Toronto, Canada - October 14, 2025 - New things are happening in Canadian commercial real estate. Department stores, food courts, and movie theaters that once anchored the shopping centers are now being replaced by multipurpose complexes. There are gyms, medical clinics, co-working offices, and even residential towers that are replacing the conventional occupiers.

HyperIn, a PropTech company established in 2008 in Helsinki, thinks it can assist. The company has spent nearly two decades refining a digital platform that consolidates property management into a single, integrated system. Already deployed in more than 300 malls, business parks, airports, and mixed-use projects across Europe and Asia, HyperIn is now preparing to expand into North America, with Canada identified as a priority market. For a nation with as diverse a property profile, from the great metropolitan hubs of Toronto and Vancouver to smaller regional ones throughout the provinces, the capacity to deal with complexity through a single system is especially applicable.

The firm's platform integrates three key functions. Manage addresses daily needs through dashboards, reporting automation tools, and tenant self-service platforms. These elements are focused on simplifying the communication between landlords and tenants with less administrative workload. Monetize is revenue-focused, allowing for short-term and specialty leasing, rentals, and campaign booking that can drive owners' top-line property income. Connect is focused on end-user experience and provides features like loyalty programs, AR-based wayfinding, and digital signage to engage visitors and create frictionless journeys in properties. HyperIn feels that by bringing all three of these areas together under one umbrella, property managers and owners can get past piecing things together in a patchwork manner and have better visibility, allowing operations to not only be more effective but more responsive to change as well.

HyperIn summarizes its purpose as simply "to simplify commercial property management through technology and expertise." Markus Porvari, Founder & CEO, has echoed that message repeatedly. "Omni-channel isn't a choice; it's a necessity," he said in a 2024 interview. Our industry must change as the distinctions between digital and physical media become more hazy. Timo Arnivuo, a co-founder, has also played a key role in determining the company's long-term course, making sure the platform keeps developing in line with the demands of both landlords and renters. Collectively, they have led HyperIn from its infancy as a Finnish start-up to a multinational corporation with offices across several continents.

The message is especially timely in Canada. The retail and commercial property market is worth over $160 billion, yet much of it is still operating with legacy systems and manual processes. A 2024 report by PwC flagged technology adoption and sustainability as key areas of investment for the Canadian real estate sector. HyperIn's platform is well-suited to meet both of these priorities by offering digital infrastructure for modernization and integrated solutions to enable ESG reporting. To landlords, this translates into the potential to roll multiple dispersed functions into a single system that not only saves time and funds but also assists in meeting ever-tighter compliance demands.

ESG requirements are now at the forefront of property management. Regulators, investors, and tenants all anticipate quantifiable performance metrics and transparent reporting. HyperIn's platform addresses these needs by converting historically paper-based activities into digital operations, connecting with energy-monitoring solutions, and producing standardized reports. These capabilities serve not just to ensure landlords' compliance with regulations but also to be able to show progress to stakeholders. Porvari underscored this in ACROSS Magazine when he wrote: "As the lines blur between physical and digital spaces, placemaking has to fully commit to hybrid models which draw on real-time data and user feedback." For him, technology is not merely about efficiency but also about developing properties that are sustainable, adaptive, and more attuned to the communities they engage.

Canadian properties are already heading in that direction. Large malls in Vancouver and Toronto are adding entertainment complexes, food halls, and residential elements. Regional malls in secondary cities are experimenting with new formats to draw tenants and shoppers. Business parks and mixed-use developments are incorporating health care, education, and hospitality services. These tactics produce new revenue streams but also make operations more complex. Every added layer of use implies an additional layer of management. HyperIn's value proposition is that its platform will be able to take this complexity, so the managers do not have to think about day-to-day problem-solving but can concentrate on long-term strategy.

The company has established credibility overseas. It was a Red Herring Europe finalist in 2012 and a Red Herring Global finalist in 2014, distinctions reserved for innovative and rapidly developing technology companies. Its achievements have been featured in global trade magazines, such as ACROSS Magazine, and the firm has been invited to speak at international real estate and technology forums. These achievements have cemented HyperIn's reputation not just as a technology firm but also as an industry thought leader in the emerging PropTech space.

For its Canadian market, HyperIn intends to localize its operations. The firm anticipates collaborating with local distributors and opening a local office to offer direct support and training. For Porvari, this is about more than a temporary business strategy. "It's about creating sustainable, engaging, and profitable places for the future of urban life," he says, adding that long-term commitment is crucial for developing trust in new markets.

There are challenges, though, and these tend to be over budgets and adoption rate. Canadian landlords are sometimes hesitant to spend on new technology, particularly during times of economic volatility. Yet the broader trends cannot be denied. Consumer behavior is shifting, e-commerce is expanding, and the function of physical assets is changing. In the absence of modern management systems, many assets will struggle to cope.

HyperIn is wagering that its success in Europe and Asia will speak to Canadian landlords seeking tried-and-true solutions. With almost two decades of history, the firm is positioning itself not just as a technology supplier but also as a long-term collaborator in changing the face of Canadian commercial real estate. The risks are great. Some buildings will dwindle, while others will prosper by going along. For those willing to change, HyperIn thinks that its platform offers the digital foundation required to thrive.
