Joint Ventures and Third Party

Opus benefits from long running partnerships with several institutions, high net worth individuals and offshore investors. These relationships enable us to fund deals outside of the Fiera Real Estate fund mandates and the company has been extremely successful in becoming a developer of choice for many of the institutions.

Throughout the development process I have always found Opus to be professional, attentive and responsive and always focussed on high quality outcomes for the occupier. Not only are Opus passionate about what they do but also how they do it which is  important for lasting success and trust.
