Tim Banks may not be well-known beyond Prince Edward Island, but he is among Atlantic Canada’s most successful entrepreneurs. His business, APM MacLean, is involved with real estate development, with annual revenues of more than $100 million.
Over his forty-year career, Tim has become the Island’s largest commercial real estate developer. On the latest Insights Podcast, Tim talks about the housing shortage on the Island and some of the impediments limiting developers' ability to provide enough homes, especially within the urban core of Charlottetown where building heights are severely restricted.
He also talks about the time he almost sued the premier, losing workers to the public sector, and his $60 million Blackbush resort development near Grand Tracadie.
