Arlington Street Investments

Catalyst. Leader. Innovator. Entrepreneur.

Frank is a driven entrepreneur with a captivating personality – his business acumen combined with the ability to build open and honest relationships is what differentiates him from other investors and developers. He believes in transparency and ensures that all stakeholders have access to important information. Clear communication and stress testing ideas guarantees that every job gets done right.

Known as a catalyst and someone who is not afraid to take risks, Frank has proven success in the marketplace. As the founder and CEO of ASI, Frank is responsible for all acquisitions and strategic business development activities. He sits on several public and private advisory Boards and Boards of Directors, is a graduate of the University of Winnipeg with a major in political science, and has completed the Entrepreneurial Master’s Program on the campus of MIT.

Frank enjoyed early success as an entrepreneur in Western Canada through the startup and creation of the region’s largest food services company and successfully sold that business in 2004. He began his real estate career at the young age of 26 and continued to grow his portfolio of assets and astute business skills, situating himself now as a prominent Real Estate Developer and Investor.

In 2000, Frank moved to Calgary and continued to build momentum with his successful model of acquiring larger buildings and greater capital, shifting his focus to commercial property assemblies in the Calgary Beltline and Downtown Core.  From 2000 – 2005 he acquired twelve (12) “C” class commercial buildings with a land base of three city acres in the S.E. Beltline of Calgary. Frank made the decision to sell his entire portfolio prior to the dramatic market shift in 2007. He then re-launched his company in 2012 and has since amassed over half of a billion dollars in development assets and built an executive management team of industry leaders.
