Our history

United by a passion for excellence

PUR IMMOBILIA was founded by two passionate individuals with different but complementary backgrounds. Their individual skills and combined talent would become PUR’s strength, propelling the company to the forefront. What did they have in common? The wisdom to surround themselves with experts who share their passion for excellence.

Our team

Cementing relationships

Since the company was founded, the PUR team has grown over the years and now counts on a group of enthusiasts who work in synergy in a friendly atmosphere.

From 2006 to 2012, he was Vice-President of Operations at CAPREIT, one of Canada’s largest real estate investment trusts, with more 48,000 residential units across the country.
