The old metrics of on-time and on-budget still prevail, but project management and construction have become so much more.

With decades of experience in all areas of real estate development, Canderel is bringing innovation to how we deliver projects for our clients. 

New technologies and materials and the speed at which we share ideas are redefining the blueprint. Building better, smarter buildings and doing so faster while minimizing the environmental impact isn’t just a possibility; it’s our way forward.

Project Management and Construction

Case study

Giant Tiger

Giant Tiger mandated Canderel to lead a new head office project on its 450,000 sf industrial grounds in Ottawa. Addressing the challenge of building on a site with limited available space, Canderel creatively reconfigured an existing facility and orchestrated the demolition of surrounding areas to accommodate the new office tower.

As Giant Tiger’s eyes and ears, we oversaw the entire design and construction process, assembling a team of architects and engineers, along with other specialty consultants. Following successful delivery, Canderel also took on the mandate of property management services for the new headquarters.

Wrapped floor to ceiling in glass, the four-storey office tower consists of two wings connected by an atrium. The new building offers 50,000 sf of usable space, a full-service cafeteria and a workout facility.

Community. Sustainability. Inclusion. 

We embed ESG in our project management and construction services to clients and partners, bringing measurable impact and value enhancement with a focus on key pillars. 

Taking an integrated design approach to limiting climate change and its impacts on buildings and communities. 
Placing inclusion and well-being of building occupants and communities at the centre of all design decisions.
Executing best practices that advance sustainable consumption and efficient resource management through responsible business conduct.
Creating lasting value through meaningful stakeholder engagement and design decisions rooted in sustainability principles—with equal focus on people and the planet.
