RFB Development

RFB Development is a small real estate development company based out of Kitchener, Ontario and was envisioned and founded by Ron Brohman in 2015. With the core belief that the investment in existing architecture can activate under-utilized spaces within a community, RFB Development approaches projects with an understanding that these vacant buildings can be re-envisioned through adaptive reuse in order to incite movements of revitalization within neighborhoods. The company strives to achieve a new development process that utilizes a hands-on approach and is very much neighborhood driven – engaging local residents in order to catalyze change and bring excitement to the development process. Good design has the ability to positively impact communities, neighbourhoods, and cities. RFB Development approaches the development of historically significant spaces with the intention of preserving the architectural heritage embedded in these buildings while providing spaces which remain relevant to the current residential demands of the community. This is achieved through a design process which respects the cultural significance of heritage resources and thoughtfully incorporates a community voice in the redevelopment process.
