Mattamy Homes started construction on three multi-residential communities. Ground-breaking events were held for Westbend on Bloor Street West in Toronto, Mile & Creek in Milton, and Martha James in Burlington.

Launched this past November, Westbend is the first pre-construction condo within 500 metres of High Park in more than five years. The 13-storey project features 174 suites and was designed by Quadrangle Architects. The work to begin on site will be the drilling of boreholes required for the geothermal system, which is a sustainable approach to heating and cooling that leverages the constant temperature of the earth.

Mile & Creek, the first phase of a six-building master-planned condo community in Milton, backs onto protected greenspace and will also rely on geothermal heating and cooling.

Martha James Condominiums in Burlington launched early last year. Graziani + Corazza Architects’ design features warm brick masonry and a glass façade that mirrors the sky and lake. The amenity-rich 13-storey development is located steps from downtown and close to the shore of Lake Ontario.

Mattamy’s GTA Urban Division launched in the summer of 2021, to expand and enhance the company’s multi-family, mid- and high-rise offering in the GTA. The Division has a roster of 40 high-rise and multi-family developments within its master-planned communities in the Greater Toronto market, and its pipeline has grown to over 13,700 suites across 19 communities.

“These three communities, along with Clockwork and Soleil Condo communities represent the first slate of sales launches for the GTA Urban Division, which was formed in response to the region’s ongoing need for increased density and greater affordability,” said Alison O’Neill, vice-president, sales, marketing and design studio for Mattamy’s GTA Urban Division “So far, the positive and welcome response to each of these communities tells us that we’re on the right track.”
