“Our passion has always been
what drives us forward,” says
Nick Bray, co-founder of the
company. “Everyone we work
with is highly skilled and highly
motivated, and everyone is fo-
cused on doing the right thing –
the right thing for the client, the
project, and the environment.
That’s always been what mat-
ters to us.”
Nick, the Director of Design,
founded Project Mint Develop-
ments with Babak Nikraftar, the
Director of Construction. Both
bring almost two decades of in-
ternational experience to their
respective roles.
Nick, for example, is a ful-
ly qualified architect and has
been working in practice since
2001. Prior to moving to Van-
couver in 2010, he was involved
in a number of high-profile and
award-winning designs in the
United Kingdom, many of them
environmentally
sustainable
and technically innovative. Fol-
lowing his move to Canada, he
continued that streak, working
on projects such as the O’Siyam
Pavilion in Squamish, the Bar-
row Street light-industrial com-
plex in North Vancouver, and
the mid-rise InGastown apart-
ment building in downtown
Vancouver.
Babak, meanwhile, has been
working in the Vancouver con-
struction and property develop-
ment sector for 18 years now.
