Focus Equities

 
Focus Equities, a Canadian corporation, provides development, investment and project finance in real estate, infrastructure, and mining.  Founded over 35 years ago by Canadian entrepreneur Ken Mariash, Focus Equities and its associated companies (“Focus”) have developed, purchased, or sold more than 15 million square feet of real estate and more than 10,000 residential /condominium units in North America. Focus Equities is currently developing over $1 billion USD of projects in North America and has a long track record of successful innovative financial structures.

In real estate, Focus Equities acts both as the developer of large complex projects and as an active financial investor. Focus Equities generally partners with local entities and engineering firms for projects related to infrastructure, energy, and mining. Focus Equities provides corporate finance, development expertise, and corporate structuring in these joint ventures. One of the key strengths of Focus Equities is its ability to interface with large Canadian financial institutions and the Export Development Corporation of Canada.
