Our
vision
To build a future that is respectful of the environment and where our living spaces bring generations together.
Our
mission
To create communities by building living spaces that foster happiness, sharing and bringing people together.
Our
Values
RESPECT
Our greatest strength is seeing the world through the eyes of our residents and employees. We recognize that small gestures and considerations can make major differences in their lives.
Their well-being is our priority. The focus is thus on respect for their individual personalities, differences, and for the environment in which they live and evolve.
CREATIVITY
Our passion for creating and reinventing living spaces is part of our DNA. Continuing to grow by innovating in order to offer the best possible experiences to our residents and employees is our core mission.
Each day we cast a new and bold look at our practices. This is the driving force of our creativity.
ENERGY
We focus on energy, “joie de vivre” and attitude, not on age. We are “hyperactive” in the sense that we make things happen and are always inspired by creating the best possible environments for our residents.
In short, we are passionate and our love for real estate stems from the happiness that it brings our residents.
TRUST
Our confidence in our ability to change lives and belief in our peers are the foundation of what we are. We have good hearts and we remain true to our values and authentic in all our initiatives.
That is why the communities that we create are characterized by openness and respect. Our greatest reward? That our residents feel at home.
