Bringing Love Back Into the Room

We don’t like playing by rules that suck — we never have.

For years, Darren Fleming thought his job was to bring value and save people money on rent — that this was the key to keeping clients happy. And he did it well. But the real estate industry was (and is) cutthroat, and watching colleagues put profit over people wore him down. Darren burned out.

Then came fall 2005. He was called into his boss’ office and fired. No warning, no kindness — just a brick to the gut. Darren walked out stunned. But also… free. 

It was a chance to start over — not from scratch, but from love, vision, and everything the military taught him about building teams that have each other’s backs. A chance to design the strategic, human-centred real estate experience people actually deserve.

RealStrategy is about more than office space. It’s a way of helping organizations that love their people bring love back into the room. It’s a bold movement to create environments where people feel seen, supported, and inspired.

Joyful people. All over the world. At their best. At work.

A Vision of Love

We envision a world where people at work are at their best. Where work is collaborative, productive, and joyful. A world where people feel seen, supported, and inspired by their environment to show up stronger and achieve more. A workspace isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a foundation for meaningful and measurable success.

A Mission of Love

We help organizations design and build workspaces that work for them — spaces that support productivity, culture, and real results. By aligning human needs with business goals, we transform offices into engines for growth, collaboration, and long-term success.

Commercial real estate for organizations that love their people.

We’re the commercial real estate folks who just can’t stop talking about love. Because we know it’s essential to happiness and business success, we’re on a mission to infuse it into workspaces everywhere.

We create thriving environments for people who truly care. Every day, we partner with visionary leaders who love their teams and see space as a tool for performance, innovation, and growth. From strategy to design to build, we put people at the heart of every square foot, fulfilling real human needs at work and unlocking joy and success for both people and their organizations.

Built On Love and Purpose

We’re people-first, always — in how we work, how we serve, and how we show up.

Collaboration and empathy fuels everything we do, and we lead with humility, integrity, and heart. We believe in creating space where people and business thrive. The culture, joy, and progress we build for clients start right here, with us.
