The company's story starts with one sentence: it builds leasable space near Power Centres — large retail sites anchored by a major box-store tenant — so that the businesses leasing its buildings can capture the foot traffic, visibility, and access of the anchor. This knowledge base unpacks that sentence. No industry background is needed; professional terms are explained where they appear, and every defined term links to the glossary.

The buildings

The Buildings describes the six development classes — Professional Centres (three to five storeys), Suburban Office (six to fifteen storeys), Retail Select (single storey), Tech Industrial, and the planned Parking Structures and Vertical Warehouses — each designed to a fixed prototype, with the tenants and economics of each class.

How We Build is the design system: buildings designed from the tenant's needs outward, fixed floor plates, and the measurement standards and certifications the buildings are held to.

Architecture and Design Styles surveys the design culture the buildings stand in, from classical to contemporary movements.

The places

How We Choose Sites is the method: the retail anchors, the analysis of who lives and shops nearby, the scoring, and the tests a site must pass before land is bought.

The Markets is the atlas: how places are screened and ranked, the country and tier indices, and a profile page for every market — a growing collection, one article per place.

The Rollout Program is where building is planned next: the intended country-by-country programme across Canada, the United States, Spain, and Mexico, and the registers that track candidate sites through the pipeline. It is a plan, not a promise: locations, counts, and timing are targets and may change.

The context

The Commercial Real Estate Market explains how the market works: rents and building income, values, market cycles, and interest rates.

Why Places Grow covers the city-scale forces behind demand: commuters, the urban fringe, demographics, and parking.

Maps and Data documents the spatial data behind the analysis: sources, coverage, and methods.

Research, glossary, and news

Research holds the flagship research papers — complete, long-form arguments with full citations, published as a small curated set. Glossary defines the terminology. News carries release notes on new datasets and coverage.

Every article is published in English and Spanish. The company-and-money half of the story — who the company is, what you invest in, how the money works, returns, governance, risks, and every company's reports — lives in the companion corporate knowledge base. Together they tell the whole story.
