Tamarack Homes

Our Ottawa home builder legacy was born when Harold Taggart began transforming streets in Eastern Ontario into new houses for sale in Ottawa for returning war veterans in 1948. A high standard was set from the beginning - more than just new homes in Ottawa, they were where lives would unfold and futures be realized. They had to be the best. Today, that proud legacy and dedication to excellence continues through the hands-on efforts of his family and Tamarack Homes. Each owner of a new home in Ottawa and Kingston is assured the same quality craftsmanship and attention to detail that Harold insisted on.

Options for Homes

Options for Homes is Canada’s largest non-profit developer of attainable ownership housing. As a non-profit social enterprise our sole mission is to make homeownership more accessible for people who have a good income, but are having trouble building up a down payment. We do that through The Options Ready Program, which is designed to help people become confident home buyers, provide financial literacy, and access to a shared equity down payment that helps make ownership more affordable. We have been in operation since 1994 and we’ve won nine industry awards. Our 15th condo is currently under development. The cornerstone of this developer’s objectives is being able to help people achieve their homeownership dreams by implementing cost saving measures, as well as offering down payment support through their down payment “pay it forward” system. The pay it forward systems is an internationally recognized and award-winning model that is completely user generated. It is entirely supported by the repaid loans of the homeowners, and there’s no government assistance. They help with the down payment by subsidizing between 10-15% of the purchasing amount. Prospective homeowners just need to make sure that they’re able to contribute 5% of the total Purchase Price. The homeowner will only need to pay back that amount when they sell their unit, but they can also choose to pay the amount back before that if they wish. Instead of interest, homeowners just need to pay back the percentage of the current value of the property. For example, if you borrowed 15% to buy a $300,000 condo, but the condo’s value when you sell is $400,000, then you’ll need to repay the 15% of the $400,000. This simple method has not only made it possible for more people to buy homes, but it also ensures that the developer can increase value of the properties in which they build. Helping people achieve their homeownership dreams They are able to offer this service through their partnership with another non-profit called Home Ownership Alternatives, but they have other important partnerships too. They have also partnered with financial institutions like the Bank of Montreal, TD Bank, and Meridian Credit Union. They also get support from Tridel’s third party construction arm called Deltera. Even with this type of support, buying new condos can be pretty daunting, so that’s why they also host a free educational seminar. Condos 101 walks you through the basics of buying a home like picking a mortgage that works for you, how you’re protected by Tarion, and much more. In addition to their goals of distributing wealth and homeownership throughout a larger percentage of the population, they also want to build developments that are environmentally sustainable. They implement green features like solar hot water heating, heat recovery ventilation systems in the corridors, timed lights in the underground parking, and a car sharing system that automatically comes with your unit. These green features are also cost cutting measure capable of saving you between 30-40% on your energy bill. This developer's good intentions have taken the industry by storm, and they have become an award winning builder in the process. Their awards include the City Builder Award from Canadian Urban Institute in 2015, Ontario Masonry Design Award for Architectural Design: Residential High Rise for The Village by High Park in 2014, Canadian Condominium Institute Condo of the Year for Liberty at Discovery Place in Pickering in 2013, and much more. This is not your typical condo developer. They build with the admirable mission of dispersing home ownership to those who may otherwise not be able to afford becoming homeowners. They do this in a sustainable and responsible way that doesn’t require government support, and they are transforming the city in the process.

Allegra Homes

Allegra Homes has made an impact throughout the Greater Toronto Area for a number of years. They have built a variety of new homes throughout our city, and are looking to continue making an impact on the lives of their home owners. They have pledged to create the best homes possible because of their passion for the home. They believe that the home is the most important place in the world, and while they recognize that it may sound cliche, it truly drives how they build their developments. They’ve set their sights on building upon a cultural institution in eastern Toronto, where they will preserve the area’s heritage while adding their own flair. This won’t be the first time they plan on augmenting historical locations as they’ve been contributing to salvaging heritage buildings in Toronto for years. Today Allegra Homes is dedicated to developing and building residential communities. They have exceptional projects throughout the GTA, and are committed to continuing doing so. They build condos, townhouses, luxury custom homes, and as they like to say - all sorts of stuff! Their history stems back to over 40 years ago when they began as a family company, but they didn’t begin building homes. They started by mostly building for private companies. In the beginning they built office buildings, plazas, and commercial space. All sorts of stuff indeed! Why did they move over to building homes? Perhaps they saw the huge potential for home building in the Greater Toronto Area, or maybe it was because of their passion for creating a superior home. They truly believe that the home is the most important place in the world, and this guides their corporate philosophy built on honesty, integrity, and respect. Their dedication to injecting their love of their own homes into each property they build has earned them a reputation of hands on professionalism and unwavering customer satisfaction. It also drives them to build the best homes and condos. Their experience and philosophy have granted this developer to have a deep understanding of customer expectations, and they strive to meet and exceed those expectations at every turn. They are responsible for building throughout the Greater Toronto Area. They’ve built residential communities in places like Milton, Mississauga, and Maple, and have also created ‘villages’ like Merton Street and Delisle Court. They were also responsible for the Victorian salvages in the iconic Annex neighbourhood. They are currently undertaking another project to revitalize a place whose heritage is entwined with the area. The Blue Goose Tavern in Mimico has been a cultural institution partly because of it’s proximity to the Mimico GO stop, but also its longevity. It started as the Windsor Public House in the 1900’s, but in the 1970’s it was changed to the Blue Goose Tavern. Located on the eponymously named Blue Goose Avenue, Allegra has put forth a proposal to building condos on top of the Blue Goose Tavern while maintaining its facade. The development would add more density to the booming Mimico area. This developer has demonstrated an astounding display of love for the home, and that is why they’re working hard to instil their passion into every one of their projects. Their work throughout the GTA is evidence of their dedication to the home. Understanding the importance of heritage and community, they’re working on revitalizing important elements of historic neighbourhoods like their salvaging project in the Annex and their development on the Blue Goose Tavern in Mimico. We’re looking forward to how they plan on continuing building fantastic homes and revitalizing the Greater Toronto Area.
