Bio
BANC Group of Companies was founded in 1998 by Besim Halef, when he started BANC Metals. Although Besim originally started in the steel fabrication industry and helmed the substantial growth of the company that had up to 600 employees at its peak, Besim gradually moved more and more into land development over time with the addition of subsidiary BANC Properties, and then BANC Developments after that. It wasn’t long before Besim made a name for himself within the Halifax landscape. Several of his noteworthy land developments include: Bedford Commons, Mount Royale Subdivision, The Trinity Harborview Development Project, Rockingham South, Kelly Crossing, and the ever-expanding Bayers Lake business parks are home to thousands of residents and businesses.
