Concert understands the importance of preserving the historical richness of the communities in which it builds. Blending the past with the present, Concert celebrates bygone eras while creating interesting new developments in established neighbourhoods.

In Toronto, Concert has constructed the 28-storey Jazz assured rental residential building. Paying tribute to the history of the area, Jazz integrates the retained heritage facade of 167 Church Street, along with the replication of 163 and 157 Church Street, into the base of the new building.

A few blocks away, Concert's plans for its Five Corners mixed-use development in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood of downtown Toronto include preserving the existing four-storey office building at 70 The Esplanade in its entirety and rebuilding the four-storey facade of 6 Church Street.

In Vancouver, Concert's award-winning seniors' living community, The O'Keefe at Arbutus Walk, occupies the site of the former Carlings O'Keefe brewery. The O'Keefe was designed to emulate the original brewery built in the early 1900s, with the central architectural feature of the building being an exact replica of the original "Brewer's Tower" built as a tribute to the heritage of the Kitsilano neighbourhood and the early years of the Arbutus Walk site.

Currently under construction in Vancouver is Tapestry. Weaving together the best of the past and the future, Tapestry includes both a 10-storey and a six-storey residence on the site of the historic Vancouver General Hospital Nurses' Residence. Built in 1948, the Art Moderne architectural facade and eastern structure of the existing 10-storey residence will be integrated into the new 10-storey development as a reminder of the importance this building played in the past.

And now underway is the major redevelopment of Vancouver's Downtown YMCA, a project that includes retaining the 1941 heritage building that has served the community for more than 60 years.
