Pomerleau Construction has opened a new office in Vancouver after its business in B.C. has continued to grow.
“I am very proud of this new location, which is our way of demonstrating Pomerleau’s dedication to expanding its presence in Vancouver,” commented Pierre Pomerleau, president and CEO. “Investing in our people and leveraging innovation to keep raising the bar is what defines us. We look forward to continuing to work and grow with our esteemed clients, trusted partners and talented teams as this move is an important milestone in establishing our company as a prime partner from coast to coast.”
A press release by the company noted that its B.C. expansion was based on the “solid footprint” established over the years through the acquisition of Westpro in 2016, and the numerous large-scale renewable energy and architectural woodworking projects it has carried out through its Borea and Beaubois divisions in British Columbia.
The company stated that by moving its surrey offices to Vancouver, it will be closer to the region’s economic heart, clients and partners. It added that the decision is also is to improve work for employees by offering them a modern, open-plan office environment.
The company’s B.C. team, led by senior vice president Gordon R. Mann, plans to increase its ability to support new and ongoing projects, including construction of the South Burnaby Arena and the new outfall pipeline for the Annacis Island Wastewater Treatment Plant, among others.
The company celebrated the opening of its new office this month by welcoming partners, clients and stakeholders. Guests at the event had the opportunity to try virtual reality goggles for an exclusive walkthrough experience of some of Pomerleau’s key projects. Pomerleau officials stated it was a taste of the kind of innovation happening at the company.
At the event Pomerleau also announced a charitable donation to RainCity Housing, a cause selected by the employees as part of an internal contest. RainCity Housing creates, implements, and manages housing and support programs that sustain relationships, strengthen communities and drive change for people experiencing homelessness and mental health, trauma and substance use issues, throughout the Lower Mainland.
“Establishing ourselves in the BC community means more to us than just doing business. It also means giving back and playing a key role in making our community a better place,” said Mann. “The special alignment between RainCity Housing and Pomerleau’s values were key to our employees’ choice, and we couldn’t be prouder to support them as they strive to reach new heights.”
