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.
