Continuing their commitment to investing in the communities where they build, leading city builder VANDYK Properties leads the regeneration of The Mimico Triangle
TORONTO, Nov. 16, 2020 /CNW/ - Vandyk Group of Companies, the leading city builder in real estate development and investments, announces its reintroduction as VANDYK Properties. As a privately owned real estate development and investment management company with over 40 years of experience in the North American real estate property sector, VANDYK Properties, who represents over one billion dollars in completed value creation and over one billion dollars in owned assets under development, will continue its commitment to creating sustainable neighbourhoods while also placing a strategic focus on investment management under its new name.
"We are, and always have been committed to investing in the cities that we believe and choose to build in, carefully considering each project as a reinvestment within the community," says John Vandyk, Founder, President and CEO of VANDYK Properties. "Focused on strategic growth, our vision is to continue to generate long-term value for our clients and foster strong relationships with our investors; all while delivering exceptional customer experiences."
The Mimico Triangle Revitalization
Under the new VANDYK Properties, the brand is pleased to be presenting the new master-planned and transit-tailored community, Grand Central Mimico. Dedicated to revitalizing The Mimico Triangle located in South Etobicoke, which has been recognized as a priority "Regeneration Area" by the City of Toronto, VANDYK is committed to and is underway in the master planning of this area as majority owners in this new district. VANDYK's holdings within Grand Central Mimico encompasses over two million square feet of planned mixed-use development that spans over four city blocks and nine towers, anchored by over 1.85 million square feet of new residential living.
A vibrant, all-inclusive, and future proof neighbourhood, the community will feature modern amenities, as well as open public spaces and winding parks all well within close proximity to Toronto's downtown core. At the heart of this new district will be a modern reconstruction of the Mimico GO station with integrated access points to several new mixed-use buildings which will connect residents to downtown Toronto and the future Ontario Line in partnership with Metrolinx.
"We've seen that there is a growing demand and a real value proposition around the outer rings of the City of Toronto that are integrated nicely with both the downtown core and the suburbs of Toronto," says Sherman Chan, VP, Managing Director, Real Estate, VANDYK Properties. "Grand Central Mimico is catering to this demand; it is a neighbourhood that we believe will become Etobicoke's most significant and relevant community with mobility and infrastructure at the forefront."
