What BODA GTA GROUPS INC. does

Groupe Boda (formerly Broad Group, rebranded September 15, 2021) is a privately-held real estate developer headquartered in Brossard, Quebec, founded in 2001 by Alice Minying Wu. The company develops residential communities, owns and operates commercial shopping centers, and runs the Lachute Golf Club in the Greater Montreal area, with a strategic focus on the South Shore (Rive-Sud) corridor. Operations are organized across three integrated revenue streams: residential development and sales, commercial property ownership and management, and recreational golf operations. The company maintains a vertically integrated operating model through its construction subsidiary, Lawrence Construction.

The residential portfolio spans townhouses, condominiums, and single-family homes, with a specialized focus on transit-oriented developments (TOD). The flagship project, Candiac TOD de la Gare, represents a projected $1B+ investment encompassing 3,000+ housing units across 450,000+ square meters. Active and delivered projects include Brossard-sur-le-parc (546 units), Kaïfa Townhouses (LEED-certified, sold out across Phases I-V), Faubourg Châteauneuf Townhouses, and the announced La Prairie-sur-le-parc ecoquartier. The commercial portfolio includes Destination La Prairie, Place La Citére, Plaza Rive-Sud, Promenade Champlain, and a Toys R Us commercial building, anchored by tenants including Super C, Jean Coutu, Scotiabank, and Tim Hortons. The Lachute Golf Club, acquired in 2022, ranks in Canada's Top 100 and Quebec's Top 2, generating 60,000+ rounds annually.

The business model combines one-time revenue from residential unit sales with recurring income from commercial rental operations and golf club memberships and green fees. Groupe Boda serves three distinct customer segments: individual residential buyers (end-users and investors), commercial tenants (anchor retail and service businesses), and recreational golfers. The company partners with engineering firms (FNX-INNOV, Stantec), financial institutions (Desjardins), and trade organizations (Conseil du Patronat du Québec, Canada China Business Council, CORIM), and holds a major partnership with AKD International Education Inc. for the $100M Montreal International School project.

Direct peers

• Devimco Immobilier: Major Greater Montreal mixed-use developer behind Quartier Dix30 and SOLAR Uniquartier, the latter directly adjacent to Groupe Boda's Brossard-sur-le-parc. Competes for the same TOD-adjacent South Shore land and end-buyer demand.
• Groupe Prével: Established Montreal residential developer with deep condo, townhouse, and rental portfolio across Greater Montreal. Direct competitor for residential land and end-buyer demand in similar transit-adjacent corridors.
