Chard is proud to announce the formation of Chard Property Group (CPG), a fully integrated property management company and sister company to Chard Development.
“Chard Property Group grew out of a desire to bring a fully integrated, knowledge-based approach to property management,” said President and CEO, Byron Chard. “We recognized the value in providing services that extend through development and into property management. We created CPG to bring a dedicated focus to both client and tenant satisfaction through a comprehensive management program.”
CPG offers property management services across many asset classes – including residential rental, office and commercial assets – in Western Canada. Services include tenant relations and retention, accounting and reporting, lease and contract administration, property maintenance, capital planning, personnel training, and quality assurance. Services are available to select third-party property owners whose assets align with Chard’s strategic value add approach and expertise.
Led by Vice President of Property Management, Renee St. Germaine, CPG assumed responsibility for property management of three significant real estate assets on April 1, 2023.
“Chard’s history of building long-lasting, respectful relationships that exceed expectations forms the foundation of our property management concept and supports our commitment to integrity, accountability, professionalism, and service excellence,” said St. Germaine. “My team is thrilled to be working across asset classes to ensure operational efficiency, drive asset value and exceed expectations at both the partner and tenant level.”
