Tim Banks

Tim Banks left school at age 16 to run his father’s garage where he quickly learned the value of a good work ethic.  He was able to return to school when he started a part-time job at a construction site and eventually enrolled and graduated from the Construction Technology program at Holland College. After graduation, he spent an additional two years with the same company, learning the industry.  In 1980, Tim ventured out on his own, starting a new construction development business, Project Management Services.

Tim is presently the CEO and principal shareholder of APM with offices in Charlottetown, Halifax, Toronto, and Calgary, employing approximately 200 people.  He is also a director of a number of other companies involved in commercial real estate, retailing, and manufacturing, and is an active partner in a variety of property development projects throughout Atlantic Canada.  Tim is a Certified Engineering Technologist with over 35 years of experience in all aspects of construction and property development.  He is well known in the Island community, not only as a business leader, but also for his commitment to creating opportunities for future business growth as well as the promotion of our younger Atlantic talent pool.

Tim has been the lead negotiator on thousands of property deals and leases across Canada on behalf of a wide range of landlords and tenants.  He is extensively familiar with regional leasing practices and property regulatory bodies.  His network reaches across Canada, insuring that he can find the best client for the best property – with no exceptions.

APM is committed to the spirit of community and is a supporter of the Confederation Centre of the Arts, the IWK Hospital, the Queen Elizabeth Hospital, and the Prince County Hospital.  Additionally, they sponsor the Holland College Hurricanes, several community bursaries, and several other initiatives. 

Tim received a Distinguished Alumni Award in 2011.
