About Avillia Developments

Avillia Developments is a real estate operator headquartered in Edmonton, AB. Avillia Developments operates in Edmonton, Alberta and Kelowna, British Columbia. Its investment focus is on Covered Land & Land Banking, Hospitality and Resorts.

Avillia Developments is a privately owned and operated land development company founded in 2005. Headquartered at Suite 328, 14127-23 Avenue NW in Edmonton, Alberta, the company operates under the executive leadership of founder and principal Patrick Shaver and co-founder Eleni Shaver. Drawing on its founders' long-standing consulting and management experience within the sector, the firm specializes in master planning, municipal approvals, and horizontal infrastructure construction. The corporation concentrates its business model on transforming raw acreage into fully serviced, master-planned neighborhoods and specialized commercial or resort destinations. Its operational framework focuses predominantly on horizontal asset creation, taking raw land parcels through the complex phases of conceptual design, Area Structure Plan (ASP) amendments, environmental studies, and final municipal rezoning. Once the site servicing, grading, and lot subdivisions are finalized, the organization works collaboratively with a select group of third-party homebuilders and vertical real estate developers to deliver the final residential and commercial structures. The organization's master-planned project portfolio is highly diverse, varying in scale from low-density single-family residential enclaves to massive suburban expansions and integrated lakeside resorts. Its long-term track record features the delivery of neighborhoods ranging from intimate 16-acre waterfront sites to sweeping 160-acre master plans. Key initiatives in its current production pipeline include Concorde in the Orchards, a 72-acre low-density residential community in South Edmonton, alongside a substantial 160-acre suburban project pipeline in Spruce Grove, Alberta. The firm's geographical development footprint is strategically segmented across two primary economic regions in Western Canada. Its primary operations are concentrated within the Edmonton Capital Region of Alberta, maintaining active asset networks and neighborhood developments across Sherwood Park, Leduc, Beaumont, Calmar, and Spruce Grove. In 2019, the firm executed a targeted geographic expansion into British Columbia's high-growth Okanagan region, expanding its operational capabilities into the vertical resort and mixed-use commercial space. A prominent example of this regional diversification is Port Okanagan, a flagship 16-acre waterfront development situated at the historical Okanagan Landing in Vernon, British Columbia. Developed in alignment with municipal waterfront neighborhood plans, the village-style mixed-use project is master-planned to incorporate between 500 and 700 multi-family residential units, including condominiums and rental apartments, integrated alongside dedicated commercial spaces, boardwalks, and a 4-to-4.5-star resort hotel anchor.
