Q&A
Oben Group is a vertically-integrated developer, builder, manager, and owner of real estate. With an integrated team handling everything from development to construction to property management, we offer a seamless experience for our clients and investors. We go beyond just completing a “project” to building trusted relationships and long-lasting value optimized for the desired outcome of project stakeholders. Importantly, our integration across construction and operations provides a virtuous feedback loop allowing us to recognize and respond to changing market dynamics and trends before our competitors.
Quality is at the heart of everything we do. Our in-house teams handle each phase of development, which allows us to maintain strict oversight, ensure consistency, and stay aligned with our high standards. From design to construction and property management, we ensure that every aspect of our projects is executed with precision and care. This integrated approach helps maintain high-quality outcomes throughout the lifecycle of each development.
Oben Group specializes in residential, medical, and commercial real estate projects. Whether we’re developing high-performing rental communities, transforming medical facilities, or delivering modern mixed-use developments, each project is approached with the same level of creativity, financial discipline, and focus on long-term value. We have a strong track record in both residential and healthcare spaces, making us a versatile and trusted partner.

We provide this scope fee-for-service, or as a co-developer.
Yes, Oben Build provides third-party construction management and general contractor services. We self-perform construction, ensuring a single point of accountability for your project. We will happily work with you on the appropriate relationship and construction contractor to suit your goals, priorities, and risk tolerance (fee for service or lump sum). As a real estate developer and owner, we bring a holistic and full life-cycle approach to construction, optimizing your build for success.
Yes, Oben Group provides third-party asset management services for family offices, HNW individuals, and smaller institutions. Our current asset management portfolio includes industrial, retail, and multi-family assets across Southern Ontario. Our focus is on additive and proactive asset management, identifying opportunities for repositioning and intensification that goes far beyond ‘submitting a development application’ and captures the realities of tenant covenants, parking requirements, and optimizing synergies.
Designing for the future is integral to Oben Group’s philosophy. We integrate energy-efficient designs, eco-friendly building materials, and sustainable construction practices to minimize environmental impact while maximizing value for our clients and communities.
Our in-house construction team works closely with development and management teams to maintain tight control over schedules and budgets. By managing all aspects of the project internally, we’re able to streamline processes, identify potential challenges early, and adapt quickly to changing circumstances. Our approach focuses on transparent communication, clear expectations, and consistent monitoring, ensuring that projects are completed on time, within budget, and to the highest standards.
Clients can expect a collaborative, transparent, and adaptive approach to real estate development. We take the time to understand their needs, provide strategic insights, and maintain clear communication throughout the entire process. At Oben, we view every project as a partnership, working together to ensure that the vision comes to life and delivers lasting value. Our team is committed to building long-term relationships with clients, investors, and stakeholders, ensuring that every project is a success—today and in the future.
The definition of success is not universal, and the same holds true for what makes a successful real estate project. We will invest significant time understanding the desired outcomes of each stakeholder in a project, allowing us to develop the optimized strategy that will be unique to each opportunity. This applies to both qualitative and financial metrics, as well as the quantitative goals of how an owner wants a project to look and feel for its tenants, clients, and other stakeholders.
