the office space. Kate describes the finished result as “stunning” and Geoff calls it “awesome.” More recently, the company also Group completed the second phase of their Parkview Terrace apartment complex, which will be their largest project to date with an ultimate unit count of over 400. Phases three and four of that project are underway right now. Beyond that, Progressive Real Estate Group has a lot of land holdings and thus “a lot of stuff coming up.” “When I look at my development board, I see that we have over 600 units that we’re projected to build in the next four-to-five years,” Geoff says. “Our future looks very bright. We have a lot of stuff in the pipeline. A lot of it is our own and some of it is for others.” In order to deliver all those units, Kate says Progressive Real Estate Group will grow, but in a careful and considered way. She says they have so far been “really cautious” about growing the company to date in order to avoid burning out their staff and potentially compromising quality, but they are now looking to expand their team. “I think staying somewhere between 20-to-30 people is a nice spot,” she says. “At that size, everyone still knows everyone. You can maintain a family atmosphere. That’s what we want to do.” Lastly, Geoff says that no matter how big the company grows, they want to continue innovating. He believes that’s been a major driver of their success and he wants to see that continue: “We’re always looking for better ways to do things,” he says. “We’re not satisfied with the status quo. We’re looking for new opportunities all the time. For example, we were probably one of the first companies to adopt a resident portal, where the resident could log in and book everything from an elevator to a multi-purpose room to a repair call. We did that in order to improve our tenant experience. We were also one of the first energysmart builders in the province. We did that to reduce our carbon footprint and environmental impact.” “We want to continue being the first at things, and we want to continue delivering really high quality results for our clients,” he concludes. “We’re a young, energetic, innovative group and we want to do work that shows that.” COMMERCIAL INDUSTRIAL DESIGN BUILD TECHNICAL 1320 Loudoun Rd, Winnipeg, R3S 1A4 204-896-3446 office@powertec.ca powertec.ca NOVEMBER 2025
