Skyline Group of Companies (Skyline) is made up of entities specializing in asset acquisitions, management, development, and investment

Our Core Purpose: To provide meaningful value and an exceptional experience for each of our stakeholders, while developing strong, supportive, and sustainable communities. How do we do it? By bringing passion, energy, and determination to make a positive impact with every interaction. That’s our Mission at Skyline. It’s the reason why we manage our entire business with the personal “Skyline touch.”

Skyline is made up of multiple Funds and Businesses that span the apartment, commercial, and retail real estate industries, as well as the clean energy industry. We purchase and develop real estate and clean energy assets across Canada, and fully manage the assets ourselves.

These assets are grouped into four Fund portfolios, which are offered as unique private alternative investment products: Skyline Apartment REIT, Skyline Clean Energy Fund, Skyline Industrial REIT, and Skyline Retail REIT.

Skyline’s three Co-Founders—brothers Jason and Martin Castellan and their good friend R. Jason Ashdown—along with CFO Wayne Byrd—still actively run Skyline today. With decades of experience in the business, their passion and flair for the real estate and clean energy industries has cultivated a unique inclusive company culture at Skyline. It is based on professionalism, respect, integrity, drive, and efficiency (P.R.I.D.E.), and has grown our organization to become a true leader in the Canadian real estate industry.

Our objectives are sky-high, but we never forget our roots. We’ve been doing the right thing by our customers since Day One.
