Downtown Vancouver is also seeing activity, with Ventana managing the con- struction of three new mixed-use high-rise towers. One of the towers will incorporate a new fire hall, demonstrating the firm's growing expertise in technically integrated developments. The trio of towers strengthens Ventana's presence in the city's urban core and highlights the ongoing growth of its concrete residential portfolio. FROM SIMPLE TO SOPHISTICATED: VSP HANDLES IT ALL With a goal of becoming the go-to contractor, Ventana Special Projects (VSP), an extension of the core business, is designed to capture unique opportunities in the market for nimble, small-scale projects. Whether it's a modest renovation in a heritage building or a project requiring advanced planning, tight coordination and meticulous execution, clients receive the same quality and care that define Ventana's major projects. When it comes to complex, live-site con- struction, VSP brings a uniquely specialized edge. The team integrates seamlessly, engineering tailored solutions that include accelerated timelines, comprehensive safety planning and proactive risk mitigation. Their extensive experience with operational environments—such as TransLink and YVR Airport—ensures that even the most chal- lenging projects stay on track and disrup- tion is kept to a minimum. MORE THAN PROJECTS—VENTANA BUILDS RELATIONSHIPS At the heart of Ventana's business is a simple but powerful belief: strong relation- ships are the foundation of every successful project. Its guiding mantra "Relationships to Build On" is more than a tagline; it's a principle that informs every interaction. This relationship-first philosophy is woven into the company's DNA through what the team calls "The Ventana Way"—a culture built on care, collaboration and accountability. It runs through hiring decisions, performance reviews and project debriefs—reinforcing the value of genuine human connection. Ventana's people-first approach stands out as a quiet but powerful advantage. The company's continued recognition as one of BC's Top Employers and one of Canada's Top Small & Medium Employers is a testa- ment to the long-term value of trust, respect and investing in people. READY FOR WHAT'S NEXT Ventana's future is shaped by smart, purpose-driven growth. With expansion already underway in the Okanagan and strategic opportunities being explored across other regions of the province, the company is poised to compete more broadly—while continuing its work in key sectors such as long-term care, Indigenous housing, and transportation. In a construction landscape increasingly dominated by large corporations and massive builds, Ventana offers a different story: one of steady growth, meaningful partnerships, and values that don't shift with market cycles. It's proof that a relationship-first approach is not only sustainable—it's a competitive edge.
