The Van Maren Group.

The Van Maren Group of Companies was formed in 1973 by brothers Bernie and Eric Van Maren. In its initial years the company acted as a framing and concrete subcontractor on a variety of projects.

During the 1980's the Van Maren Group of Companies acted primarily as a general contractor on a wide variety of projects in BC, Washington State and California, as well as developing a number of projects on their own.  

In the 1990's the company started a financing division, which rapidly became Bernie's primary focus. Eric headed up the construction company and developed an expertise as a design-build contractor for government housing and other institutional projects. The company also developed a number of large scale residential communities.

At the present time the company's efforts are focused on financing and real estate development.
