COGIR Management

What COGIR Management does

COGIR Management (legal entity: Cogir Real Estate, LP / Cogir Immobilier, société en commandite) is a privately held Canadian real estate management company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Montreal, Quebec. It operates an integrated, multi-segment real estate platform encompassing residential rentals (over 23,000 units across 175 properties), retirement and senior living (over 270 homes with 51,000+ units across Canada and the United States under brands including Cogir Senior Living, Venvi, Regency Resorts, Bloom, and Arbor Trace), commercial property management (4M+ sq ft of retail, office, and industrial space), condominium development and sales (Alvéo, Tak Prestige, Uniti Condos), hotel operations (Rive Gauche, Humaniti, Courtyard by Marriott Montreal Laval), and purpose-built student housing. The company employs over 22,000 people and operates from offices in Montreal and Toronto with a geographic footprint spanning seven Canadian provinces plus the United States.

Cogir generates revenue through a mix of recurring monthly rents from residential and commercial tenants, recurring per-resident fees from retirement home operations, one-time proceeds from condo sales, and hospitality revenue from owned/operated hotels. Distribution is direct-to-consumer, primarily through company websites, on-site leasing offices, and property management teams. The company has pursued a roll-up strategy, acquiring the Epoch Senior Living Management Platform (U.S. expansion, November 2025) and Bayfield Realty Advisors (pan-Canadian expansion, October 2025), and has extended its social brand-building activities via the Cogir Foundation into the United States in March 2026.

The company's technology stack is described as a generic real estate management platform with no disclosed proprietary features, AI/ML capabilities, patents, or data assets. Governance is led by Mathieu Duguay (President and CEO), with founder Serge G. Duguay and CFO Antoine Bernier on the leadership team. Cogir is privately held as a limited partnership with affiliated entities including Société de Gestion Cogir s.e.n.c. and Cogir Canadian RH Management LP, and has no disclosed parent company, venture backing, or public listing.
