Blake Wilson is a visionary leader in real estate, finance, and development, renowned for transforming ambitious ideas into tangible successes. As the President & CEO of HarbourTown Group, Blake has been instrumental in evolving a specialized mortgage brokerage into Atlantic Canada’s premier full-service real estate advisory firm.
Under Blake’s leadership, HarbourTown Group offers a comprehensive suite of services, including financing, development management, construction, capital investment, and advisory services. This integrated approach ensures clients receive tailored solutions that maximize value at every stage of the real estate lifecycle. Blake's ability to anticipate market shifts, structure innovative deals, and assemble high-performing teams has been pivotal in the firm's success.
Blake's dedication extends beyond the boardroom into impactful philanthropic endeavors. His commitment to social responsibility is exemplified by his participation in the Leukemia & Lymphoma Society of Canada’s (LLSC) Visionaries of the Year campaign—a dynamic 10-week philanthropic competition that unites top leaders across Canada to raise funds for blood cancer research and patient services. This initiative not only elevates participants' professional profiles but also makes a profound difference for those affected by blood cancer.
Blake's decision to engage in the Visionaries of the Year campaign is deeply personal. He was honored to be nominated by Ryan Smith, a longtime friend and colleague, whose recognition of Blake's leadership and commitment to making a difference resonated profoundly. This nomination provided Blake with a meaningful opportunity to channel his vision-driven approach toward a cause that aligns with his values.
The campaign holds special significance for Blake, as he dedicates his fundraising efforts to the memory of his business partner and friend Brendan's mother, who bravely battled blood cancer. This personal connection fuels Blake's determination to contribute to advancements in research and support for those affected by the disease.
