Belkorp
Belkorp traces its roots to 1948 when Morris Belkin expanded College Printers into Belkin Packaging, Canada’s largest paperboard packaging company at the time. Stuart Belkin, son of the founders, joined full time in 1984 and assumed leadership in 1987. The office continues under family direction with an independent board providing governance oversight. Investment activity centers on three pillars: real estate, wholly owned operating companies and principal investments in public markets. Real estate holdings include Scout and Orion in Seattle, Somerset and The Oaks at Techridge in Austin, plus industrial assets such as Glacier Avenue Industrial and Canoe Avenue Industrial in Coquitlam, British Columbia. Operating businesses encompass Belkorp Ag and Wastech Services Inc. Capital is deployed through direct ownership and SPVs rather than third-party fund commitments. Activity remains concentrated in North America. The team includes Bruno Di Spirito as President and COO, Leanne Moretto as CFO and Trevor Bruno as Chief Legal Officer. Additional offices are not disclosed. Philanthropic vehicles include the Morris and Helen Belkin Foundation and support for the Morris and Helen Belkin Art Gallery. No operational events from the last 24 months appear in public records. Belkorp’s architecture differs from typical family offices through its retention of operating businesses alongside property assets, creating direct control over cash-flow generation and asset management rather than reliance on external managers.
