lourish Development Group is a PEIbased real estate developer founded in 2016 by five newcomer families to the Island. Robert Chang, CEO and president of Flourish, moved to PEI from China with his family over five years ago. “I knew PEI was where I wanted to plant my roots,” he says. “I am honoured to be contributing to such a wonderful community, and to be raising my family here.” “Mr. Chang is a visionary, and an incredibly supportive leader,” says Jen Du, Robert’s assistant, and director of sales and marketing with Flourish. “He always aims to bring Chinese and Canadian cultures together. We see PEI as our second home, and we want to make a difference here.” Flourish has many notable projects in the works, including the new Foxwoods subdivision in Stratford. Foxwoods is a 68acre property, and Flourish intends to build around 160 lots. More than 30 per cent of the property has been devoted to parks, and to preserving the natural forest.

“We want people in the community to share and enjoy the green space,” says Du. From the beginning, focus was on creating an environmentally friendly and sustainable space, as well as providing safety and convenience for residents. “The town of Stratford has been very supportive of the project, and the community has given lots of feedback,” she says. The subdivision is currently in Phase I of development.
