Minkids Group owns and develops real estate in Canada and Eastern Europe.
In Canada, with a focus on Southern-Ontario, we are active in acquiring, entitling, developing and building multi-unit residential, mixed-use sites and projects, as well as commercial shopping centres and single-family homes.
Across the Baltics, through a partnership with a local developer, we develop shopping centres for international and select domestic retailers.
We leverage the extensive experience and industry relationships of our in-house real estate development team and our company principals to source, underwrite, negotiate and structure real estate deals in key target markets. These deals are then taken through the approvals process and development cycle in-house or through one of our best-in-class development partners, with Minkids Group providing active and diligent oversight and investor reporting throughout.
We retain consultant partners that are vastly experienced and innovative Canadian firms, aimed at identifying and mitigating potential risks and hurdles, and programming projects that are desirable, economically viable and responsive to market needs.
Our points of differentiation include divergent thinking, data-driven and agile decision making and deep connections with trusted real estate partners with a proven track record of successful exits.
