Denis Jones is growing neighborhoods to shape the future.

Born in South Africa. Trained in the United States. Denis was a medical doctor in Regina, Saskatchewan when he saw the potential upsides of placing capital in local neighborhoods. He started out by investing in multifamily properties. When the oil boom took hold and the market heated up, Denis decided it was time to build something of his own.

From that entrepreneurial spark, The Deveraux Group of Companies was born in 2008. Denis initially teamed with a small, existing construction company. He then raised private equity from across his network, establishing what is now a multifamily rental apartment development, construction and management business.

Innovating and integrating to create billions in value

Denis set the business apart by forging strategic partnerships and vertically integrating operations. His strategy has grown Devereaux’s portfolio to $2 billion+ in value. How? The group overcame supply chain hurdles by creating separate manufacturing companies that dial down Deveraux’s dependence on other suppliers. Through the Auctus property income fund, Deveraux enables accredited investors to participate in the group’s projects and benefit from the properties’ steady income and capital appreciation.

A purposeful mission to nurture communities

Under Denis’s leadership, Deveraux creates and delivers Class A quality, sustainable and affordable housing solutions for diverse communities across Western Canada. All the while, the company allocates profit to causes supporting at-risk communities.
