The smart-building and resident-experience platform will use the non-dilutive capital to expand sales across North America.
What does the company do? 1VALET provides multifamily owners and operators with a single platform connecting building access, resident experiences, and property operations. It consolidates fragmented building technologies into one system, aiming to improve efficiency and streamline management.
Why debt, not equity? The facility preserves shareholder value by avoiding a dilutive equity round. "This facility lets us invest directly in our North American growth, expand our sales capabilities, and continue delivering the technology and service our customers rely on every day," said chief executive officer Demetrios Barnes.
What's the endgame? The capital will primarily fund commercial expansion — growing sales and market presence across Canada and the United States. Barnes said the aim is to "bring the 1VALET platform to more multifamily portfolios across North America."
What the lender says: "Our focus is delivering capital solutions that help Canadian companies execute their strategic plans and pursue opportunities for expansion," said Matt Tedford, senior vice president and head of Roynat Capital.
The signal: As multifamily operators move to simplify technology stacks and gain portfolio-wide visibility, 1VALET is positioning its platform as the operating layer linking residents, properties, and management teams.
