Investment Approach

Identify & Invest

Identify and invest in quality real estate projects which are strategically positioned to capitalize on local re-gentrification trends and are within a region benefiting from strong economic fundamentals supported by transit infrastructure.

Develop

Redevelop property to create value and maximize equity gains through increasing income, often via increased density, and by reducing future operating costs through smart design.

Manage

Manage assets in a way that will consistently increase valuation to deliver strong ROIs both near and long term.

Katalyst Real Estate Corp. (www.katalyst.ca) is a boutique real estate investment, development and management firm driven by a relentless search for high-yield investment opportunities in multi-residential and mixed-use redevelopment projects. We are headquartered in Toronto and focus our investments in the Greater Toronto Area.

 

Katalyst deploys a hands-on full-cycle approach to real estate investing. We seek out underutilized sites which are strategically positioned to capitalize on local re-gentrification trends supported by strong economic fundamentals. We identify upside potential and create redevelopment plans that push boundaries and generate breakthrough results. We structure these opportunities to attract equity capital from private investors and secure debt financing from our lender-partners. We engage a multitude of professionals from architects to engineers, and work together with the municipality to ensure that our projects will create lasting value in our communities. We are hands on throughout the construction process so we can deliver beautiful spaces that both residents and businesses can call home.

The Katalyst team is a highly skilled and diverse group reflecting the population of the Greater Toronto Area. We have seasoned project and property managers, and office and support staff many of whom are also real estate investors. We pride ourselves on our efficient use of technology in managing our business.

 

From its humble beginnings to its present state, Katalyst has established a proven track record. With our emphasis on creating and maintaining long-term relationships with our lender-partners, investors, real estate and other professionals, we have constructed the way for a future of continued success!
