What We Do

Century Group is a family-owned BC real estate company founded in 1957. Based in New Westminster, with roots in Tsawwassen, we develop and operate mixed-use communities across Metro Vancouver. Our work spans real estate development, construction, property management, hospitality and seniors living, giving us a long-term role in the places we build. Over nearly 70 years, we have built more than 4,000 homes and created residential, commercial and community spaces across the region, including Southlands Tsawwassen and Century City Holland Park.
We design and develop mixed-use neighbourhoods that integrate housing, retail, and public space, always shaped by strong urban design, long-term stewardship, and connection to transit.
Our construction division builds with long-term durability in mind. We deliver thoughtful, high-quality buildings for Century Group and third-party partners.
Barbican Property Management, a division of Century Group, oversees a diverse portfolio of residential, rental and commercial properties in vibrant, amenity-rich communities, along with convenient self-storage facilities.
From hotels to restaurants, our hospitality spaces reflect local spirit and create places to gather, dine, and connect.
Bria Communities provides vibrant, relationship-centred homes for older adults, supporting independence, care, and joy.

Our Values

Food is at the heart of connecting people to place, a shared thread across our teams, our spaces, and everything we build.

Our Story – A Vision for Sustainable Living

What Our Team Says

I enjoy the diversity and collaborations that exist every day. Century Group’s vision of incorporating food and farming into their development projects is a great differentiator in the market. Our lives revolve around food, and weaving that into a large-scale project like Southlands is impressive. I feel like I’m a part of something bigger, something meaningful.
