The BC real estate and housing market is facing a large number of complicated challenges, but if you look closely there is an emerging cluster of innovation with great opportunity, complete with the strong support of local stakeholders and an entrepreneurial fabric woven deeply in the community. At R-LABS, we recognize the vital role of venture building in delivering industry innovation and the deep need of industry partnerships to bring ventures to fruition. Last month, key partner members, industry experts and respected innovators and entrepreneurs alike, came together in Vancouver to join us for an outstanding R-LABS expansion event. We were met with resounding support and enthusiasm as we proudly announced the expansion of the R-LABS platform into the BC market and introduced our partnership with two foremost companies in real estate and housing on the West Coast, LandSure and rennie.
Approximately 60% of the real estate value in Canada is coming out of Ontario and British Columbia. The opening of our new R-LABS downtown Vancouver office, and our partnership with rennie and LandSure, further enable us to activate industry innovation in BC and encourage the regeneration of the region. rennie has been providing real estate advisory services and support in British Columbia for more than 40 years, bringing expert knowledge, trusted experience and a uniquely human approach to their real estate practice. LandSure Systems, a subsidiary of the Land Title and Survey Authority of BC, develops and operates LTSA’s mission-critical technology to enable land-related transactions that provides the foundation for all property business and ownership in the province. Through our partnerships with valued companies, like LandSure and rennie, we increase our ability to build ventures locally that innovate to solve problems in real estate and housing.
Real estate and housing are at a complicated and critical juncture across the nation and governments need help. Industry innovation and venture building are no longer a luxury, they are a necessity, and are highly effective ways to deliver both a return on society and a return on investment. Where corporations partner with small entrepreneurial teams in new technology established business models, designed specifically to solve key problems in real estate, that are proven locally as well as scaled globally. Partnerships with like-minded entrepreneurs and industry experts heighten the ability to develop ventures locally, and allow for the creation of a global cluster of innovation in real estate and housing.
