Hungerford Properties

Happy Pride Month! 🏳️‍🌈

All through June, we challenged our team to bring the colors of the rainbow to work...and wow, did they show up! We pulled together all their photos into a mosaic that perfectly captures the energy, unity, and beautiful diversity of our team.

For us, Pride Month is a reminder of our ongoing commitment to ensuring Hungerford is a place where everyone feels welcome, supported, and free to be themselves.

A huge thank you to Matthew, who is wrapping up his internship with us this week.

Matthew joined us from Cornell University, where he is studying Environmental Science with minors in Business and Real Estate. Over the last few weeks, he has been a fantastic asset—primarily supporting our Investments team while also collaborating with the Development team to fuel his passion for sustainable real estate development.

Matthew, thank you for your hard work, curiosity, and dedication!

We are proud to announce that Irfan Shariff has stepped into the role of Chief Operating Officer at Hungerford Properties.

During his decade-long tenure, Irfan has played an instrumental role in shaping the growth and evolution of our organization. His leadership across the business has been defined by sound judgement, strong ex*****on, and a thoughtful, steady approach.

I’m grateful for the opportunity to work alongside an exceptional team as we continue building a platform designed to create legacy for the people we invest in and those who invest in us.”

Please join us in congratulating Irfan on this well-deserved promotion.

We are delighted to reveal our new office art installation, created by Carmen Thompson, Tlaa’Kwa Hul’puulth/Copper Moon, a Coast Salish artist. We were honoured to be joined by Carmen, along with her family and community members, to hear the meaning behind the mural and to witness this important work together.

This installation acknowledges the Indigenous Nations whose lands and waters continue to shape the Lower Mainland, and reflects a place of gathering, movement, and exchange that has long been connected by waterways like the Fraser River, Burrard Inlet, and the Salish Sea. Through bold geometric forms and Coast Salish design, the work moves between past and present while centering water as a unifying element. It is also deeply personal, grounded in the artistic teachings of Carmen’s father, master artist Art Thompson, and in the matrilineal teachings of her mother’s Kyuquot lineage. At its heart, the installation speaks to the transmission of story, culture, responsibility, and connection across generations.

We are grateful to Carmen and her family for sharing this work with us, and for reminding us of the importance of carrying these stories forward with care and respect.
