Sustainability

A A A

We bring sites back to life that would otherwise sit untouched.
Through environmental clean-up and adaptive reuse projects we are able to reintegrate sites back into their local communities.

The environmental management work is financed through development work.

Our Strategic Priority of sustainability at Build Toronto means unlocking the value of dormant land and helping the City realize the potential of its real estate.
