About Concert Infrastructure

Launched in 2010 - Concert Infrastructure has recognized success through an active approach to identifying and developing Canadian public-private partnership project opportunities and direct management of the infrastructure assets in our investment portfolio.

Our foundation and strength include the backing of Canadians represented by the union and management pension plans that are unitholders of Concert Infrastructure.

Concert Infrastructure, an independent long-term investor, developer, and manager, was established to partner with governments to deliver critical public infrastructure assets that support essential public services that strengthen the economic and social fabric of Canadian communities and the well-being of Canadians. This Canadian-centric public private model seeks to secure the long-term financial future of Canadians, while partnering with Canadian companies and employing Canadian workers.

Concert Infrastructure is part of the broader Concert Properties group of companies, that include Concert Real Estate Corporation (CREC) and Concert Income Properties (CIP) - a Canadian real estate development, acquisition and management enterprise in operation since 1989.

Integrity underpins each of our partnerships and all our decision making. Our relentless passion for quality means we hold ourselves to a standard of unparalleled execution, service, and management excellence as we realize our vision of delivering resilient, inclusive, and sustainable infrastructure across Canada.
