Our Story


Born from a bold idea.

Built into a leading Canadian alternative lender.

In 2001, Rob Goodall saw an opportunity to transform real estate financing in Canada.  

At the time, alternative capital solutions were limited, often dominated by developers and lawyers, and lacking the structure and service borrowers needed. Determined to bridge this gap, Rob set out to introduce a new kind of financing partner.

A partner built on reliability, high quality service, and a deep understanding of the real estate landscape. Over the past two decades, Rob’s vision has shaped the foundation of Atrium, an institution that continues to redefine what alternative financing can be.

Today, Atrium remains at the forefront, helping build the future of real estate in Canada.
