up again and the company is in the process of restoring their historical balance. In all sectors, Nick believes what sets MHI apart is their ability to add value to a project. Typically, they do that by being involved and engaging with project stakeholders at a very early stage. “We are very value-driven,” Nick explains. “We want early engagement with clients, consultants and trades so we can drive solutions into the plan from the start.” As an example of how the company does that, Nick points to a three-phase development they are working on with development partner Colonnade Bridgeport and equity partner Myers Automotive Group. That project started with the Granite Curling Club needing a new building. At the same time, they also wanted to leverage the real estate value from their existing property, which was located on Scott Street, on a site situated between a residential neighbourhood, Richmond Road’s arterial shopping network, and the transit corridor to the north. In collaboration with their project partners, MHI was essential in assembling the financing to provide a multi-phase solution for that project. That solution involved relocating the club to a new site within a specified geographical area; designing and building the new Granite Curling Club on that site; and reimagining the Scott Street site as a new transit-oriented multifamily THE CONSTRUCTION SOURCE CANADA
