We bridge values and viability, guiding mission-driven organizations from concept to community.
Terra Housing stands at the intersection of two worlds: the collaborative culture of mission-driven organizations and the market-driven reality of real estate development.
For the benefit of our clients, we speak both languages fluently.
Our clients come to us with varied assets. Some bring land or partner relationships, others bring funding opportunities, while still others bring deep expertise in community needs. What's often missing is experience navigating the complexity of real estate development. We bridge this gap. From initial vision and financial strategy to design, approvals, construction, and far beyond occupancy, we're with you every step of the way.
For over 40 years, we've guided more than 180 mission-driven organizations, urban Indigenous groups, and all levels of government to deliver 350 completed projects and 17,000 housing units across more than 50 BC communities.
Your foundation for community development.
Founded in 1984 by Jim O'Dea and Stuart Thomas around a kitchen table, Terra Housing continues to grow and evolve. Our next generation of leaders brings diverse voices and fresh perspectives while preserving what's always defined us: an unshakeable commitment to being your advocate, your translator, and your foundation.
