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 tech and knowledge-based companies 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 10 years of experience, I help companies evaluate their space needs  differently, 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  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.
