Philip O’Brien

Mr. O’Brien (Montreal, QC, Canada) is currently an Advisor with Viger DMC in Montreal. He founded Devoncore in 1972 and after more than 30 years of leading the company he is now concentrating his energies in mixed use projects using his experience as a catalyst for creative re-use.

Having initiated Place Mercantile where he got the appetite for doing things differently, he took on the task of putting together what is today the Montreal World Trade Center and Intercontinental Hotel. Currently, his energies are concentrated on the Viger Hotel and Railway Stations that make up what will become the Eastern hub of old Montreal as the World Trade Center became its Western hub.

For his efforts in heritage preservation, Mr. O’Brien was appointed a Member of the Order of Canada in 2001.

Mr. O’Brien has been a director with Homburg Invest Inc. since June 2009 and is Chair of the Governance Committee.
