The BTR Group is a family-led firm with nearly 40 years of combined experience in real estate, finance, and community development. What began as a vision to deliver smarter, more resilient real estate solutions has grown into a multi-sector platform trusted across North America.
We are more than developers or investors—we are builders of opportunity. Our strength lies in aligning strategy, capital, and execution to create long-term value for communities and stakeholders alike.
At The BTR Group, our story is rooted in fostering resilient communities through innovative real estate solutions. We deliver projects that turn complexity into clarity and challenges into long-term growth. From strengthening communities in the U.S. Mountain West to advancing destination markets in Mexico and Canada, our work is guided by precision, purpose, and impact.
Our commitment to leadership and service extends beyond real estate, reflected in the organizations and initiatives we are proud to support.
