Hero Mohtadi Hero Mohtadi has more than 20 years of experience in the multi-residential sector across institutional, private, and public platforms in Canada and the U.S. She built her career from the ground up, starting out as a leasing consultant. Because she began in customer-facing roles, Hero developed a strong foundation in service, communication, and resident experience before moving into senior leadership positions that involved overseeing multi-family portfolios in major national markets. Her work has included launching purpose-built rental communities and building and leading high-performing teams. Prior to joining Drake Property Management, she worked with Bentall Kennedy, Hazelview Properties, Timbercreek Properties, and Dream Unlimited. Hero has earned multiple industry accolades, including several FRPO MAC Awards for product, property, and team excellence. In 2024, she received the National Women in Real Estate (WIRE) Award, recognizing her leadership and contributions to the sector. Hero’s involvement in tenant advocacy, industry associations, and community-focused initiatives has further shaped her leadership lens. She serves on the Board of Directors of the Greater Toronto Apartment Association (GTAA) and on the Board of WomanACT, which reinforces her dedication to advancing equity, inclusion, and long-term community building within the housing sector. “What’s driven me throughout my career is building strong, empowered teams and creating operating platforms that are scalable, disciplined, and resident-focused,” said Hero. “Team development, mentorship, and inclusion have always been central to my leadership style. As the market has shifted and vacancy rates tightened, rental demand outpaced new supply, and PBRs began to consistently outperform condos on stability and rent levels, my work increasingly centred on designing platforms that can thrive in a tougher environment, balancing affordability pressures, regulatory complexity, and high resident expectations.”
