The Concert team

In March we wrote about the “all star” team of consultants that Concert has assembled in order to transform Harbourside into a destination mixed-use community. Today we focus on two talented members of the Concert development team who have been championing this vision for Harbourside over the past four years. 

Lisa Lock – Vice President, Development
In Lisa’s 12 years with Concert she has managed the development of several award-winning large and mid-scale residential projects in Vancouver, West Vancouver, Richmond and Victoria. She has extensive experience working with City officials and community groups to reach successful, mutually beneficial agreements. Within Concert, Lisa is the senior development team member on Harbourside and is responsible for overseeing all aspects of the process. Lisa has lived on the North Shore for 15 years, previously in the City of North Vancouver for 11 years in a heritage home she and her husband restored. 

Farouk Babul – Development Manager
Farouk has seven years of broad-based experience with Concert where he has worked in sales and marketing, acquisitions and ultimately development. Having worked on over a dozen projects, he now handles all of the day-to-day operations in the rezoning process for Harbourside under Lisa’s oversight. Farouk also serves as Concert’s representative on the North Shore Chamber of Commerce.    

Both Lisa and Farouk have been involved with the revitalization plans for Harbourside from the very beginning in early 2009. In speaking to either of them, it’s difficult not to share their excitement about the project. They are both intensely passionate about how Harbourside could be transformed into a unique mixed-use community with its own very distinct character and sense of place. They see this as a one-of-a-kind opportunity to help create the framework to foster community for generations to come.
