About Porte Communities
Real estate has been Porte’s focus since 1968. It’s a labour of love to build communities and enrich lives.
Porte’s founder, Hershey Porte, launched our company as a real estate brokerage. And he quickly grew it from there into residential and commercial development and real estate ownership. His success was thanks, in large part, to his remarkable sense of integrity. Today, we focus on developing, owning and managing properties. We started with a focus on Metro Vancouver and have expanded into Victoria and Calgary.
It’s been quite the journey to bring to life incredible places to live and work. Our growth over the last few decades has immersed us in many facets of real estate, which expands our knowledge and inspires us to be better. Porte has thrived throughout market cycles, trends and business landscapes. We’ve learned a lot about what people need and want in a home or commercial space. And along the way, we’ve never lost sight of who we are — people focused, committed to excellence, trustworthy and community builders.
Our team at Porte is enthusiastic about creating the backdrops for memories — not only for homeowners, business owners and tenants, but for ourselves, too. We’re a group of ambitious people doing great work. We take what we do seriously, and there’s no lack of fun while we work.
