Alain Rivère

As Vice President of The High Technology Facility Group (The HTFG) I provide tailored commercial real estate advice for Vancouver’s most innovative companies, and landlords, for both lease and sale transactions.

I love what I do as it brings together many of my biggest passions: real estate – architecture and design, entrepreneurship, technology, innovation, and people. Over the past few years, I’ve had the privilege of working with amazing people and businesses to help them find the perfect “workspace” and take their business to the next level. Trust, creativity, and commitment are at the heart of what I do, and this resonates with my clients.

As a seasoned advisor with 11 years of experience, I help companies evaluate their space needs holistically, to ensure all variables are considered when tailoring their unique real estate strategy. Whether it’s maximizing collaboration and innovation space, attracting talent, lease flexibility, employee wellness, or showcasing company culture, we design leases that align with each client’s unique goals – because lease contracts can be rigid, but a business needs are not. With today’s economy and workplace needs constantly evolving, making the ‘optimal’ office decision has never been more riddled with questions, which I am here to help clients answer.

Out of the office, you can find me on the ski slopes, surfing or kite-surfing on BC’s west coast, travelling, shooting hoops, or cruising the seawall. Being by the water or mountains gives me a chance to relax and recharge.
