PARVIS LAUNCHES THE PARVIS DIRECT ACCESS FUND TO BROADEN REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITIES
Parvis Invest Inc. has launched the Parvis Direct Access Fund (PDAF). Targeting a $60-million fundraise, this innovative vehicle provides investors with diversified exposure to institutional-grade real estate opportunities, breaking down traditional barriers to entry.
Historically, access to private real estate investing has been limited to institutional players or high-net-worth individuals with significant capital. The Parvis Direct Access Fund disrupts this model by enabling eligible and accredited investors to access top-performing real estate projects led by marquee developers. With a portfolio spanning multifamily housing, mixed-use developments and hospitality the fund allows investors to benefit from long-term growth potential while enjoying the strategic diversification -- an approach traditionally reserved for institutional investors.
"Real estate is a cornerstone of wealth creation, yet the best opportunities have often been out of reach for most Canadians," said David Michaud, chief executive officer of Parvis. "The Parvis Direct Access Fund is designed to change that. By delivering institutional-grade opportunities through a streamlined and inclusive structure, we're giving more investors the ability to build diversified portfolios and access the potential of Canada's real estate market."
The PDAF follows a clear and strategic allocation plan, targeting value-add opportunities in high-demand markets. The fund targets 60-per-cent multifamily, 20-per-cent hospitality, 15-per-cent mixed use and 5-per-cent industrial projects, ensuring exposure to diverse real estate sectors that align with market trends and investor demand. Geographically, the fund is concentrated in Canada's high-growth regions, with 40 per cent in Ontario, 20 per cent in British Columbia, 20 per cent in Quebec and 10 per cent in other provinces, reflecting a balanced approach to maximizing growth potential while mitigating risk.
Reimagining real estate investing for modern investors
Parvis brings unique market expertise to the PDAF, leveraging its dual role as an exempt market dealer (EMD) and operator of Canada's premier real estate and alternative investment platform. With deep industry insights and a commitment to due diligence, the Parvis team evaluates and selects opportunities that align with evolving market trends, targeting long-term growth potential and risk-adjusted returns.
With an opportunistic and value-add approach, the fund's strategic focus is on development and redevelopment projects that address critical housing supply challenges in urban centers while supporting the transformation of underutilized properties into vibrant, high-value assets. By partnering with leading builders and developers, the fund supports renovation, expansion and new development initiatives that deliver strong potential returns while aligning with industry trends. The PDAF also enables foreign investors to access Canada's thriving real estate market, further expanding the fund's reach and appeal.
