Delivering for Canada.

Three decades of building

Doorway is the Hopewell group's initiative to extend its expertise across the country, drawing on three decades of building since 1990. We aggregate demand, capital and the best construction partners into one programme, built to deliver homes made off site, finished on site, and repeated across provinces, at a cost that holds.

How we build

10,000+

Homes built by Hopewell since 1990

Our thesis

Affordable homes need three things to move at once.

The capital, the methods and the rules all exist; what is missing is a builder that moves them together. Move one and a project stalls on the other two. We work all three at once, so a door that pencils on paper gets built and stays affordable once people live in it.

Our edge

FinancingThe capital stack that lets an affordable door pencil: public programs where they fit, private capital alongside them, an operating model that holds the monthly payment down.
ConstructionHomes made with precision off site and finished quickly on site, by the provincial partners who already build this way at volume.
RegulationThe rules that slow the first two: zoning, permitting, code. We work with the cities and the labs testing better ones.

What is affordability

Affordable to build. Affordable to run. Affordable to live in.

A home costs more than a house: the power bill, the connection, the community around it. We have built homes for thirty years, and for the last decade have actively invested in technology that lowers what a home costs to run.

What affordability means

Built with the best partners, using methods that are the most efficient.
