All-woman real estate team breaks barriers in Toronto

Two EXP engineers have joined a revolutionary real estate development group. Senior Hydrogeologist Nataliya Tkach (featured in our award-winning issue of expresso: women at EXP) and project manager Stacy Meek from our earth sciences team, will offer their unique talents to the aptly named ‘Reina’ residential development project in Etobicoke, ON, meaning ‘Queen’ in Spanish.

Fittingly, the new development will replace an adult entertainment club that has been closed and demolished. Out with an old mindset, in with the new. Together, this group of 15 women are rethinking all the assumptions of design to create an inclusive and inviting space for everyone.

Today, women account for less 20% of Canada’s AEC industry, a significant imbalance that must be addressed on many levels, from the education system right up to the board rooms of multinational firms.

In the meantime, the group has caught the attention of industry and national media:

• CBC News
• CBC Radio: Metro Morning
• Canadian Architect
• Building Magazine
• REMI Network

We are proud to have our people as part of this groundbreaking, all-female group.

Congratulations and best wishes to Nataliya, Stacy and the entire Reina team!
