What Bertone does

Bertone Corp. is a privately held, fully integrated Montreal-based real estate developer and property manager founded in 2001. The company operates across four asset classes: retail (since 2001), residential (since 2006), office (since 2011), and industrial (since 2020), with a portfolio of 35 completed projects representing approximately 4 million square feet of development concentrated in Quebec and Ontario. Its core operations span the full real estate value chain: site acquisition, development structuring, construction, leasing, and ongoing property management, delivered through a small internal team of 11-50 employees based at its Saint-Laurent headquarters. Bertone's customer base is hybrid: institutional and private investors fund projects; corporate occupiers (Ford Motor Company of Canada, Government of Quebec) lease large-format space; grocery anchors (IGA, Super C, Dollorama) and other retailers (Desjardins, Chungchun Rice Dog, Shushuharu) lease commercial space; and individual buyers/renters purchase or lease residential units. The company generates revenue through three streams: one-time development sales (residential condos for sale), recurring property management fees, and recurring commercial/retail leasing income. Its current pipeline includes 15+ projects in development and 7 under active construction, with notable completions scheduled through 2027. Distribution is direct via the company's own sales and leasing teams, supported by an investor portal (agorareal.com) and a corporate website with active LinkedIn, Facebook, and Instagram channels. Pricing for development and leasing is transaction-based and not publicly disclosed, though Montreal industrial net rents reportedly range $14-$16 per sq ft. Bertone holds no disclosed external funding and appears to self-finance development activities, operating as an independent founder/family-owned entity.
