Incorporated in 1999, Woodsmere is a Victoria based, vertically integrated holding corporation specializing in land acquisitions, multi-family design, purpose-built rental development, and in-house property management. With a strong reputation as one of the industry’s leading apartment rental companies, we maintain and operate a real estate portfolio of purpose-built rental apartments across Western Canada. Registered in the provinces of British Columbia and Alberta, our focus is the rental of multi-family residential apartments as well as, commercial and single-family home developments, and some townhome style housing projects.
With a mission to provide accessible accommodation, we undertake extensive market research studies and have identified and focused on communities with a critical shortage of multi-family apartment style housing units available for rent. Taking a walk through Woodsmere’s journey, the reflection of our dedication and innovation is represented in each of our developments and the collective experience of our team.
Focused on long-term solutions, Woodsmere is united in our goal to bring quality tenants and properties together. Building homes since 1999, we are proud to be a well-known and respected brand who has a strong reputation as an industry-leading rental company backed by professionalism, passion, and experience.
President Danny Jadresko and his wife, Sandy, the comptroller, own and operate W&J Construction Ltd. and their symbiotic rental property management company, Woodsmere Holdings Corp. This dynamic duo is well known and respected throughout the sector for their keen understanding of leadership responsibilities, creative problem solving, and strategic planning. In the community, they are recognized for their numerous philanthropic contributions.
Pairing complimentary companies, Woodsmere focuses on long-term goals, while W&J utilizes its award-winning reputation to build the best construction projects in the marketplace.
Since his entrance in the industry three decades ago, Danny has worked in virtually every aspect of construction, in addition to serving as a Director of several trade associations. His numerous designations include being a Registered Housing Professional (R.H.P.), Certified Residential Builder (C.R.B.) and R2000 Quality Plus Builder. He has earned a diploma from the B.C. Institute of Technology, as well as earning numerous certificates for Construction Management Programs.
Cody Jadresko has been immersed in the world of Land Development & Construction since a young age, with the goal of leading Woodsmere Holdings Corp. and W&J Construction Ltd. into the future. Raised in the industry by his mother, Sandy Jadresko (Comptroller), and his father, Danny Jadresko (President), Cody was taught how to manage and operate the family businesses. He has been operating heavy equipment since a young age and pursued post-secondary education studying business at both UVic & Camosun College.
Cody has accumulated vast knowledge and experience by attending business meetings with architects, engineers, consultants, and bankers, as well as by working side by side with his parents. Over time, Cody has developed a keen eye for finding prime development sites and designing site layouts with in-house designers.
As Danny & Sandy Jadresko step away from day-to-day operations, Cody has stepped in, adding a youthful perspective and bringing new, innovative ideas to Woodsmere and W&J, ensuring their future expansion and success.
