About

Built for Investors

Spruce Design Build was created with one goal in mind: to make real estate development accessible, efficient, and profitable for investors. Founded by seasoned developer Chris Thorne, Spruce brings an investor's perspective to every build, focusing on intelligent site selection, thoughtful design, and long-term value. Since 2018, we've been specializing in infill projects across Winnipeg, helping clients confidently grow their portfolios with brand-new rental properties tailored for today's market.

Invest With Confidence

Our process was built with investors in mind. From identifying underused lots to designing and delivering multi-family homes that attract great tenants, every step is thoughtfully managed to save you time, reduce risk, and maximize return. Whether you need a full turk-key solution or support at a specific stage, Spruce makes building your next rental property feel like a strategic, confident move.
