QuickTake: StrataPress and a Decade of Steady Progress in Strata Technology

When Portfolio.YVR last featured Sean Jordan and Paul Vanderzee of StrataPress, the company was already challenging long-held assumptions in British Columbia’s strata management industry. At its core was a simple but powerful idea: strata corporations should own their data, have transparent access to their records, and operate in compliance with the Strata Property Act, whether they were professionally managed or self-managed.

A decade later, that founding principle has not changed. What has changed is the scale, sophistication, and ambition of the platform behind it.

Now marking its 10-year anniversary, StrataPress has quietly grown into one of British Columbia’s most widely used strata technology platforms, serving hundreds of additional strata corporations since the original feature was published in Portfolio.YVR. That growth has been driven less by hype and more by consistent execution, regulatory awareness, and close collaboration with the people doing the work on the ground.

One of the most significant evolutions has been StrataPress’s investment in artificial intelligence, developed in partnership with industry leaders, strata managers, and strata owners themselves. Rather than positioning AI as a replacement for professional judgment, StrataPress has focused on practical assistance. The platform’s AI tools are designed to reduce administrative burden, improve response consistency, and help users find accurate information faster, all while respecting the legal boundaries that govern strata operations in British Columbia.

This measured approach to AI led StrataPress to take a further step by investing directly in an AI technology company, ensuring long-term control over development, data governance, and Canadian data residency. The result is an AI roadmap shaped by real-world strata workflows rather than generic automation.

In parallel with its technology investments, StrataPress completed a full brand refresh in 2025, launching a new logo and website that better reflect the maturity of the platform and the breadth of services now being developed. The rebrand was less about reinvention and more about alignment, bringing the visual identity in line with what users had already come to rely on.

Looking ahead, StrataPress is expanding into bookkeeping and accounting tools specifically designed for self-managed strata corporations. These features are being built with the same philosophy that guided the original platform: practical, compliant, and easy to adopt. To complement this, StrataPress is actively exploring partnerships with British Columbia strata law firms to provide self-managed stratas with access to administrative support and legal expertise when it is needed most.

As the company enters 2026, StrataPress is also preparing to relocate back to Vancouver, returning to the region where much of its growth, networking, and future partnerships will be concentrated. It is a move that signals confidence, stability, and readiness for the next phase of expansion.

After ten years, StrataPress remains what it has always been: a quietly ambitious company, focused on doing the hard work well, and building tools that respect both the complexity of strata governance and the people who carry that responsibility every day.
