The BridgePort group of companies manages over 100 properties, comprising 3,200 residential units and almost 1.0M square feet of commercial space with an asset value of $225M.

Leading the company are Hugh Gorman, Pierre Hurteau and Yawar Khan, who together have over 50 years of experience in management and business development.

“What sets BridgePort apart,” noted Mr. Gorman “is our unique investment approach to the assets we manage, our creativity in sourcing and structuring new investment opportunities and our commitment to maintaining the highest level of integrity in the relationships with our clients, tenants and the community at large”.

Mr. Hurteau has over 20 years of real estate industry experience. He has worked with several of Canada's largest private real estate companies, financial institutions and a prominent Canadian pension fund manager. Mr. Hurteau's diverse experience at various executive levels includes third party property management, leasing, asset management, acquisitions, dispositions, and fund management of real estate assets in Canada, US and Asia.

“At BridgePort our focus is on Asset management first, followed by active property and construction management and leasing,” noted Mr. Hurteau. “We have the discipline and the knowledge to first develop a strategy and a plan to execute the strategy for every asset. We then engage our property management, construction and leasing team to execute the asset management plan. We are co-owners with our clients and being an owner is very different than being a third party manager. We believe this perspective combined with our experience makes BridgePort unique in this marketplace.”

Mr. Khan's focus is on Corporate Affairs, including corporate governance, marketing and investor relations. Yawar's management experience envelopes working with large academic health science centres in Alberta and Ontario, as well as working for a National membership-based company- MD Management (the financial subsidiary of CMA Holdings). His diverse experience includes start-up operations, business analysis, business development and governance.

“BridgePort's strategy is simple,” noted Mr. Khan, “We are going to build a robust and flexible platform that will allow our investment management business to execute quickly and bring unique value to our clients.”
