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 product 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 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 began developing resort condominium properties in 1999 and most recently has begun exploring new housing options for active adults and seniors.

In 2002, Concert expanded its operations into the Ontario market. The primary focus to date has been development and management of new “assured” rental housing in alliance with the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System (“OMERS”). Concert brings its extensive residential experience and professional expertise to the initiative. Concert and OMERS have jointly made a commitment of $600 million toward the creation of new rental housing units throughout Ontario.

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