About Dura Group
Founded in 2011 in Vancouver, Dura Group is a distinguished name in the real estate industry, excelling as a developer, investor, and project manager. From our beginnings in Vancouver’s competitive condominium market, we quickly established a reputation for delivering exceptional projects. Among our early successes was a landmark high-rise condominium in Montreal, developed in partnership with another prominent group, which solidified our presence on both the west and east coasts of Canada.
Building on these achievements, Dura Group expanded its expertise in 2016 by entering the retirement home sector. Collaborating with a Quebec-based developer specializing in retirement communities, we have since jointly developed over 700 units in cities surrounding Montreal and Quebec City. This initiative reflects our commitment to adapting to market demands and exploring diverse real estate opportunities.
Today, Dura Group’s focus is on the dynamic real estate market of British Columbia’s Lower Mainland. We specialize in developing multi-family properties, catering to both rental and market condominium needs. By leveraging our experience and deep understanding of the real estate landscape, Dura Group continues to create innovative, high-quality developments that meet the evolving needs of our communities.
