That ownership model shapes everything: longer project timelines, higher build quality, lower assignment churn, and a preference for holding buildings as a co-investor rather than flipping them out. This page covers Concert's Tri-Cities record. Craig has represented buyers in Concert product across Vancouver and the Tri-Cities since 2014. Concert is less prolific in Coquitlam than Polygon or Onni but punches above its weight on quality. Their Inlet Centre (Port Moody) project Innova is their current Tri-Cities focus.

Uniquely among BC homebuilders, Concert is owned by a consortium of Canadian pension funds — they build with their pensioners' retirement money, which means the financial incentive is long-term asset performance, not quick flip profit. In the Tri-Cities, Concert's most active current project is Innova at Inlet Centre (Port Moody). They also hold rental buildings throughout the region that they've operated for decades. Sources ## Where the information lives. Every figure on this page draws from the primary sources listed below. When a builder changes pricing, timeline, or floor plans, their disclosure statement (filed with BCFSA) is always the authoritative reference. - [Concert Properties — Official site ↗](https://www.concertproperties.com/) - [BC Housing — Concert licence registry ↗](https://www.bchousing.org/licensing-consumer-services/licensed-residential-builder) - [Innova — Project site ↗](https://www.concertproperties.com/innova) By the numbers ## Concert Tri-Cities portfolio · June 2026 | Project | Location | Units | Status | | --- | --- | --- | --- | | Innova | Inlet Centre (Port Moody) | ~260 | Active presale · Q4 2027 | | Legacy rental portfolio | Coquitlam + Burnaby | 800+ | Owner-operated, not for sale | | Future Tri-Cities pipeline | Undisclosed | ~1,200 units | Entitlement phase | Step by step ## What to know about buying Concert in the Tri-Cities 1. 1 Understand Concert's timeline bias. Because they're pension-backed, Concert builds slowly and finishes well. Expect 3-year presale-to-completion windows and fewer 'hype' marketing cycles than Polygon or Onni. 2. 2 Tour a completed Concert building in Vancouver (they have several in Yaletown and Mount Pleasant) to assess what the Tri-Cities product will feel like. Concert's interior-finish standard is consistent across projects. 3. 3 Review the Disclosure Statement carefully — Concert's DSs are thorough and include more architectural and engineering detail than most BC builders. Your lawyer will appreciate the transparency. 4. 4 Deposit structure is typically 5% on signing, 10% at 6 months, 5% at 18 months, 5% at completion — slightly heavier mid-construction than Polygon or Onni. Budget accordingly. 5. 5 Confirm mortgage pre-approval with a lender familiar with long-timeline presales. Concert's 36-month construction window means rate-hold strategy becomes a real factor in total cost. ![Craig Johnston, REALTOR® — Coquitlam](https://soldbycraig.ca/wp-content/uploads/2026/03/DSC1119-1-scaled.jpg) Craig's take > Concert is the quiet professional of BC homebuilders. They don't run aggressive marketing campaigns, they don't bring flashy incentive packages, and they almost never dominate a sales cycle. What they do is finish a building to a standard most builders won't match, operate a functional strata from day one, and deliver a product that still feels new at year ten. — Craig Johnston, REALTOR® · Macdonald Realty · Tri-Cities resident 47+ years ### Ready to tour a sales centre with a buyer's advocate?

Where is Innova located? Innova is at the Inlet Centre SkyTrain station in Port Moody, at the intersection of Ioco Road and Inlet Drive. It's a 3-minute walk to Suter Brook Village and a 5-minute walk to Newport Village. Is Concert a different company than Concord Pacific? Yes — completely different. Concord Pacific (Concord Glen at Lafarge) is a Hong Kong-based international developer. Concert Properties is a BC-owned pension-fund-backed builder. Different ownership, different culture, different track record. How does Concert's build quality compare to Polygon? Concert and Polygon are the two highest-reputation concrete builders in the Tri-Cities, by consensus among Coquitlam strata councils. Concert tends toward slightly more conservative design (smaller common-area amenities, more modest materials palette); Polygon toward slightly more amenity-heavy. Build quality of the product itself is comparable. What types of homes does Concert build? Concert builds concrete high-rise condominiums, wood-frame townhomes, rental apartment buildings (for their own portfolio), and some mixed-use commercial. In the Tri-Cities the current focus is high-rise concrete condos. When does Innova complete? Q4 2027 per the Disclosure Statement. Outside completion date is mid-2028. Is Innova subject to the Port Moody heritage or OCP restrictions? Innova was approved through Port Moody's Official Community Plan process in 2022. Height limits, parking ratios, and streetscape design were negotiated with the city during rezoning — the approved design is what will be built. What are Concert's strata fees typically? Approximately $0.45–$0.60 per sqft per month for Concert product in the Tri-Cities. A 900 sqft 2-bed would run $405–$540/month. Concert keeps amenity offerings focused, which keeps fees moderate. Does Concert allow assignments? Limited. Concert prefers owner-occupiers or long-hold investors. Assignments require builder approval and carry a 1.5–2.5% assignment fee. Is Concert a rental or for-sale builder? Both. Concert holds a large rental portfolio (they own and operate rental buildings across Vancouver, Coquitlam, and Burnaby) and also sells condominium projects to individual buyers. Innova is a for-sale condo project. How do I register for a Concert presale? Through a Concert-registered realtor (I can register you) or directly at the Concert sales centre. VIP realtor registration typically provides 48–72 hours of first-access pricing. Next reads ## Build the full picture.
