A recent Business in Vancouver article highlights how partnerships are becoming essential to moving projects forward in Vancouver’s increasingly complex development landscape.
Kindred Construction’s President, Bryan Reid, shares how collaboration between developers, government, and non-profits is reshaping how projects are funded and delivered. Success today isn’t just about execution, it’s about early alignment across stakeholders to balance priorities, navigate complexity, and keep projects viable.
Delivering housing in B.C. now more than ever requires a coordinated, partnership-first approach from start to finish.

Our 981 Davie project welcomed another important visit this past weekend.
Hosted by Michaël Robach, Interim Executive Director of QMUNITY, the tour offered a preview of the future QMUNITY space within the development.
In attendance were the Minister for Women and Gender Equality, the Honourable Rechie Valdez; B.C.’s Attorney General, the Honourable Niki Sharma; Parliamentary Secretary for Gender Equity, Jennifer Blatherwick; and local MLA Terry Yung. All were there to support ongoing efforts to uplift the 2SLGBTQIA+ community in Vancouver and across the province.
A key feature of the project is the new QMUNITY centre, a vital resource that will provide services, programs, and a safe, inclusive gathering space.
We’re proud to be part of a project that helps strengthen the community and create lasting impact.

At Kindred Construction, the strength of our work is driven by our dedicated teams who show up every day ready to learn, adapt, and support one another. David Yan embodies this mindset through his steady, team-first approach and commitment to continuous growth.
Now approaching 10 years with Kindred, David reflects on his journey as one shaped by opportunity, mentorship, and a willingness to step up. As Senior Project Coordinator, David plays a key role in keeping projects running smoothly. He supports day-to-day operations both in the office and on site, stepping in wherever needed to keep projects on track and moving toward successful completion.
Over the years, he’s developed a strong sense of ownership in his work and credits much of his growth to the people around him, emphasizing the importance of asking questions and staying open to learning.
What David enjoys most about his role is the variety. No two days are the same, and the constant opportunity to learn and connect with new people keeps the work engaging and rewarding.
Outside of work, David values time with his family and staying active. He enjoys kayaking and playing a variety of sports, and brings a unique background as a former anti-tank gunner during his military training in Singapore.
We’re grateful for the positive impact David brings to every project and team he’s part of.

420 Downie Street is gaining recognition, recently featured in the Revelstoke Review for its role in delivering much-needed housing in Revelstoke, B.C., and contributing to the province’s broader push to increase housing supply in smaller communities.

There’s been strong progress since our last update on the Kwantlen Non-Market Housing initiative.
Set alongside the natural beauty of the Stave River, the project is beginning to take shape. Level 6 framing is now complete, marking the end of the structural phase and a significant milestone for the team.
Next up is “wrapping” the building, including the installation of the roof, windows, and siding to weatherproof the structure and allow interior work to begin.
A key step forward as the project continues to come together on site.

1247 Kingsway is taking shape in East Vancouver and starting to make a statement.
Cladding is nearly complete on the six-storey mixed-use project, bringing its defining look to life with a corrugated metal façade and painted steel accents that complement the Kingsway streetscape.
At street level, steel stud framing is underway alongside storefront glazing installation. Inside, lobby framing is also progressing.
Up top, rooftop amenities are coming together with landscape finishes in progress, trellises complete, and pavers up next.
With BC Hydro set to mobilize for permanent power, energization in the upcoming months will be followed by startup, testing, and commissioning as work continues on-site.
Every detail is being carefully executed by the team to bring the project together.

On March 13th, we welcomed Vancouver Mayor Ken Sim, Minister of Housing and Municipal Affairs Christine Boyle, and representatives from BC Housing, CMHC, the Community Land Trust (CLT), and QMUNITY for a tour of the 981 Davie project.

Led by Kenny Dempsey, Project Director at Kindred Construction, and Monica Morgan, Executive Director of CLT, the tour showcased residential units, mass timber elements, and the future QMUNITY space, which will provide over 13,000 sf for programs and community use.
As one of the region’s leading tall timber projects, 981 Davie carries a heightened level of responsibility, driving our team’s commitment to push the project further and raise the bar for what’s possible.
