All the best, The Editorial Team We will keep adding business units that enhance our offering and separate us from our competition. “ ” Editor From The Dear Reader, Welcome to the latest issue of Construction Source Canada, the magazine that highlights the best in building and building products across the country. This time out, we’ve taken a look at a wide variety of industry players – we talked to leading-edge custom homebuilders, real estate development and management companies, architects, boring service providers, glass service providers, designers and implementers of building control systems, and a whole lot more specialty contractors and suppliers spanning the breadth of the construction spectrum. Camargue Properties, the company on our cover, is an example of a cutting-edge real estate investment and management company. They are one of the six family-owned companies that make up Groupe Denux, a business that oversees a portfolio of residential, office, and commercial buildings in “some of the most awesome places in the world,” according to Robin Kelley, managing director and partner of Carmargue Properties. We spoke with Robin about some of those buildings and awesome places. In particular, we highlighted their recent work on ‘Salish Sands’, a luxury apartment project in Parksville, British Columbia. In a challenging market, they had all the units there rented out before the first move-in. We talked to Robin about what powered that success. Alton Tangedal Architect, meanwhile, is a Regina-based architectural firm that takes on custom residential and commercial projects spanning across Saskatchewan. The firm was formed almost 30 years ago by veteran architect Alton Tangedal. Alton is still involved with the company, but in recent years taken a step back to let a new group of partners take the reins. We talked to Kyle Culbertson, one of those partners, about the vision of the new leaders and how they intend to honour the beliefs and values the firm was founded on. We also talked about some of the recent projects that demonstrate those founding values – a diverse list that includes a multi-family building, a commercial retail centre, and an interior development for a marketing agency. Then there’s Eco Architectural Glass – they are a company that specializes in residential, commercial and custom glass services, and which has been serving customers across Southwestern Ontario for over a decade. In the past few years, they have grown at a rapid pace. To learn their story, we caught up with Jeff Legge, the company’s vice president of business development. He talked about their recent growth and what has driven it. He also discussed their plans for future growth, including more offices across Ontario, and more involvement in large and complex projects along the lines of their recent work at Western University’s Entrepreneurship & Innovation Centre. For those stories – and a lot more like them, about more industry leaders across the construction spectrum – just keep reading.
