Who We Are / The Troika Story

Built on relationships since 1999.

What started as one founder with a belief in doing things differently is now a fully integrated developer, builder and property manager working across Western Canada and the United States.

Where We Started

It started with a belief that how we build matters as much as what we build.

When Renee Merrifield founded Troika in 1999, she knew relationships would sit at the heart of everything it touched. Brad Klassen joined as a partner in 2007, and the company kept growing, project by project and partner by partner.

By focusing on exceeding expectations, adding value to every project and creating opportunities for others, what started from nothing has become one of the leading multifamily builders in the BC Interior.

Today, the same organization finds the opportunity, carries the approvals, builds the project and, in many cases, manages it for years after the ribbon is cut.

Our Vision

Building Sustainable Communities

Growth builds cities, but intention builds communities that last. Every community we touch is designed for the whole picture, through four pillars that work together.

Social

Places that bring people together, with a mix of homes and shared spaces.

Cultural

Communities that reflect the character and people of the place they’re in.

Economic

Projects that perform for partners and bring new life to local business.

Environmental

Land used well, buildings built to last.

The Name

Three horses, harnessed side by side.

A troika is a team of three horses pulling together, each one stronger for running beside the others. It’s how development, construction and property management work at Troika: one team, one direction, and no one carrying the load alone.

One Integrated Team

Develop. Build. Manage. All under one roof.

Develop

We find the opportunity, carry the approvals and plan communities from the first sketch.

Build

Our in-house team builds as general contractor and construction manager, for us and for our clients.

Manage

We manage the homes and spaces we deliver, protecting their value for years to come.
