Headquartered in Montréal, Olymbec is now one of the largest private industrial real estate holders in Eastern Canada with branch offices in key markets across Québec and the United States including, Trois-Rivières, Sherbrooke, Québec City, Las Vegas, St. Louis, Memphis and West Virginia.

We aggressively look for “diamond in the rough” properties that have challenges that limit their charm to others. Our extensive track record in acquiring value-add properties has contributed to our reputation as being able to close transactions in a very short time frame. The Olymbec Group, due to its impressive size and scope, prides itself in its ability to rapidly respond to a wide range of both small and large space users. It offers quality leasehold construction, executed efficiently to meet tenants` requirements, at some of the lowest rental rates in its markets. Being a full service, vertically integrated RBQ licensed real estate company, Olymbec handles all aspects of its operation internally including, legal affairs, property & leasehold construction, property management and property maintenance.
