@lawsonlundell lawsonlundell.com CANADIAN LAW AWARDS 2023 Lawson Lundell congratulates the Molnar Group on their multi-award winning project, Hendry Place. With over 40 members, Lawson Lundell’s Real Estate Group delivers gold standard service to help our clients achieve their desired results, and beyond. A LEGACY BUILT TO LAST. looks after that. That’s helped us to move a lot faster and to avoid the mark-ups that come with working with a third-party builder.” According to Dak, self-performing also enables the company to deliver to a higher level of specification than a lot of their competitors: “We were condo developers prior to getting into rental development, and we still take the condo approach to rentals,” he explains. “We have established a very nice appointed style. We think our buildings just look better than most. We’ve won many design awards over the years that testify to that.” “We never do eight-foot ceilings clear-to-clear,” he adds. “We do nine-foot ceilings clear-to-clear, so buyers have lots of head room. We do really goodsized bedrooms. We provide lots of amenities. We’re known for developing really liveable homes.” “There are a lot of rental developers who just build space. Their homes are tight. There aren’t a lot of windows. There’s not a lot of flair. There are low ceilings so they can stack and pack the units. We definitely don’t do that. We believe in comfort. We want to provide an environment for our tenants where they really feel good. We want them to look forward to coming home at the end of the day.” Once a rental building is delivered and up-andrunning, Molnar Group also does the property management. As a manager, Dak says they are very hands-on and they form personal relationships with their tenants. “We’re also very accountable,” he adds. “We have to be, since we’re self-managers. If something goes wrong, we can’t blame the property manager – because that’s us. The only people we have to blame are ourselves. So we have to be honest and we have to be up-front and available for our tenants, and we definitely are. We’re very diligent about that.” AUGUST 2023
