ABOUT US
Lance Orr is a dedicated and ambitious individual deeply rooted in the construction and development industry. Raised in a family that cherished hard work, Lance developed his skills early on by operating equipment, driving vehicles, and managing various farm responsibilities. His exposure to multi-generational family businesses instilled in him a robust work ethic.
Although Lance initially pursued a career as an architect, he soon realized that drawing wasn't his forte. Subsequently, he redirected his focus to civil engineering technology at Algonquin College, graduating in 2011. Choosing a different path, he set out on a journey to become a site superintendent.
Lance's career in construction gained momentum when he joined Ron Engineering in 2011 as an Assistant Site Superintendent. There, he successfully managed complex projects such as building demolitions and the construction of high-rise structures. Later, in his role as a Site Superintendent at Minto, Lance oversaw the construction of a luxury 25-story riverfront condo comprising 212 pristine units, ensuring timely and on-budget delivery.
From 2017 to 2020, Lance served as a Senior Superintendent at Ledcor Group, where he spearheaded unique and high-profile condominium projects along the Ottawa River in the nation's capital. During this time, he successfully delivered over 150 condo suites.
Fueled by a burning desire for more, Lance, in collaboration with his father, co-founded Orr Developments Incorporated in 2020. This marked the beginning of an ambitious journey, as they partnered with construction family friends to acquire and develop an apartment project featuring 118 units, a significant milestone in their construction and development ventures.
With an impressive career spanning over 35 years in construction, property development, and property management, Tom Orr brings a wealth of expertise and experience to the industry. In his formative years, he founded and operated his construction company, overseeing diverse projects before transitioning to property management in 2016.
Currently, Tom manages a diverse portfolio, including three multi-unit apartments, a flourishing 14-lot Ottawa River Subdivision, and an exceptional 60-site Ottawa River RV Resort. In collaboration with his daughter, Tom is also the owner of the Antrim Truck Centre, an expansive property encompassing a gas bar, convenience store, bakeshop, and restaurant, strategically located on 25 acres at the Trans-Canada Highway interchange.
Tom's notable portfolio extends to past accomplishments, including the development of an 80-house subdivision in Aylmer, QC, involvement in tank farm projects for Shell Canada, contributions to dam projects for Ontario Power Generation, and the establishment of a medical center in Shawville, Quebec. He also successfully undertook the construction of a commercial auto parts store and executed a waste collection contract for 18 municipalities. Remarkably, the concrete plant he built and operated was later acquired by a prominent North American company.
In 2020, Tom, alongside his son Lance, co-founded Orr Developments Incorporated, a testament to their unwavering dedication and commitment to the industry.
