Graham Gooch

President at Ayrshire Group

Speaker

Graham is President of Ayrshire (“Air-Shire”), a Calgary-based private equity firm with Scottish roots investing in real property and related operating businesses. Founded in the late 1990s as a family office for its Executive Chairman — co-founder of ARC Financial — the firm’s leadership team has collectively transacted, developed, or managed over $10 billion in real estate assets and acted as principals or advisers on over $10 billion in corporate transactions and investments during their careers. Ayrshire is generally asset-class agnostic and seeks to deploy capital with strong partners where risk is misunderstood or mispriced, and where its team’s expertise can unlock value. A key investment theme for Ayrshire is delivering practical solutions to Canada’s housing and affordability crisis through its Housing Impact Funds. As a vertically integrated developer, contractor, and steel supplier, Ayrshire partners with municipalities, non-profits, and community stakeholders to create new housing supply with tangible community benefits — reflecting its mission to integrate profit with purpose and elevate housing as an asset class benefiting both investors and our communities.
