From Generation to Generation: Building to Better Give Back to the Community
Driven by the values passed down through their family, the Lachance brothers are joining forces to give back to their community through a major philanthropic initiative. Julien Lachance, President of Gestion Émavi Inc., and Patrick Lachance, President and CEO of Les Entreprises Lachance, have thus chosen to make a planned donation of $500,000 to the University of Sherbrooke to support the creation of the Interdisciplinary Institute for Learning, Research, and High Performance in Physical Activity Sciences.
Les Entreprises Lachance: Three Generations, One Passion—Building and Giving Back
June 6, 2025
Since 1962, the name Lachance has been synonymous with real estate in the Estrie region. In fact, Léandre Lachance was the first to blaze a trail by founding Les Entreprises Lachance, which, at the time, specialized primarily in real estate investment.
Then, in 1980, he made a major shift by offering land for sale to contractors and private individuals. In 1994, his son Patrick joined him as co-owner and director of operations. He contributed significantly to the company’s growth by becoming a general contractor and, starting in 1997, building and selling new homes.
Since then, enthusiasm has spread within this family of developers, who are truly passionate about their craft. In fact, Sylvie Lachance, Patrick’s sister, partially manages the finance department as controller, while his son, Louis-Olivier Roy—Léandre’s grandson—joined the company in 2009. He is now a co-owner and director of operations and acquisitions. Continuing to groom the next generation for key positions, Patrick, now president and CEO, has since welcomed two of his sons: Édouard, who works in rental management, and Louis-Thomas, who serves as assistant to the finance department.

Through this transformation, which modernizes their image, one thing remains constant: their passion for providing living spaces that resonate with their clients and delivering unparalleled construction quality.

March 6, 2010
Initially, the Lachance father and son did business as landowners, as Patrick Lachance,
the company’s general manager, explains: “My father works with me, and he owned some sites. At that time, we weren’t general contractors. We took the opposite approach from most builders, who start by buying land.”
We’ll soon have sold and delivered our 1,000th home

How much extra should I expect to pay?” buyers asked him. “There are never any unpleasant surprises,” replies Patrick Lachance, president of Les Entreprises Lachance, a construction contractor in the Estrie region. “Clients already feel more at ease when they know their budget will be respected.”

It’s been a whirlwind at Les Entreprises Lachance, a residential construction contractor. Since 2001, the number of homes built has doubled—96 in 2004—and the company is set to do even better in 2005, with more than 100 homes planned.And why are customers so drawn to homes built by Les Entreprises Lachance?
