Haven is not just a building—it's a product. Designed as a scalable, pre-engineered system, the Haven platform allows for rapid adaptation to different urban sites while maintaining design excellence and code compliance. The use of design-for-manufacture principles and an integrated team approach means less time spent redesigning, and more time delivering housing that works. Our feasibility tools make early-stage analysis fast and accurate, helping partners determine site fit and project viability in days, not months.

​Haven avoids the largest cost drivers of traditional housing development by repurposing existing buildings and eliminating the need for excavation, shoring, site servicing, and foundational construction. Combined with reduced general conditions and a shortened construction schedule, the financial efficiency compounds. We also unlock access to low-carbon financing from the Canada Infrastructure Bank and CMHC, and secure savings through development charge reductions, HST exemptions, and attainable housing incentives—savings that flow through to project partners and ultimately to tenants.

Traditional builds can take five or more years to go from design to occupancy. Haven is designed to break that cycle. With a pre-assembled team, a fully integrated project delivery (IPD) model, and a productized design that moves from 100% Design Development to Issued for Construction in a fraction of the time, we dramatically compress timelines. Our mass timber system and DFMA approach further reduce time on site—eliminating the deep excavation and long lead times of conventional builds.

Vacant and underperforming office buildings are dragging down neighbourhood vitality—but Haven gives them a second life. By adding purpose-built housing and delivering a new revenue stream, we enable the revitalization of commercial properties that would otherwise be too costly to convert or demolish. Haven not only transforms the building—it reactivates the street and helps bring economic and social vibrancy back to urban neighbourhoods in need of renewal.

Because Haven is faster and more cost effective to build, it’s also more affordable. Our ability to replicate core systems, reduce soft costs, and shrink the delivery schedule enables real savings. These efficiencies make it possible to offer high-performance rental housing at rates that are far more accessible—without compromising on sustainability or design.

​Haven meets and exceeds the most rigorous sustainability standards in Canada, including Passive House Canada and Toronto Green Standard Tier 4. Our high-performance envelope, next-gen mechanical systems, and a hybrid photovoltaic-green roof work together to reduce operational energy, emissions, and costs. The result is a resilient building with low Thermal Energy Demand Intensity (TEDI), low Energy Use Intensity (EUI) exceptional tenant comfort, and future-proofed systems that minimize exposure to regulatory and energy price volatility.
