What We Offer
DEVELOPMENT MANAGEMENT
HAVN has assembled an international team of professionals with over 30+ years of local and international experience in design, development, marketing, sales, procurement and construction. We specialize in the complex urban development of condominiums, purpose-built rentals and mixed-use developments. Our team of professionals has been responsible for some of Vancouver's most notable developments.
LOCAL EXPERTISE
Real estate development in Vancouver is a highly localized business; we are experts in every market we build in. Raised and seasoned in the lower mainland development industry, we excel in delivering financially successful projects while giving back to the communities we build in.
DESIGN DRIVEN
Compelling design and building vibrant communities are at the heart of every HAVN development project. We believe good design is not an accident but a choice and something to strive for. We harness top local and international talent to create spaces that add value to the daily experience and inspire people to live their best life. Our team motto is; if we cannot see ourselves living in one of our projects, the work isn’t done.
INVESTOR CENTRIC
At HAVN, we value trust and transparency above all else. Our commitment to these values inspires us to work as hard for our investors as we do ourselves. We are driven by the understanding that our success depends on continued confidence in our performance and investor relationships.
