What is IGVhope?
+
IGVhope is a homeownership program that converts finished strata units into a structured path to ownership for qualified residents — backed by CMHC underwriting and, on the refinance path, provincial guarantees. Developers get certainty on their completed inventory; residents get a fixed price and time to build toward it.

The structural problem
The absorption gap
Every month between completion and sale is carrying cost — interest, strata, tax — with zero revenue offsetting it.
The discount spiral
Moving unsold inventory fast usually means dropping price, which resets the comps for every remaining unit.
The uncertainty tax
Lenders price risk into your next project based on how long this one took to sell. Slow absorption follows you forward.
Aligned with the province's goals
The same goal.
Two paths there — neither requires a provincial buyout.
Every unit that enters the IGVhope program follows one of two paths chosen by the developer. Both end the same way — occupants on a structured route to ownership. Neither requires government to purchase a single unit.
Path one
IGVhope purchase
1
IGVhope purchases the units at a 1.10x DSCR-underwritten price
2
Developer exits fully — capital and risk transfer at closing
3
Stock enters the Hope program on a structured path to ownership
Path two
Provincial-backed refinance
1
Developer refinances up to 95% of value, backed by the province
2
Developer keeps ownership and pulls out equity — no sale, no GST, no PTT
3
Stock enters the Hope program on the same structured path to ownership
Values protected
Pricing is set once, at a fair underwritten number — not discounted to move volume on either path.
Developer flexibility
Full exit or equity-out while retaining ownership — the developer chooses what fits their position.
Ready today
Both structures are already built, underwritten, and tested — nothing new to design or launch.
Two ways in. One outcome. No buyout required.
