APRIL 2025 from residents’ families, and from our provincial and lender partners.” As they evaluate prospective clients, Kunal says they are looking for clients who share their values and their objectives. “It’s just like with our trade partners – we’re looking for people who want to develop nice buildings and people who care about the community,” Kunal explains. “Seniors are a growing population, and they need somewhere they can be comfortable and safe. If they can’t be at home, we want them to be able to go to a nice facility that’s a home away from home. We want to make sure our partners have that same intention and the same vision.” If they can find clients like that, Kunal says the company will likely grow to accommodate their increased workload. In the meantime, as long as they are only building for AgeCare, Kunal believes they are about the right size. They currently have about 50 employees and the company is happy with that number. They see a lot of advantages in being on the “a small-to-medium sized business,” in terms of how quickly they can move and how responsive they can be, and they want to retain those advantages. Ultimately, whether they grow or not, Kunal says Hestia’s vision is to cement their reputation as “industry leaders in developing social infrastructure,” being experts in the seniors housing and rental housing space. “We know how to design and we know how to build,” Kunal concludes. “We’re efficient. We’re cost-effective. We’re always on schedule. We have everything it takes to be leaders and we believe people are going to keep taking notice.”
