Mark Baltazar
CEO and Co-Founder
Mark began his real estate investing career in 2014 focusing on single-family rehabilitation projects and single-family rentals. He then shifted to commercial multifamily in 2017, growing a portfolio of over $40 million in assets under management to date.
The multifamily strategy executed to date has included the acquisition of underperforming apartment buildings, improving, and repositioning them to a stabilized operating business – the same strategy the Trust will continue executing on.
Prior to real estate, Mark has extensive business experience spanning over 20 years, with 15 years as a partner in a brand strategy and analytics firm with clients that include some of the world’s largest consumer brands. In this role, Mark was responsible for the revenue growth of the firm and the delivery of strategic consulting services to help the firm’s clients achieve growth through new product innovation and strategic brand repositioning. Mark sold his remaining stake in the business in 2020 to enable him to remain hyper-focused on continuing to grow a private equity real estate investment business.
Mark’s 20+ years of strategic management experience and 10+ years of real estate investment experience has been an integral driver of the growth that Peak Multifamily Investments Ltd. has experienced to date and will continue to drive growth of the Trust into the future.
