Kingswood Properties
Chris Cemap's Company Details
Since 1946, the Segal family has led their personal and professional endeavors with unwavering passion.And over the past 75 years, their ambitions have formed many successful businesses and philanthropic initiatives. With a future-focused mindset, the Segal's have shaped robust investment and development brands dedicated to some of the Pacific Northwest's most iconic real estate projects. Kingswood Properties was established on the Segal family's guiding principle of building and investing in quality over quantity. Preferring not to focus on mass production projects, President Lorne Segal, O.B.C., D.Litt.(Hon.), LLD.(Hon.), accredits the pedigree of location and the calibre of design as key contributors to creating historic landmarks. His obsession for details runs deep, and when Lorne pioneered super-luxury living in Vancouver two decades ago with The Kingswood, a world-class residential tower, he was intimately involved with every decision from the formation of custom floor-to-ceiling curved glass to personal services to the types of plants used in the gardens. Even the chalk lines used by the construction team were inspected by Lorne's discerning eye. The appetite for achievement comes from Lorne's father Joseph Segal who, to this day, respects a hard day's work. A World War II veteran, Joseph began his entrepreneurial journey in Vancouver with a modest war surplus store, eventually building the business into a formidable manufacturing and retail empire that later expanded into real estate. "The greatest lesson I have learned from my father was that if you want something out of business, family, or life in general, you have to invest in that. What you put in is what you get out." As a second-generation leader for the past 35 years, Lorne Segal has grown Kingswood Properties' development portfolio to include multiple one-of-a-kind architectural landmark projects while expanding his family's philanthropic efforts.
