Origin Story:
Eva wasn’t always one of the partners at The Heron Group; she started at the bottom when she was only 21 and has worked her way up the ladder! Her first position was as an assistant in a Heathwood sales office while she was in university. Eventually, Eva was promoted to head office, and as a young woman in the industry, the sky was the limit! Eva credits her family and mentors for teaching her to look beyond professional titles and other frivolities and to just focus on the actual quality of her work. This philosophy has clearly carried her a long way!

New Whitby community coming soon.
Student housing division planned for Hamilton, London, and Kitchener
Vision:
“With housing prices limiting the affordability for the average family, there is an opportunity and a need for more multi-generational family homes. The social dynamics are changing as a result of people living longer, having children later in life and both parents having careers. The demand on the middle generation will be a defining factor in the design of the product we as builders offer.”
Interesting Fact:
Eva is a total book worm! Her favourite part of the week is curling up on the couch with a great book and getting lost in the world of literature.
