President @Western Vertical
Calgary, FR
I lead Western Vertical, a boutique development management firm focused exclusively on helping owners maximize outcomes on complex multifamily and mixed-use real estate projects across Western Canada.We act as an extension of ownership — providing senior, owner-side leadership to guide projects from early feasibility through design, approvals, construction, and stabilization. Our work is grounded in institutional-grade financial analysis, rigorous risk management, and hands-on execution.Western Vertical specializes in multifamily, mixed-use, and adaptive reuse developments, including both market and affordable housing. With experience managing over $6.3 billion in multifamily and mixed-use projects, our team brings the systems, insight, and relationships required to simplify complexity and deliver results at scale.Owners engage us when execution risk is high, internal capacity is limited, or decisions need to be anchored to clear financial outcomes. We lead projects end-to-end or step in at critical inflection points to stabilize scope, schedule, and budget — always with a focus on protecting capital and improving decision-making.

ABOUT PAUL GEDYE
As President of Western Vertical, I lead a boutique development management firm providing senior, owner-side leadership on complex multifamily and mixed-use projects across Western Canada. I bring over 20 years of experience delivering institutional-scale developments — from early feasibility and approvals through construction and stabilization.My work focuses on supporting developers, investors, and housing organizations on projects where execution risk is high, internal capacity is limited, or decisions must be anchored to clear financial outcomes. I’m often engaged to guide projects end-to-end or to step in at critical inflection points to help stabilize scope, schedule, and budget.Prior to founding Western Vertical, I held senior development roles at institutional real estate firms, overseeing billions of dollars of development value across residential, hospitality, and mixed-use projects.In parallel with my professional work, I’ve served on the Calgary Planning Commission and the Calgary Subdivision and Development Appeals Board, and I am currently Chair of the Urban Land Institute Alberta, bringing a practical understanding of municipal approvals and city-building from both public and private perspectives.My approach is pragmatic, financially grounded, and owner-focused, with an emphasis on clear decision-making, disciplined risk management, and execution.
