Shahram Malek and Peter Malek didn't’t start out as glamour-project developers of Vancouver real estates. Their father, Amir made his sons drive all over Vancouver to meet construction-company operators and developers. He told them to do whatever it took to break into the market.
That might have been mostly why they stripped out any profit when the BC Place parkade job came along almost three decades ago, and reduced their bid by another $50,000. They won the bid and got their foot in the door after having lost several government contracts until then. That was their first local construction contract. Shahram Malekyazdi, and his brother Peter, who were then newcomers to the city, lost money on the project, and the million-dollar job became a comedown for the family.
Shahram and Pete Malek
they never gave up and as contractors, they built malls, airport expansions, viaducts, and hospital wings throughout the 1980s. Finally, Shahram Malekyazdi introduced himself as a Vancouver real estate developer, beginning with a Burnaby apartment tower and a White Rock mall in 1987. His parents moved to Paris in 1989, where Shahram Malek's father, started building suburban apartment complexes.
Once on their own in Vancouver, Peter Malek and Shahram Malekyazdi established a reputation as Vancouver real estate developers who built quality projects. Like so many other developers in Vancouver, they started in the suburbs, Burnaby being one of their preferred sites. |
