All the best, The Editorial Team We will keep adding business units that enhance our offering and separate us from our competition. “ ” Editor From The Dear Reader, Welcome to the latest issue of Construction Source Canada, the magazine that highlights the best in building and building products across the country. In this edition, we’ve cast our gaze all across the country, and we’ve looked not just at builders and developer, but also at a selection of building material suppliers, mechanical service providers, and aggregate producers and recyclers. Firstly, however, we took a look at Anthem Properties – one of the country’s leading real estate development, investment and management companies, with core offices located in Vancouver, Calgary, Edmonton, Toronto, and Sacramento. Their growing residential portfolio includes more than 20,500 homes, while their past and present commercial portfolio includes over nine million square feet of retail, industrial and office space. Today, Anthem employs a selfperforming, fully-integrated team of about 570, and together their guiding mission is to create “real estate that works” – as in works for all stakeholders, including their customers, their project partners, and the communities in which they work. For more on Anthem’s mission, we spoke to Mike Grywacheski, a leader of the company’s internal construction team. Mike also walked us through one of the company’s most significant ongoing projects, a bold and energetic master-planned mix-used community in South Coquitlam called SOCO. Meanwhile, this edition also features a look at ARRO Crushing – a leading resource in Ontario for custom onsite aggregate crushing, screening recycling, aggregate resale, and equipment rentals. We talked to owner and co-founder Jared Kuepfer about their diverse array of services and how they all contribute to their mission of making sustainable building practices possible within the construction industry. This time out, we also tell the story of Arthon. They are a longstanding Kelowna-based company with over 50 years of history in their local market. These days, they are a full-service general contracting company with expertise in a wide range of services, as well as the owners and operators of two local quarries, from which they do their own aggregate producing. We caught up with leaders from both sides of their business. They talked to us about Arthon’s ability to overcome challenges, about their depth of in-house experience and knowledge, and about their new asphalt and concrete recycling capabilities and other green initiatives. To read those stories – and more like them, about other industry leaders from across the country – just keep flipping the pages.
