Currently, Broadstreet Properties houses over 23,000 residents across 31 cities across Canada, while Seymour Pacific Developments operates with annual construction budgets of over $350 million. The company also owns a golf course and is in the process of opening a new hotel and launching a new hotel brand. Through this growth, the company has always retained its family values, entrepreneurial spirit, and focus on integrity, innovation and quality and has recently transitioned to its next generation of leadership.
