Lindsay Brand is joining Concert Properties in the role of chief investment officer. She arrives with a comprehensive background in real estate development and investment, most recently as chief investment officer with Dream Unlimited Corporation, but also from the lender’s side of deals at a major Canadian financial institution.

“As a strong leader with extensive experience in senior real estate investment roles, I am confident in Lindsay’s ability to deliver long-term portfolio growth across the country and create value for our shareholders,” says Christine Bergeron, president and chief executive officer of Concert Properties.

Brand will be based in Concert’s Toronto office, where she will oversee its open-ended limited partnership Canadian fund and lead the national team responsible for income-producing properties. She assumes her new duties as of April 2.

“I am very excited to be joining Concert Properties, a reputable and progressive company that is well diversified, both by asset class and geography,” Brand says.

She holds a Bachelor degree from the Richard Ivey School of Business at Western University and a Master of Science in Real Estate Development from Columbia University, and is a member of the board of directors of two public companies.
