We maintain strong relationships with a network of 75+ lenders (including MICs, non-bank financial institutions, banks and credit unions, private lenders, life insurance companies, and trustees) alongside relationships with Canada’s leading developers, private investors, and construction professionals. This differentiated network powers a robust and distinctive deal-flow pipeline.

- Geographic focus: Primary and secondary markets in British Columbia, Ontario, Alberta, and Quebec, in municipalities with a population greater than 100,000.
