Financial Controller

About Oldstreet

Oldstreet is not your typical real estate developer. We are a boutique, vertically integrated company that blends passion, creativity, and fresh thinking into everything we do. Founded in 2018, we are focused on building better homes, better communities, and a better Calgary-and we're only getting started.

To date, Oldstreet has successfully built or is in the process of developing 258+ homes across 15+ projects in Calgary, Banff, and Costa Rica. Our assets under development, construction, and management exceed $115 million, and we're actively expanding both locally and abroad. We're a young, growing company with bold ambitions-and we are looking for top-tier talent to help us achieve them.

As a small but actively growing team, every person's contributions are visible, valued, and crucial to our success. If you're looking to be a core member of a growing company that is dynamic, ambitious, and doing exciting work, we would love to meet you.
