LES HABITATIONS RICHARD HEBERT INC.

What LES HABITATIONS RICHARD HEBERT INC. does

Les Habitations Richard Hébert Inc. is a privately held, family-owned Quebec real estate and ambulance services conglomerate headquartered in Sorel-Tracy, Québec. Founded in 1980 by Richard Hébert, a businessman and dentist, the company operates the largest residential rental portfolio in the Sorel-Tracy region, comprising more than 450 housing units across multiple properties (including Des Jacinthes near the Cégep, Place Millier near the hospital, and 5100 boulevard des Étudiants), plus over 250,000 square feet of commercial, industrial and office space and approximately 10 million square feet of land holdings. The firm also owns and operates Ambulances Richelieu, a fleet of 22 ambulances serving the Lanaudière region, making it one of the largest private ambulance operators in Quebec.

The company generates revenue through three recurring streams: monthly residential rent (including apartments of 1½ to 5½ configurations and furnished monthly rentals), commercial lease income from office and retail space ranging from 500 to more than 10,000 square feet, and ambulance service fees. Its go-to-market model is direct-to-consumer and direct-to-tenant, with inquiries handled via phone and email ([email protected]) and listings on its website. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed. The company delivers turnkey commercial projects supported by an in-house team of architects, engineers, designers and decorators, and partners with sustainable development firms to reduce operating costs through energy efficiency. It markets 24/7 service availability, flexible payment terms and project financing as key customer-facing differentiators.

Ownership and management have remained within the Hébert family since inception. Following the death of founder Richard Hébert in 2000, his sons Dave and Keven Hébert assumed management of the business. The firm employs more than 250 people across its real estate and ambulance operations and has no disclosed external investors, institutional shareholders, or public listing. Technology and digital infrastructure are minimal: a basic internal intranet supports ambulance operations, while the public-facing website functions as a property listings and contact channel. No AI, API, app or digital product surface is disclosed.
