The team behind Youville ONE combines real asset strategy, capital formation expertise, and disciplined execution across development, credit, and operating partnerships.
Jean-René Lemieux and Michael Roch lead the platform with a shared focus on long-term value creation, governance, and high-standard partnership development.
