Behind the Seymour Pacific name is a hardworking and driven team of industry-leading professionals that guide each project from conception to completion.
From our in-house design department working hand in hand with our development and land acquisitions team, to our project management, construction management, purchasing, quality control, and COR certified safety program, it is with this fully integrated team that we control every aspect of our build to deliver quality projects to our clients.
Seymour Pacific Developments turned 30 in 2022, but our company heritage goes back even further. View our timeline below to learn more about our entire history.
In 1983, Kris and Cheryl Mailman took over Mailman Construction from Kris' father, with one presold house that year in Campbell River, BC. They continued to build single family homes and diversify into duplexes and developing subdivisions.
In 1992, Mailman Construction is renamed Seymour Pacific Developments after the beautiful Seymour Narrows, north of Campbell River. Kris launches an asset management company called Broadstreet Properties that would manage the buildings Seymour Pacific was building. They continue to expand and grow throughout British Columbia, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba.
After expanding into 12 cities, Kris Mailman sells the entire 2000+ unit portfolio to start the companies on a new path. In 2006, Kris re-launches Broadstreet Properties with a new business model and Seymour Pacific builds its first property in their new portfolio, River Meadows Estates in Winnpeg, MB.
Over the next four years, the companies expand over Alberta, Saskatchewan and Manitoba, building regional offices and accumulating a portfolio of over 1,700 units.
By 2013 the portfolio exceeds an impressive 4,000 units and the companies begin to grow at an unprecedented speed. In 2014, they reach over 5,000 units and open their beautiful West Coast-inspired home office, seen here.
In 2015, Seymour Pacific continues to expand into new cities, including Cold Lake, AB and Beaumont, AB.
With over 6000 units in operation, Broadstreet Properties hits a new milestone with over $1 billion in asset value with over 7 million square feet in property space.
The next six years sees massive expansion all over Canada, including British Columbia.
In early 2020, the two companies reach their largest milestone yet. Seymour Pacific builds 1600 units in one year and Broadstreet reaches 10,000 units in operation.
Seymour Pacific begins work on their first-ever concrete building in Campbell River with the 12-storey Crestview Tower at Seymour Village boasting the best ocean and mountain views in Campbell River. The business expands to West Kelowna, Port Alberni, Cranbrook, Brandon, and continues to thrive across Western Canada. A new regional office fosters growth in Saskatoon.
Kris D. Mailman represents the next generation of leadership, being promoted to Chief Executive Officer of Seymour Pacific and Broadstreet Properties after seven years as the Company’s Chief Operating Officer and Executive VP.
Seymour Pacific Developments turns 30. New projects are built in Calgary and Lethbridge, AB, Saskatoon, SK and Campbell River, BC.
Construction is completed on a new Manitoba Regional Office. Seymour Pacific, Broadstreet Properties and Red River Lumber share 25,000 square feet of office space and 20,000 square feet of warehouse space under one roof.
Seymour Pacific breaks ground on our first project in Ontario. Blackstone Village in Stittsville will boast 408 apartments and 10,000 sq. ft. of commercial space across 5 buildings.
Seymour Pacific Developments works hand in hand with Broadstreet Properties, to develop, build, own, and manage over 15,000 apartment units across Canada.
The two companies operate under a single unified vision; to create value for our owners, employees, and clients. Founder Kris Mailman’s vision has allowed for unprecedented growth from a local single-family home developer to encompassing an industry-leading team of over 1000 employees. The organization strives to create the best rental communities from dirt to door.
