Welcome Mike Helm, President and CEO
May 20, 2025
The University of Alberta Properties Trust (UAPT) is excited to welcome Mike Helm as our new President and Chief Executive Officer, effective May 22, 2025! A proud University of Alberta (UA) alumnus, Mike brings two decades of experience in the Canadian commercial real estate sector. His strong foundation in finance and investment strategy will bring a world of opportunity for the development and direction of UAPT’s future.
Holding a Bachelor of Commerce in Finance from the University of Alberta, Mike has also earned both the AACI and CCIM designations that reflect his deep expertise and commitment to this industry. Throughout his career, he has also built trusted relationships across the Canadian real estate landscape. His added background in market intelligence, financial analysis, and portfolio strategy will be invaluable as we continue to grow while also stewarding the University’s land assets with passion, purpose and care.
Most recently, Mike led a national investment platform at Altus Group. He directly oversaw the performance for some of the country’s largest institutional real estate portfolios. This included guiding teams through dynamic market conditions while aligning business operations with a focus on long-term goals, delivering results with both clarity and confidence.
Mike is also no stranger to the UA landscape. In a previous role, he directly oversaw all aspects of the University’s real estate portfolio which played a key part in shaping land and asset management strategies while supporting several major initiatives at the same time.

Is that on the site of the old Home Economics building?

^ I don't think so. My recollection is the old Home Economics building was directly east of this building. I am pretty sure the Education library was once in this building.

^ Yes, that was the Coutts (Education) library until it was closed maybe ~5 years ago. Good to see them at least repurposing the space for something positive.

There was a lot of excavation in the lower floor area. There will be a large clear story area as well.

How is it that in 2025 we are still building barely “walkable” strip mall centres with massive parking lots? Nasty.

Looks like a shit ton of housing units so for those of you who compare it to somewhere in YYC called “University City?” Hopefully this quells any more comparison convos…

It's almost as walkable isn't a concern for most people and just those stuck in their own little bubble...

Sure….it looks fine but for Jeebus sakes….ours has barely broken ground yet…..can we give it 6-7 yrs akin to your beloved YYC? Why not compare it to the tons upon tons of development going on in Griesbach and Centre In The Park in SP….thats apples to apples
