Kris began his career learning the construction trade by working at his father’s business, Mailman Construction. Kris took over his father’s business in 1983 and diversified into duplexes and built their first rental apartment building. In 1992, Mailman Construction was renamed Seymour Pacific Developments. Later, in 1994, Kris launched Broadstreet Properties to professionally manage the buildings he constructed through Seymour Pacific Developments.
Kris grew the business from building local, single-family homes in Campbell River, BC, to becoming an industry leader in developing, building, and managing multi-unit housing developments across Western Canada. Kris has over 35+ years of experience in land development, construction, and property management, and has created an organization that builds homes that far exceed clients’ expectations for quality, functionality, and aesthetics.
