Shaping the Future of Canadian Real Estate

Established in 1992 by Mike McGahan, Commvesco Realty laid the foundation for what would later become CLV Group through a strategic merger with Levinson-Viner Ltd. A 2009 partnership between CLV Group and InterRent REIT was pivotal to the success of both companies. During Mike’s tenure as CEO of both CLV Group and InterRent, the team successfully boosted InterRent’s market value from $40 million to an impressive $2 billion, making it one of Canada’s fastest growing REITs.

Since separating from InterRent REIT, CLV Group has gone on to rapidly expand its services and its portfolio of strategically managed Canadian real estate. The Ottawa-based firm now offers a fully vertically integrated platform encompassing acquisitions, property development, construction and project management, property management, real estate brokerage, and mortgage brokerage.
