Epoch 1 A Boy & His Dog 1991–1994 In the early 1990s, Eric Carlson founded what is now called Anthem. Armed with a few dollars in his pocket, big dreams and a few investors who believed in his vision, the initial focus was multi-family residential and land acquisitions. In the first three years, he slowly grew the company from start-up mode to a team of 15 people and a portfolio of 10 projects.

Epoch 2 Kicking Ass 1994–1998 The company began to hit its stride as the organization developed and more people joined the team. Its reach expanded to new markets in Colorado, Arizona, Texas, Louisiana, California and Georgia in the United States, as well as farther afield on Canadian soil in Alberta and Ontario. Expanded directions included office, retail and residential home building. The team grew to 45 people.

Epoch 3 Going Public 1998–2004 In March of 1998, Anthem was listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange at a market cap of $100 million. Financial strategy shifted from partnering on individual projects to relying on a public shareholder base. This proved not to be in the best interests of the company, given the vagaries and uncertainties of the stock market. Decisive action was taken, divesting the multifamily model and returning to a private model in May of 2004. The company grew from 45 to 100 people.

Epoch 4 Organizationally Driven 2004–2015 The move back to a private company quickly began paying dividends, with all new business pursued in conjunction with project-specific financing. A number of important projects were undertaken, including Anthem’s first high-rise residential—a key asset class for the future of the company. A shift to an organizationally driven team model, relying on culture and systems to scale the business, proved to be another strong directional move for the company. Weathering the storm of the global financial crisis, Anthem continued to grow its team to 175 and expand its portfolio of projects.
Epoch 5 Matrix Organization 2016–The Future Spurred on by the acquisition of United Communities, Granite Bay Development Communities and Premier United Communities in 2014, Anthem continues to expand the scale and scope of its operations. The team grows to nearly 300, and once again looks to the United States as fertile ground for future developments. With almost $5 billion in combined project value to date, the company now has a portfolio of 10,000 homes in various stages of development, 6.2 million sf of commercial property and over 5,000 acres of land slated for development.
