Communities

Connect people with ideas.

At GWL Realty Advisors, we believe in generating value by creating sustainable communities that engage, excite and inspire.

The Livmore Westboro Village, Ottawa, ON

These are spaces where life events take place every day. Where ideas are hatched, and plans are drawn. Where businesses thrive, and careers grow.

For more than 30 years, we have developed communities by acquiring, building and managing properties that meet the needs of Canada’s growing and diverse population. We are backed by The Canada Life Assurance Company, a leading Canadian international financial services company.

Our diversified property portfolio is focused on high-quality assets in four proven classes.

Our success has a far-reaching impact. More than 3 million Canadians rely on us to fund their pensions, providing them with steady, long-term financial returns.
