A Century of real estate development experience in one team
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 80 years of real estate development experience, and is supported by a veteran team of property managers, accountants, and property administrators. Springwood excels at taking land parcels through the entire development process from acquisition of land, planning and development issues, leasing, finance and construction, and ultimately first-class property management of our properties in-house.
Since 1995, Springwood has focused on large format retail development, specifically Cornerstone Shopping Centre projects, such as 30-90 acre Wal-Mart anchored developments in western Canada’s growing secondary markets. We have completed upwards of 11 Cornerstone shopping center projects focused on long-term, high-quality management.
50 Year History
The Springwood group of companies is an Edmonton based real estate development firm focused on development and long term ownership of commercial real estate in Western Canada. Springwood is proud to have constructed over 3,000,000 square feet of first class real estate. This portfolio was managed 100% internally, with critical importance on the relationships we built with over 200 tenant businesses, including national, regional and local companies.
