Yes, absolutely. We’re a full-service builder and include development management as part of our construction fee — no added charge. We work with groups from Ontario and BC regularly. Whether you’re visiting monthly or checking in from across the country, we act as your boots on the ground. You’ll get quick replies, weekly progress updates, and we can manage the whole process for you — from buying the land to handing over the keys.

Honestly, it trips a lot of people up. Technically, a 4-plex is four units side by side. But once you start suited basements, each unit becomes two — and people call that an 8-plex. So, a row of 4 townhomes with basement suites = 8 units = 8-plex. A row without basement suites = 4-plex. The main difference is really just whether the basement is a legal suite or not.

Head over to our Cost to Build page — we break down real numbers, what’s included, and how build costs compare to buying a finished product.

You’ll need about 30% of the total project cost in net worth, which can include equity in homes, RRSPs, TFSAs, investments, even inheritance. The actual cash needed upfront is around $400K. That covers deposits, land down payment, and early supplier payments. Even though CMHC financing only needs a 5%–10% down payment (around $125K–$200K), you need extra liquidity during the build. The good news? Most of that $400K comes back to you during the construction draws — so by the end, you're usually left with just your actual down payment in the deal.

It’s a totally different buyer. Townhomes are for families who want to live in the unit — it’s a retail sale. These 8-plexes are bought by investors, and they’re traded as commercial assets. That means they’re priced based on NOI (Net Operating Income), tenant stability, and cap rates — not price per square foot. Think of it like comparing an apartment building to a condo unit — different world, different math.

You could try to stratify and sell them unit by unit, but most people use CMHC financing, which is designed for rentals and comes with restrictions — like holding it as a full building. Most of our investors choose to keep the whole 8-plex, rent it out, and sell the entire building later for $3.0M–$3.3M. That’s where the real value tends to show up.

It’s all about the ROI. Infill lots may cost a bit more up front, but you get stronger rents because you’re near universities, hospitals, and employment hubs. That means higher-quality tenants, lower vacancy, and stronger long-term returns. About 95% of our clients have chosen inner-city locations for exactly that reason. It’s also the perfect “missing middle” housing model in these areas.

No, you’re not locked in. While most investors use CMHC for the leverage and lower down payment, you can definitely go with traditional financing or even buy with cash. Sometimes it’s even simpler, and you save on some extra admin and fees.

Check out our Gallery, but the short version is: we go one step above builder-grade, and one step below luxury. These are designed for premium rentals — modern finishes that attract great tenants, while staying durable and low-maintenance to protect your cash flow.

Yes, we register every build with the standard Alberta 1-2-5-10 warranty, just like you’d get when buying a new home. We also allow third-party inspections — in fact, we encourage it. Keeps everyone honest. Before handing over the keys, we address all deficiencies, and you get access to our online portal to report anything after possession — and we’re quick to respond.

We keep things transparent, responsive, and investor-focused. Every invoice, every permit, every update — you get full access in a shared Google Drive. We respond to messages fast — like actually fast, not “next day” fast. We push trades, city departments, and suppliers to keep the project moving. And we’re not doing one-off homes and disappearing. We’re here to build long-term relationships, help grow your portfolio, and execute with consistency — deal after deal.
