Northern Ontario development maverick, Riversedge Developments, partners with
award winning project management veteran MHPM.
“The deindustrialization of our communities and the economic vacuum it generates
has led to the need for reinvention, call it revitalization, call it restoration, what
matters is the creation of new value and the opportunities it creates. Closing the
gap between site liability and site revaluation is not for the faint of heart. We’ve
pioneered the process of integrated restorative development, took a big bite,
rapidly expanded and are now partnering with project management powerhouse
MHPM to bring a new level of operational excellence to our projects.”
Justus Veldman, CEO, Riversedge Developments
