Glyn Lewis, the founder of @Renewal_Dev says it’s his company’s mission to save, relocate, and repurpose as many homes as possible.
“Instead of bulldozing this really nice rancher, we physically lifted it last night, and we moved it down to the Squamish Nation.”
@jeromedickey Of the 2700 homes in @MetroVancouver demolished each year, we estimate 700 could be rescued and relocated. We invite anyone, developer or citizen, to connect with us to help save them!
