Renascence Developments Corporation was established in 2005 when a group of executives in the multifamily development market came together with a shared vision for the future.

Even though all members have achieved a high level of success in the multi family arena, they felt that they could contribute more to the industry by collaborating and sharing their passion and ideas to provide a more affordable product with a higher level of customer satisfaction and customer service than ever before seen in the Calgary marketplace.

Having so many years experience in the industry, the members of Renascence Developments have first hand experience working with conceptual design, financing, management, leadership, planning, construction and land development. This knowledge has allowed Renascence Developments to surround itself with the best of the best in the industry. 

When choosing Renascence Developments partners we approached only those people whom we know share the same drive and work ethic as ourselves. This has allowed consistency in direction resulting in efficiencies in all faucets of the organization. This benefits our customers by translating to an end product that allows pride of ownership at an affordable price.
