Boardwalk REIT boss started from humble roots

Boardwalk REIT boss Sam Kolias shares the secrets of his commercial real estate success in an interview with Gordon Pitts of The Globe and Mail.
Kolias explains how his Calgary-based REIT, now the largest in the country after launching as a small private firm, helps the homeless, self-regulates its rental rates, and makes philanthropy a regular habit.
I met Kolias way back when through his father-in-law. Kolias struck me then as a very decent person. To get the approval of his no-nonsense father-in-law, he would have to be.
It also helps that he can play pool a little bit; however, that's another story.
