About Us
Our Story

Morris Kowall
At Royop, we know the value of experience. Ours spans over 50 years, beginning when our founder Morris Kowall built Western Canada’s first enclosed mall. Since then, we’ve been committed to developing, managing, leasing and constructing, top-quality commercial and retail centres in Western Canada.
For Industry Partners, Developers and Tenants, the experience of working with Royop is second-to-none. We know relationships are the cornerstone of our business, which is why we focus on people first. In an ever-changing industry, our team is a constant, our employees count their time with Royop in decades, not years. This ensures efficiency in our process, consistency for our partners, and ease of access to our key decision-makers.
For shoppers, we are committed to delivering an exceptional experience at every Royop retail centre. From aesthetics and traffic flow, to the personal touches that matter, we ensure our shoppers experiences are convenient, enjoyable and memorable.
Experience was paramount when we began and continues to be the defining characteristic of everything we do.
Our Vision
Our team of cutting edge professionals deliver innovative and dynamic experiences to our partners and clients. From concept and development, to construction and managing properties, we strive to create long term relationships. Always looking to bring state of the art and unique concepts to the market, we are a company that gets the job done.
