About Nestify

One lot.
A whole community.

A nest isn't a single structure — it's a place where several lives are held together. That's the idea behind the name: Nestify builds homes the way a neighbourhood should work — several dwellings on one site, each finished to be a real home.

We're a development company, not a volume builder. Every project is led personally, costed honestly, and built to last — so more homes doesn't have to mean less craft.

What we stand for

Built for life.
Designed to belong.

Home

Thoughtfully designed homes.

Growth

Building value for the future.

Community

Stronger neighbourhoods.

Edwin Lau — Principal, Kecerra

Edwin Lau

Principal, Kecerra · Project Lead, Barker

Edwin Lau brings nearly two decades of international design leadership to Nestify's Barker multiplex — the kind of calibre rarely found on a Burnaby infill project. A Vancouver-trained architect who went on to direct major mixed-use, residential, and hospitality work across Hong Kong and mainland China as a Director at Kohn Pedersen Fox, Edwin returns his global perspective to the market where his career began. He now leads Kecerra, his own Hong Kong-based design and development practice, and brings that same rigour — balancing planning efficiency, cost discipline, and design impact — to every home in the Barker development. It's a rare pairing of world-class pedigree and hometown roots, in service of Nestify's commitment to Building Better Neighbourhoods.
