The Rosseau Group

What The Rosseau Group does

The Rosseau Group (TRG) is a Toronto-based private investment firm founded in 2013 by cousins Scott Moffat and John Mehlenbacher, focused on private real estate development, fund management, and sales-and-marketing strategy in Southern and Central Ontario. The firm operates an integrated real estate investment system that combines five divisions — Finance, Development, Sales, Branding, and Hospitality — executed through wholly-owned subsidiaries including Rosseau Development Corp (RDC), Rosseau Properties Ltd (RPL), Rosseau Hospitality, and Muskoka Springs Natural Spring Water Inc., along with affiliated sales firms TCS Marketing Systems and The Condo Store.

TRG's primary investor-facing product is Rosseau Real Estate Partners X, LP (RREP X), a private real estate fund offering tax-efficient exposure to a balanced portfolio of directly-managed developments, currently deployed across four projects (The Casablanca in Grimsby, The Starboard in Gravenhurst, 'Brant Street' in Burlington, and 'Old Lakeshore' in Burlington). The firm invests in only 2-3% of the hundreds of opportunities it reviews annually, vetted through an investment committee process. Beyond fund management, TRG operates income-generating commercial and residential rental properties, owns and operates integrated hospitality assets, and runs a heritage beverage business (Muskoka Springs, established 1873) that provides branded natural spring water, craft beverages, private label water, and Coca-Cola distribution.

The firm serves high-net-worth individual investors and institutional investors seeking diversified Southern Ontario real estate exposure, alongside real estate developers seeking preconstruction sales and marketing support through TCS Marketing Systems and The Condo Store (collectively the largest pre-construction condominium investor syndicate in Canada). Consumer end-markets are reached via Muskoka Springs retail distribution across Ontario and abroad. The company is private and family-owned with no external institutional investors disclosed, and employs 51-100 people across its integrated operations.
