ABOUT US
WE ARE PROPERTY OWNERS. We acquire properties for development, we evaluate what could be and create our vision. We complete exhaustive site analyses, we test financial viability and worthiness, we understand zoning permits and procedures, and we pay careful observance to environmental factors, and guide architectural design. We also monitor all phases of construction, and manage each property we have developed and put our name to. From individual parcels to large-scale malls, Mandevco develops and manages all phases of development. We remain committed to the tenants we secure. We establish a trust and work together on a daily basis.
Mandevco has attracted investors from all over the world who trust in our ability to evaluate potential sites, and to manage the vision, design and construction in bringing promise to fruition. Our portfolio now includes 100 properties, comprising over 1.6 million square feet of retail, office, industrial and residential space throughout Quebec, Ontario and regions of the US.
Our teams are able to cultivate viable residential, commercial and industrial complexes on existing properties, as well as from development sites.
As owners, we strive to project our image through our properties. Each one of us is a walking & talking billboard for what we stand for. Our personal contact with the public, our manners on the telephone, and the communications we send to clients and customers are a reflection not only of ourselves, but also of MANDEVCO’s professionalism.
Meet the Team
Harvey Wolfe, B.Arch. – Chairman
Harvey Wolfe founded Shapiro & Wolfe in 1958 after receiving his Bachelor of Architecture. With their first commercial development project on St. Hubert Street in Montreal some 50 years ago, he recognized a need for hands on, effective and reliable development and management solutions. A firm believer in building strong partnerships and lasting business relationships, Mr. Wolfe found that they were able to fill this need. Since that initial project, the company has developed several hundred thousand square feet of commercial space on and off the island of Montreal, inclusive of enclosed malls such as Quartier Cavendish and close to 100,000 square feet of strip centres on Montreal’s West Island. Mr. Wolfe’s years of experience in architecture, development, construction and finance have been instrumental in forming the thinking and approach Mandevco holds today.
