Dorsay Development Corporation is an established firm involved in several real estate investments in the Greater Toronto Area since the 1980s. Dorsay has developed and owned significant properties in the residential, office and retail sectors. Through strategic partnerships with Tridel, Oxford, Alberta Investment Management Corporation, Bazil Developments and Heathwood Homes, Dorsay has increased in prominence in the past fifteen years. In that period Dorsay has sold over 4,500 residential units, acquired a 50% interest in approximately 1.0 million square feet of commercial office space and acquired 100% interest in approximately 265,000 square feet of commercial office space within the GTA and commenced the development of greenfield development properties. Dorsay is currently focused on residential development and office investment sectors.
Dorsay takes great pride in building communities. Ranging from high-rise condominiums to greenfield low-rise residential subdivisions, the communities we develop and construct are unique and pleasant environments that enhance the lifestyle of residents. We put people at the centre of everything we do. Time and again, Dorsay has built well planned, vibrant communities that stand testimony to our drive for excellence.
Dorsay Development acquired one-third interest in two parcels of land in Richmond Hill in 2009. These two subdivisions are known as Forestbrook and Woodlands. Forestbrook consists of 82 homes and 54 townhouses with a 4.5 acre park and a 4.6 acre commercial site. Woodlands consist of 131 homes in four distinct clusters separated by open space and valley lands
Dorsay has partnered with leading names in both commercial and residential sectors. We strongly believe that creating partnerships helps to improve our projects and our financial performance. In choosing partners, we look for complementary strengths, aligned visions and a degree of integrity beyond reproach that matches ours. With our financial stability, market leadership and experienced management, we bring a wealth of real estate strengths to the table. In short, it's more than a partnership, it’s a meeting of minds for a productive, enriching, long-term relationship.
