Capwood Advisors

What Capwood Advisors does

Capwood Advisors is a privately held Quebec-based real estate investment, development, and asset management firm founded by Denis Epoh, a 27-year veteran of the CDPQ real estate group (SITQ, Ivanhoé Cambridge, PSP Investments). The company administers a real estate investment platform on its own behalf and for institutional third-party investors — pension funds, sovereign wealth funds, private funds, and high-net-worth individuals — with 15+ years of reported institutional relationships. Its core business spans four service lines: asset and portfolio management, acquisition and development, property management and leasing, and private/institutional investment sourcing, all concentrated in the Quebec and Greater Montreal regions.

The company's product surface is anchored by its proprietary "QG" (Quarter General) mixed-use concept, which integrates four co-located districts — Gourmet (restaurants, artisans, market), Santé (medical services), Services, and Résidentiel (condominiums) — under one roof. Flagship assets include Le QG Sainte-Foy (a 247,000 sq ft, 123-condo development backed by a ~$80–100M investment, completed 2020, launched 2021, and winner of the Prix Construire 2022 in the multi-use building category), the 35,000 sq ft Le District Gourmet gastronomic hall within it, and the Le QG Vieux-Québec heritage development (36 residential units, groundbreaking Fall 2024, scheduled delivery 2028). The portfolio also includes standalone commercial and medical clinic properties (1150 rue Saint-Jean, Clinique Médicale Adoncour) and grocery retail assets (Le Marché Carrier). No proprietary technology platform is disclosed; operations are organized around direct sales, direct leasing, and contact-based inquiry, with a sales-led go-to-market motion targeting institutional capital partners and individual condo buyers.
