Brivia Group

What Brivia Group does

Brivia Group is a privately held Canadian real estate development and investment company founded in 2000 by Kheng Ly and headquartered in Montreal. It develops and manages luxury condominiums, rental apartment buildings, and mixed-use resort properties across Quebec, Ontario, and British Columbia, with a portfolio that includes the tallest residential tower in Montreal (1 Square Phillips, 61 storeys, 498-500 units), the world's tallest Passive House building in downtown Vancouver (CURV, 60 storeys, 501 units), YUL Condominiums (two 38-storey towers and 17 townhouses with the Tianqing/Tianco partnership), the ski-in/ski-out L'Hymne des Trembles resort at Mont-Tremblant, the LB9 rental apartment complex in Quebec City, and the Mansfield and Quinzecent projects in downtown Montreal. The firm has delivered more than 2,000 residential units over its operating history and structures each project through dedicated Quebec-incorporated limited partnerships and subsidiaries.

The business model is primarily condominium and resort unit sales (one-time revenue at unit closing), supplemented by recurring rental income from projects such as LB9 in Quebec City and by commercial space sales (e.g., the Quinzecent commercial spaces sold to Groupe MACH). Brivia monetizes development value through dedicated presentation centres in Montreal, Mont-Tremblant, and Vancouver, an external broker network (Baker Real Estate as sales agent for Mansfield, a Platinum Broker Recognition Program, exclusive broker events drawing 100+ agents), and direct outreach to high-net-worth individual buyers and international investors (notably Chinese buyers for YUL via Tianqing). Construction is funded by a mix of institutional construction financing (BMO-led syndicate for CURV, banking syndicates including CIBC and Bank of China, IPSO FACTO private equity for 1 Square Phillips Phase 2, Claridge for LB9 Phase 3) and strategic co-investors at the project level (Tianqing 50% stake in YUL; Henson Development for CURV; Olymbec for the Griffintown 'Îlot de la Montagne').

Underlying technology and design differentiation centre on the Passive House construction standard applied at CURV (reduced CO2 emissions, improved insulation, ultra-filtered air, lower energy bills), YOO Design Studio branding at L'Hymne des Trembles, sustainable resort construction with local materials (wood, stone, bedrock), and architectural landmarks recognised by the Grand Prix du Design, Domus Awards, and Habitat Design Awards. Founder Kheng Ly's brand (King Charles III Coronation Medal 2025, Medal of the National Assembly of Quebec 2022) reinforces a luxury positioning targeted at affluent individual homebuyers, urban professionals, eco-conscious luxury buyers, and rental tenants across major Canadian markets.
