Strategies

Development

QuadReal is committed to a prudent development program to advance returns and grow its business.

As an active real estate investment company with strong development capabilities, we ensure a thoughtful alignment between local market conditions, planning and development. We realize our long-term vision, which is focused on rigorous and responsible execution, by offering full services in Canada and working closely with our programmatic joint venture partners and operating companies abroad. 

Above all, we believe in value creation through a development pipeline that emphasizes active, local management and community engagement, which ensures we leave a lasting, positive social and environmental legacy.

Shaping Our Communities

Through our development program, we are committed to creating vibrant communities for generations to come. Whether it’s a state-of-the-art industrial facility or a well-planned community, we take pride in delivering projects that enrich the places where people live, work and play. Hear from our Development team about how we approach every project.

Our Approach

We plan for the long term, emphasizing quality and resilience, with a development strategy that identifies opportunities within the existing portfolio and through future acquisitions.

Our strategy centres on rigorous and responsible execution, focusing on transit-oriented, urban, and mixed-use densification opportunities—as well as targeted industrial and residential projects—designed to perform well through all economic cycles.

We approach project development with three guiding principles:

  • Ensure the entire portfolio is responsive to demographic and market conditions
  • Leverage an approach that is respectful of local communities and neighbourhood
  • Partner with organizations that have a collaborative, team-based approach and value longer-term relationships

Community Building

We take active responsibility, supporting the vitality of our communities. Together with our local teams and partners, we work to integrate an emerging approach that measures our social impact through actions such as charitable giving, local engagement and more.

  • “QuadReal’s development program is a great example of what we are capable of—as a leading developer and community partner. With a five-year global development pipeline valued at over $20 billion, we are delivering on our areas of conviction and enhancing the lives of the people we serve.”
