Construction on that project is not set to commence immediately, however, as there are currently a lot of market uncertainties due to factors like tariffs and the fluctuating costs of materials. Bill wants to be sure that “if we’re going to start, we’re going to finish it.” “One word I always use in conversations with my trades my staff is ‘finitiative,’” Bill explains. “Whatever we initiate, we have to finish. That word seems to be spreading around Ottawa, and I like it a lot. Because you can have all the initiative you want, but if you don’t finish, it’s useless. Finishing is what’s important.” As that project nears commencement, Golpro Holdings intends to stay busy. Over the next three to five years, their goal is to continue acquiring properties that fit their criteria, continue to improve the numbers of their existing portfolio, and to continue growing the construction management side of the company, which is thriving. The company’s vision also includes expanding the expertise and capabilities of their staff – right now, Bill says they are paying for some junior staff members to take courses with the Real Estate Institute of Canada and the Institute of Real Estate Management (IREM) in Chicago, so they will one day be capable of expanding their authority and career in real estate. “We’re really proud of the work we do and the reputation we’ve built for providing really great tenant experiences,” Bill says. “We hope to keep providing those experiences for many years to come.” SEPTEMBER 2025 halpenny.com (613) 722-7626 | info@halpenny.com Insurance - Benefits - Consulting Trusted insurance specialists providing customized risk management and insurance solutions since 1912.
