it's time to rebuild

Canoa is the first end-to-end design and construction platform for fast, adaptive, low-carbon commercial retrofits.

Our cities are changing. Technology and a global pandemic have littered the American landscape with empty office towers, shopping malls, urban retail corridors, hotels and parking garages.

Yet, most of us still lack access to healthy, walkable and affordable places to work, play and learn.

Adapting and modernizing our existing building stock is key to achieving these goals. It's time to finally leave the 20th century behind.

It's time to rebuild.
