Progressive Real Estate Group is a verticallyintegrated, Winnipeg-based company that operates as a developer, general contractor, and property manager. Collectively, their focus is delivering high-quality multi-family apartments, commercial spaces, and mini-subdivisions. On every project, they strive to incorporate timeless design, functionality, and environmental sustainability, always in an effort to create superior value for their clients. According to Geoff Milnes, founder and president, the company is able to consistently achieve their goals largely due to their vertical integration: “Embracing our vertical integration model is the cornerstone of our commitment to optimizing every facet involved in the development and management of our multi-family and commercial assets,” Geoff explains. “Acting as the developer, general contractor, and property manager provides the flexibility needed to stay ahead in a dynamic industry.” “This coordination leads to streamlined operations, improved efficiency, and faster decision-making, ultimately contributing to timely project completion,” he continues. “This model not only bestows upon us a unique competitive advantage but, more importantly, allows us to deliver an enhanced living experience to our residents and maximize returns for our valued investors.” Geoff first founded Progressive Real Estate Group in 2009 alongside a business partner. In the early years, they focused on buying derelict single-family homes, renovating them, and then either selling them or renting them. When they started, Geoff and his partner did most of the construction work themselves but as the business grew they started developing relationships with trades. Eventually, they came across a house with some “bonus land” next door, and rather than selling the land off they decided to build their first JULY 2024
