The Organization

Decker Corporation is a group of companies that has operated in a number of areas including health care, business management, land development, and residential/commercial construction.

Decker provided health care management in British Columbia between1979 and 2016. The primary focus of this service had been the exclusive operations and development of Long Term Care Nursing Homes including Normandy Hospital in Vancouver, Parkridge Private Hospital and Holyrood Manor in Maple Ridge, Sandringham Hospital in Victoria and Simpson Manor in Fort Langley, British Columbia. In 2016, the company exited health care services.

Land development, including single and multi-family home construction has been a focus of Decker for over 25 years, and from 2016 has become the primary focus of the organization. Currently operating in Calgary Alberta, our dedication to quality homes which match the characteristics of their communities has secured us an excellent reputation with home buyers and the communities in which we develop.
