Our Approach

To achieve our goals, we convert underutilized properties, particularly empty downtown office towers, into multifamily properties.

Through repurposing buildings that can no longer fulfill their intended purpose, prioritizing accessibility, affordability, and sustainability, we strive to develop properties that more effectively meet the needs of individuals and communities. We ensure our developments create positive impact and remain ecologically viable into the future.

Core Values

Affordability

EVERYONE DESERVES A HOME

We intend each of our multifamily buildings to improve housing affordability, attainability, and inclusivity.

Sustainability

HOMES, CITIES, AND PLANET

We aim for our buildings to be socially and ecologically viable and economically sustainable well into the future.

Revitalization

REPURPOSE AND REIMAGINE

We aim to repurpose existing structures through creative solutions that revitalize buildings and communities.

Impact

SEEN, FELT, AND MEASURED

We seek development and design opportunities that tangibly support people, community, and environment.

The Cornerstone

The building’s modernized exterior will include balconies, the first floor will include retail for tenants and for the neighbourhood, and the second floor will be dedicated to a salon coworking space. Floors three through ten will be dedicated to two- and three-bedroom apartments.

Tenants will be close to restaurants, entertainment, grocery, shopping, public transportation, and the Bow River pathway system.

Petro Fina will become a vibrant centre for residents. These residents and their visitors will create foot traffic to nearby businesses, thus aligning with the vision of the city’s Stephen Avenue redesign plan.
