A Proven Track Record
Kingsway Arms Management Services (KAMS) was established in 1997 by Patrick Byrne to provide acquisition, development and management services for retirement residences in suburban centres and towns.
KAMS is focused on creating a branded portfolio of retirement residences across Canada representing the mid-market independent / supportive living niche.
Kingsway Arms properties have the look, feel and experience of a quaint inn where “everybody knows your name”. Think of us as a hotel for seniors, like a Holiday Inn.
