PBM Realty Holdings Inc.

No matter their client’s property needs, PBM has the capacity and ability to provide a “fully- integrated, experience-driven solution,” according to Peter Moore, founder and president of the company. Peter first came to Barrie in 1974, when he was working in the packaging business, and the Toronto-based company he was working for had him move to the city. A year later, that company wanted to bring him back to Toronto, but Peter liked Barrie so much that he opted instead to resign and start his own business. That business – Moore Packaging Corporation – started with Peter building corrugated boxes from his own garage and selling them to local businesses. In the years that followed, the company outgrew their premises five separate times. Today, they have a full warehouse and office facility in Barrie and they employ over 220 people. Peter’s experience moving buildings with Moore Packaging was what exposed him to the industrial real estate industry. He started by buying buildings and leasing them to the box company, but eventually he started buying buildings and leasing them to others. During the 1990s recession, especially, a lot of empty buildings became available and PBM Realty’s holdings grew quickly.

Peter partly credits that to their depth and responsiveness of their management and maintenance services.”
