Where we are investing
Our real estate investments are strategically focused on the corridor between Calgary and Edmonton and currently we have properties in Calgary, Red Deer, Edmonton and Beaumont. This corridor is known for its economic significance, growth potential, and connectivity.
By having properties in these cities, we're strategically positioned to tap into the thriving Alberta real estate market. These cities offer a range of opportunities, from urban centers like Calgary and Edmonton to more suburban settings like Beaumont. This diversified approach will help us capture different market segments and potential tenants.
We expected that this corridor will continues to develop and attract investment because of the strong and diversified economy and steady influx of immigrants and residents from across Canada and the world attracted by the affordability compared to other larges city and for high quality of live.

Types of structure utilized in our Projects.
Joint Venture (JV)
A joint venture is a partnership between two or more parties, each contributing assets, expertise, or capital to a real estate project. The collaboration can maximize resources, spreading the workload, risks, and rewards. JVs are versatile, catering to diverse skills and capital contributions. Partnerships can be project-specific or ongoing, tailored to the goals of the parties involved.
Structured Ownership
Corporate partnerships involve forming a separate legal entity to undertake real estate investments. This structure provides clear ownership divisions and defined roles. Corporate partnerships offer advantages like limited liability and efficient tax management. Decisions are usually made collectively by shareholders, ensuring transparency and accountability.
General Partner (GP) / Limited Partner (LP)
In a GP/LP structure, a general partner (GP) manages the investment, making decisions and overseeing operations. Limited partners (LPs) invest capital but have less control and risk exposure. LPs often contribute funds while GPs provide expertise and management. This structure is common in private equity and real estate funds, allowing for efficient capital mobilization and risk distribution.
Private Lending
Private lending involves borrowing funds from individuals or institutions to finance real estate projects. As a private lender you provide capital to real estate projects without actively participating in management decisions e theirs risks. As financial contributors, you are receiving fixed returns on your investments. This approach suits those who seek exposure to real estate's potential without direct operational involvement.
How you can be part of our Projects
The way that you can participate of our projects, depend on the project. However, there are two distinct roles: equity partners and financial contributors. Each role presents a unique way to engage in our real estate investments projects and both offers great opportunities of return for your money.
Being an equity partner means you hold a stake in the project itself and, depending on the structure of the project, also you shared rewards, responsibilities, and some level of risk.
In the other hand, as a financial contributor your primary focus is on providing essential capital to the project and exchange for a fixed return, but you don't hold ownership in the asset itself. This role frees you from the direct risk exposure that equity partners assume.
