Description The story of how Qualico came to be is the story of its founders — Dr. David Friesen and Katherine Friesen. It was their vision, incredible work ethic, and intuitive business savvy that laid the foundation for what Qualico has been able to achieve since its inception in 1951. A vision that began with the construction of six homes and grew to become one of Canada’s most successful integrated real estate companies.
Established in Winnipeg, Quality Construction expanded into Calgary in 1954 and Edmonton in 1955. In 1972, the company changed its name to Qualico and it has since expanded into Metro Vancouver, Saskatoon, Regina, and Austin and Dallas–Fort Worth, Texas.
Today, thousands of families choose Qualico to build their homes. The company’s activities span the entire real estate spectrum and include land acquisition and development, single-family and multi-family home divisions, commercial development and leasing, property management and building materials and services.
Our principles and ethics remain true to those of our founders. Qualico remains a privately-owned business through Ruth and Brian Hastings – daughter of Dr. David and Katherine Friesen. Qualico saw tremendous growth and success under Ruth and Brian’s leadership. The company has entered its third generation of leadership with Kevin Van as President – husband of Lisa Hastings.
