Capabilities

01 — Acquisition

Site Identification & Underwriting

MOVA sources sites in established BC growth markets — targeting infill residential opportunities with favourable zoning potential, strong demographic tailwinds, and proximity to employment and transit. Each acquisition is underwritten from first principles, stress-tested across multiple scenarios, and structured for long-term hold from day one.

• Off-market site sourcing and landowner outreach
• Pro forma development with conservative assumptions
• Financing structure and CMHC eligibility assessment
• Due diligence coordination — legal, environmental, geotechnical
• Capital partner structuring and LP/GP alignment

02 — Development

Design & Permitting

MOVA leads the entire pre-construction process — from initial design brief to building permit in hand. We work directly with architects, landscape architects, engineers, and city planners to develop buildings that are functionally excellent, materially distinctive, and approvable within realistic timelines. Design decisions are made early, when they cost nothing to change.

• Architectural design brief and concept development
• Consultant team selection and coordination
• Municipal planning, rezoning, and development permit navigation
• Material palette and interior specifications
• Suite mix optimisation and amenity programming

03 — Construction

Build Management & Oversight

MOVA manages construction with the discipline of a long-term owner — because we are one. We coordinate procurement, manage draw schedules, verify quality at every milestone, and hold contractors to the material and schedule standards established in design. The Hockley (75 suites, $40M) is currently Draw 5 of 18, on schedule.

• General contractor selection and contract negotiation
• Construction draw management and CMHC certification
• Independent quantity surveyor coordination
• Schedule oversight and milestone verification
• Owner-controlled procurement for key material categories

04 — Operations

Asset Management & Leasing

MOVA does not hand off at occupancy. We manage our assets through lease-up, stabilisation, and the long-term operating period — with a focus on NOI growth, resident retention, and capital reinvestment decisions that compound asset value over time. The Arncote has been 100% occupied since completion.

• Lease-up strategy and marketing
• Resident experience and retention programmes
• Ongoing maintenance and capital planning
• NOI tracking and performance reporting to investors
• Long-term asset positioning and disposition optionality
