When you talk to Irwin Brar, you don’t just hear about buildings. You hear about people, responsibility, and a long family legacy that started long before he launched his own company. Today, as CEO of Apex Construction and COO of Ridge Apartments, Brar is helping shape the future of affordable housing—one project at a time.

“I never planned on becoming a leader in this space,” he says. “I just followed the work my father taught me. The mission grew from there.”

His path wasn’t traditional, but it built the foundation for the kind of leader he is now—steady, community-focused, and deeply involved in the details of his industry.
