The story

Rooted in manufacturing. Built on land. 100+ years of combined experience.

The Havenz story began in manufacturing. Our founder is the son of a manufacturer. The family business made things for real markets: CNC manufacturing for the oil and gas industry, and furniture manufacturing. That work built a portfolio of land holdings from the 1970s onward. It also taught the habits every developer needs: precision, supply chains, schedules and delivering what was promised.

Havenz grew from that foundation into real estate and development. The team behind it brings more than 100 years of combined development experience. Havenz has also served as the real estate and build arm for community projects, and knows what a community asset has to deliver every day. On AHI, Havenz is the developer, working with M3 Development Management Inc. as development manager to coordinate design, consultants, schedule and delivery.

Build the places the next economy needs — and build them so communities own their future.

Real estate first.

Land, title, zoning and community fit come before technology.

Infrastructure always.

Power, gas, fibre and water are designed in from the master plan — the backbone every use shares.

Communities forever.

Careers, recreation, food and ownership structures that keep value local for generations.

Leadership

Sunny Sarpal — Founder & Chief Executive Officer

The son of a manufacturer, Sunny Sarpal grew up around CNC machining for oil and gas, furniture production, and the land those businesses built. He has spent his career assembling the pieces major projects need and rarely find in one place: land and land development, infrastructure and project assembly, capital and commercial structuring, and the partnerships that hold them together.

Under his leadership, Havenz has grown from Alberta real estate roots into an integrated development platform — anchored by the AHI flagship in Red Deer County, delivered in partnership with Turning Stone Developments. His work spans Indigenous and strategic partnerships, technology-enabled operations, and community and sports development, with a consistent long-term focus: durable Canadian infrastructure leadership that strengthens the communities it touches.
