What Boffo Properties does
Boffo Properties is a Vancouver-based, family-owned real estate development company founded in 1963 by Italian immigrant Tarcisio Boffo, operating across Metro Vancouver from North Vancouver to Langley. The firm develops and sells residential properties (single-family residences, townhomes, concrete high-rises, and master-planned communities) under named communities including Edgemont Walk (a CHBA 2021 National Award winner for Best Attached Home – Low Rise 1,500 sq ft and over), Haven, Mason, Cordovan, and Eastpark. It also develops, leases, and professionally manages commercial and industrial properties such as Riverfront Corporate Centre in South Vancouver and the Boyne and Boyd complex in New Westminster, with rental relationships to tenants including CrossFit New West, Queensborough Landing Return-It, and DEC Express.
The operating stack spans two wholly-owned subsidiaries: Boffo Building, which provides construction management services for both internal projects and external clients (including repeated build-outs for Organic Learning Academy childcare centres in Burnaby), and Boffo Foundation, the family's charitable arm supporting organizations such as The Kettle Friendship Society and the Watoto Organization. Technology use is operational rather than product-facing: Microsoft Co-Pilot AI has been deployed across office workflows (accounting, marketing, customer care, construction documentation), the Salus Digital Safety System supports construction site safety management, and the company is exploring drone-based site surveys and smart building technologies. There is no proprietary software product, API, or external platform; technology serves internal productivity and asset quality rather than monetization.
Boffo makes money primarily through one-time residential unit sales to individual home buyers and recurring commercial leasing income, supplemented by construction management fees from external clients. Residential pricing is not publicly disclosed, while commercial space at Riverfront Corporate Centre is marketed through Colliers International as leasing broker. The company is privately held with no disclosed institutional investment, operates a dedicated acquisitions and development pipeline ([email protected]), and is led by Principals Daniel Boffo and Flavia Boffo Punzo with Jake McEwan as Director of Development. Headcount is 11–50 employees, all based out of the East Vancouver headquarters at 1391 Venables Street.
