Hillpark Capital cofounders Brandon Shiller and Jeremy Kornbluth are working with Griffin Square. This walkthrough looks at the design of the complex itself. A building's exterior does most of the talking. Before anyone enters a lobby or opens a suite door, they read the façade: its colour, its rhythm, its materials, the way it meets the ground and the sky. At Griffin Square, the 409-apartment rental complex in Montreal's Griffintown, ACDF Architecture made the exterior work hard. This walkthrough takes it one element at a time. Griffin Square stands at the intersection of Peel and Ottawa str

Understanding Property Management in Montreal
What makes a property well managed? The answer is not simply a clean building or a quick response to a maintenance request. Effective property management in Montreal requires a combination of operational discipline, tenant communication, maintenance, market awareness and long-term asset planning.

Hillpark Capital, co-founded by Brandon Shiller and Jeremy Kornbluth, has built its approach around exactly this idea. Rather than treating older commercial buildings as liabilities, the firm looks at underused properties as candidates for historic redevelopment, weighing heritage architecture and neighborhood context before deciding what a building should become next. That mindset — asking what a structure already offers instead of what it would cost to erase — is showing up more and more across sustainable real estate development, where preserving embodied carbon in existing steel and concr

Investors watch interest rates, track transaction activity, monitor economic forecasts, and attempt to predict short-term market movements. While understanding current conditions is important, some of the most successful real estate investors share a different perspective. They focus on the long term.
