Putting people first is at the heart of the Concert Properties story. In 1989, Concert Properties was founded with a mandate to create assured rental housing. The Company has since grown and diversified, and has become a real estate corporation that develops, owns and manages rental apartments; develops condominium homes; and develops, acquires and manages industrial and office properties. Today, the Company has grown to over $6.6 billion in assets under control, and remains one of the most trusted names in Canadian real estate.

Concert Properties’ unique ownership structure is one of several factors that reflects its people-first approach. The Company is owned by 49 union and management pension plans and institutional investors that represent over 200,000 Canadians. Its three founding principles also have stood the test of time. The first is to deliver attractive, long-term returns for its owners; the second is to create jobs and use skilled construction union labour; and the third is to give back to the communities where it operates. The Company’s guiding values—quality, integrity, service excellence, collaboration and empowerment—outline its culture and shape how its 290+ employees show up. Proudly Canadian, with a portfolio of assets across Canada and two main offices in Vancouver and Toronto, Concert Properties is committed to providing quality employment across the country and working together with the people it serves to realize its vision—building resilient, inclusive, sustainable communities.

Concert Properties is now looking for its next President & Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Reporting to the Concert Real Estate Corporation Board of Directors and the Concert Income Properties Board of Directors, the President & CEO is responsible for the overall management of the business and affairs of Concert Properties, with the goal of achieving the objectives set out by the Boards. The President & CEO will take on broad responsibility for leading the overall business and overseeing capital and investment strategy, stakeholder and investor relations, asset management, leasing, property management, development and construction. The organization is at an exciting time in its history as it enters a period of transformation. The new President & CEO will have a mandate to help steward the evolution of the organization as it shifts its business strategy.

The ideal candidate is an accomplished strategic executive who brings experience leading change in a large, complex, diversified business. Specific expertise in capital markets, finance and investments is ideal. While real estate and private asset experience (including infrastructure, private equity and debt) is a significant asset, the successful candidate also may bring experience as a CEO from another related industry involving finance, large capital projects or in complex, multi-stakeholder environments. Exceptional relationship-building, influencing and strategic thinking skills will be required, as success will be predicated on the ability to maximize the strengths of an experienced team, work with two diverse and passionate Boards and lead the organization through an ever-changing macro environment.

Located in Vancouver, BC, this is a rare opportunity for an inspirational and visionary leader to take on a change mandate leading one of the most recognizable real estate companies in Canada, with a deep commitment to building a positive, sustainable legacy for its team members, shareholders and the communities in which it operates.

The expected salary range for this role is $500,000 to $600,000, plus STIP and LTIP bonuses.
