About Us

Since 1951, Qualico has grown from a small residential developer to one of the largest privately held development companies in western Canada. As part of Qualico, a fully-integrated real estate company with seven decades of experience, we work alongside experts in community building, home and multifamily builders, and manufacturers of building materials. Together, we’re able to integrate our properties into the communities we build and collaborate to increase the density around our sites.

Through it all, we prioritize the people who use our spaces, whether they’re customers, or people collaborating in an office setting. We consider their aspirations and strive to improve their overall experiences. Through the lenses of development (what we build), leasing (who we invite into our sites), and property management (how we support our tenants) we work alongside the rest of Qualico to build a better city: one that facilitates connections and brings people together.
