Founded in Calgary, Strategic Group is one of Canada’s largest privately held real estate investment and development firms. The company operates as a fully integrated platform, managing all aspects of its real estate portfolio including ownership, leasing, development, redevelopment, and repurposing. Strategic Group began with a focus on commercial real estate and has since expanded into a diversified portfolio that includes office, retail, and multi-family residential properties. The firm also maintains investments in non-real estate sectors such as construction, building services, oilfield services, hospitality, pet care, agriculture, technology, and corporate finance.
Strategic Group’s investment strategy centers on long-term ownership and recurring revenue generation. The company emphasizes sustainability and value creation through adaptive reuse and redevelopment, often converting underperforming assets into higher-yielding uses. This approach has positioned Strategic Group as a creative and unconventional player in the Canadian real estate market.
The firm’s asset class focus includes office buildings (many of which are BOMA Best certified), retail centers, and multi-family residential properties, primarily located in Calgary and Edmonton. These two cities represent the bulk of Strategic Group’s geographic exposure, with Calgary being the dominant market. This concentration presents some risk, particularly in the face of regional economic fluctuations tied to Alberta’s energy sector.
Tenant concentration data is limited, but the company’s leasing strategy appears diversified across commercial and residential segments. Strategic Group’s top tenants are not publicly disclosed, though its office and retail assets are positioned in high-traffic, amenity-rich areas, suggesting a mix of professional services, retail, and lifestyle brands.
