Real estate development · Montréal
From land to a finished building.
Mina Group works with landowners who want to sell or develop their property. We carry each site through to completion, then decide whether to sell or hold it.
For landowners
Sell us your land, or build it together.
Every transaction is structured around the opportunity, with terms agreed directly between us.
Business model
Five decisions, set deal by deal.
Partner returns are negotiated for each project and never committed in advance.
Land partnerships
Outright purchase, joint venture or revenue share, with terms set for each opportunity.
Funding
Our own equity funds acquisitions and construction. We facilitate financing and arrange debt where it suits the asset.
Exit
Completed buildings are sold or retained, guided by performance and market timing.
Construction
Minaco builds exclusively for the Mina Group portfolio. No third-party construction contracts.
Confidentiality
Confidentiality agreements apply by default, with terms agreed with each partner.
The path
Five stages, one accountable team.
Minaco delivers construction on the projects we own or develop ourselves.
Acquire
Acquire the land outright, or secure it through a partnership with its owner.
Entitle
Secure the zoning, permits and approvals that the intended use and density require.
Develop
Finalize design, financing and budget, and plan the build section by section.
Build
Minaco delivers construction, coordinating procurement and trades throughout.
Own account onlySell or hold
Sell the completed building, or retain it in the rental portfolio.
