage a variety of real estate development projects for other groups throughout British Columbia.

Adding yet another dimension to its residential development portfolio, Concert is now actively involved in the development of retirement communities designed to enhance the lives of active seniors having already completed three such communities in British Columbia and Ontario.

In 2002, Concert expanded its operations into the Ontario market. The primary focus of this expansion was initially to develop and manage new “assured” rental housing in alliance with the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (“OMERS”). This commitment has now been expanded to include a unique retirement community and condominium development.

Today, Concert is a 100 per cent pension fund owned real estate corporation with activities in British Columbia, Alberta and Ontario.
