KATASA GROUP
We are a family lead and managed company
Each of us has worked for over ten years full-time within the company, but we have been participating since 12. The company was started over 30 years ago with its first significant endeavor, Résidence de l’Île, one of the pioneer retirement homes in the Outaouais region. Since then, the company has grown, and we are honoured to contribute to that growth. We share the original vision to continue developing well-designed properties within the Ottawa-Gatineau region.
Our passion, is you. What is yours?
At KATASA, we have your best interests at heart. Everyone is treated as a member of the family. We offer a healthy and positive work environment where mutual support, openness, and transparency are among the values we embody and wish to share with you. You will always find an open door to facilitate dialogue.
“Back to the roots”
“Life is full of surprises! Returning to the Résidence de l’Île was a remarkable experience that filled me with gratitude. After leaving my position as General Manager in 2010, I was delighted to accept the offer to return to the company that had such a profound impact on my career.”

General manager
“I love caring for seniors”
“I arrived in Montreal in 2000 to pursue nursing studies in Quebec. In 2004, I decided to move to Outaouais with my two children. When I had my third child, I realized that working in the hospital had become difficult. I started looking for a new job and submitted my resume to Village Riviera. After meeting with the team, I was hired and have been very happy working at Katasa ever since. This job has allowed me to balance my work and family life, as the hours are flexible and adapt well to my needs. It is the only company that has allowed me to prove myself as an immigrant.”

“it's been a rewarding experience”
“I’ve been working at Katasa since 2016, and I can confidently say that it’s been a rewarding experience. What I love about working here is the opportunity to be involved in the development process. This has allowed me to perfect my skills and gain valuable insights into the real estate market. I highly recommend Katasa to anyone seeking a challenging and fulfilling career.”

“There is a strong sense of warmth”
“I have been working with Katasa for 7 years now and I still love it! As a family-run business of a father and his 3 daughters, there is a strong sense of warmth, friendliness, and familiarity at Katasa that sets it apart from other workplaces. The company’s leadership is extremely hands-on and present on their properties, making themselves accessible to their staff at all times. One of the things I appreciate most about working for Katasa is their willingness to listen to their employees and value their input. They create an environment that fosters opportunity and growth, providing a constant source of motivation for us to improve and excel in our roles.”

General Manager
“The first company I worked for”
“Katasa was the first company I worked for after graduating from college in Canada as an immigrant. Initially, I was unfamiliar with Canadian architecture and design, but Katasa demonstrated trust in me and provided me with an opportunity to learn everything about it. From design coordination to site checks and working with trades, I gained valuable experience and expertise in my field.”
