Dalton joins APM with 20 years of professional experience working in real estate development and planning. Trained as a land use planner at Mount Allison University and Queen’s University, Dalton has held senior planning and development positions with both provincial and municipal levels of government.
Prior to joining APM, Dalton served as the director of real estate for Canada Lands Company from 2002-11 with the last five years dedicated to the residential and commercial redevelopment of the former military base Pleasantville Station in St. John’s, NL.
Gillis’ promotion highlight APM’s diverse objectives as a growing company. He joined APM in 1995 and oversaw the real estate assets, property management, and design-build services on the company.
Gillis is an architect by training and prior to joining APM, he was a principal partner in the Island-based architectural firm Gillis + Guimond Architects. He has worked on APM’s largest contracts, including the development of 35 Atlantic Superstore projects throughout Atlantic Canada.
CEO Tim Banks said he looks forward to working with them in their new roles.
“As APM continues to grow, we need very capable people making the decisions that matter,” said Banks. “Brian has done an exemplary job but we need his strategic and creative mind to manage our growing real estate portfolio. John will pick up where he left off continuing to sell our business to clients all over Canada.”
He said APM’s most valuable resource is its people.
“We try to cultivate the best in all of our employee.”
