On September 11, 2018, Groupe Prével celebrated its 40th anniversary at Station F-MR with over 600 guests. Prével was founded as a family business in 1978 and now employs over 100 team members. The company’s history is characterized by a vision that combines innovation with a deep love of the city of Montreal, and a mission to protect access to property and to counter urban sprawl, all while leaving a legacy of built heritage that promotes diversity.
For over 40 years, Prével has worked on projects and neighbourhood revitalizations, and built over 11,000 homes, earning the company several awards including that of the Governor General of Canada.
Prével is known for its ability to optimize space and provide outstanding customer service. It is a pioneer of landscaped roofs and urban chalets, and is committed to integrated public spaces, green spaces, services and local businesses into its projects, in order to help revitalize neighbourhoods. Prével has also contributed nearly $6 million to the Social Housing Contribution Fund over the last 10 years.
“Forty years ago, I set out to make my own contribution to society, with freedom and enjoyment. This is how Prével was founded. Since then, we have worked to revive abandoned buildings, contribute to the preservation of heritage, transform obsolete urban spaces and restore life to the city through housing,” said Jacques Vincent, founder and shareholder of the company, in a press release. “I think we are making a real difference for our city’s history and leaving a lasting legacy. More importantly, we are encouraging first-time home buyers with prices that – at all cost – allow Montréalers to be owners in their city.”
