A family committed to revitalization.
Gather Co. was built on the idea that meaningful spaces bring people together. As a family-owned and operated company, we thoughtfully restore historic buildings, balancing their original character with the needs of today. Every project reflects our family's commitment to quality craftsmanship, thoughtful design, and creating places that have a lasting impact on the communities they call home.
Our story.
For more than two decades, Kelly Pope has been dedicated to breathing new life into some of Edmonton's most historic buildings. With a passion for preserving architectural character and unlocking the potential of overlooked spaces, he has helped transform downtown properties into vibrant places where businesses, entrepreneurs, and communities can thrive.
Since founding Gather Co. in 1998, Kelly has taken a hands-on approach to every stage of the process—from acquisition and restoration to long-term ownership and management. His philosophy has always been that great real estate is about more than the buildings themselves. It's about creating places with purpose, supporting local businesses, and investing in the long-term success of the neighbourhoods they call home.
Today, that vision continues alongside his children, Devin and Lara, as Gather Co. carries forward its commitment to thoughtful revitalization, lasting relationships, and community-first development.
Meet the family.
Kelly Pope
Founder & Partner
Kelly has spent more than 30 years working in downtown Edmonton real estate, with a particular passion for giving historic buildings new life. Over the years, he has played a significant role in the revitalization of properties throughout the downtown core. That same belief in the potential of Edmonton’s historic spaces continues to shape Gather Co. today.
Devin Pope
Partner
Devin grew up alongside the family business, working with his father, Kelly, from an early age. Over the years, Kelly’s passion for revitalizing downtown Edmonton became one they shared. Today, Devin works alongside Kelly across Gather Co.’s properties, helping carry that vision forward while shaping what comes next for the family business.
Lara Pope
Leasing & Operations Manager
Lara joined the family business in 2020 and has become a key part of its day-to-day operations. She leads property tours, connects with prospective tenants, and stays closely connected with the community once they’ve moved in. Whether you’re looking for a new space or already call one of our buildings home, Lara is often the person you’ll hear from.
Let’s build something that lasts.
