Our Projects
Our Vision
To build a leading North American portfolio of wellness-focused hotels and Nordic spa destinations—where experience, design, and nature converge to create enduring value for guests, communities, and investors.
Saskatoon, SK
Ground-Up Nordic Wellness Resort, Saskatoon, Saskatchewan, Canada
Set along the fairways of Willow’s Golf Course, Scandvik Saskatoon is a purpose-built Nordic wellness resort designed from the ground up to embody the principles of hygge and friluftsliv—comfort, nature, and connection.
This 126 room Gloablly branded hotel will be anchored by a large-scale outdoor Nordic spa experience featuring thermal pools, saunas, cold plunges, and relaxation environments designed for year-round use in a true four-season climate. The property integrates seamlessly with the landscape, creating a retreat-like setting just minutes from the city.
Inside, guests experience a curated blend of Scandinavian design, wellness-focused food and beverage, and thoughtfully programmed spaces that encourage slowing down and being present. The hotel is complemented by a strong local and regional draw, with spa visitation expected to rival leading Nordic spa destinations across Canada.
Positioning:
A flagship Canadian resort demonstrating the full Scandvik brand vision—purpose-built, immersive, and designed for long-term brand scalability.
Minneapolis, MN
Adaptive Reuse Wellness Resort
Minneapolis Metro, USA
Located just outside Minneapolis, Scandvik transforms a former hotel into a next-generation wellness destination—bringing the Nordic spa concept to a major U.S. metropolitan market for the first time.
Overlooking a natural lake and surrounded by mature landscape, the property will be reimagined into a 130-key globally branded hotel with a fully integrated indoor and outdoor Nordic spa. The design leverages the site’s natural 9 acres to create a dramatic spa environment with lake views, thermal pools, sauna experiences, and immersive outdoor relaxation spaces.
This project represents a unique convergence of adaptive reuse and high-impact repositioning, turning an underutilized asset into a destination resort. With no direct Nordic spa competition in the Minneapolis market, the property is positioned to capture both hotel demand and a significant local wellness audience.
Positioning:
A high-growth U.S. flagship—unlocking a major urban market through conversion, speed to market, and strong revenue diversification.
