About Us

Overview

Springwood group of companies is an Edmonton based real estate development firm focusing on development and long term ownership of commercial real estate in Western Canada. Springwood holds a diverse portfolio of real estate including office, retail, industrial and multi-family assets and continues to actively seek new development opportunities. Springwood is proud to manage 100% of its real estate internally and this portfolio now exceeds 1,500,000 square feet. Over 150 businesses, including national, regional and local companies lease space in Springwood properties.

The company was founded in 1975 by William K. Butler on the fundamentals of creating and maintaining strong relationships with tenants, and financially responsible development; these objectives continue to be paramount within the organization today. The senior management of Springwood boasts over sixty years of real estate development experience. Springwood excels at taking land parcels through the entire development process from acquisition of land, planning and development issues, leasing, finance and construction.

Since 1995, Springwood has focused on large format retail development and the past ten years has seen our attention focused on Cornerstone projects, 30-45 acre Wal-Mart anchored developments in western Canada's growing secondary markets. As of 2009, we have completed ten Cornerstone projects and still maintain ownership in all but three of them, focusing on high quality management.

Property Management Services

Springwood manages 100% of its properties internally to ensure the highest level of management and tenant relations. This enables us to respond to tenant issues in the quickest possible time frame and allows direct feedback from our valued clients - the tenant. In addition to management of the company's own portfolio of income properties, Springwood also provides property management services for our joint venture partners and other owners of commercial and multi-family residential properties.

Joint Ventures

Springwood has been involved in a number of joint venture projects, combining Springwood development skills with clients wishing to acquire equity through a land holding or a tenancy commitment.
