Building better places to live, work and play, one home and one relationship at a time
Company and Leadership
There’s a Minto that’s made for you.
It all started with a simple belief: no matter who you are, where you're from, or where you're going, we're proudly building better places to live, work and play, one home and one relationship at a time. This belief has guided us since our humble beginnings in 1955. And as we continue to grow, our promise of a better home remains the same: whether it's the excitement of a new apartment or office space, the pride of owning your first home, the accomplishment of an empty nest, or a growing investment partnership, there’s a Minto that’s made for you.
OUR VALUES
Building better places to call home begins with doing what's right.
At the end of the day, our pride stems from our commitment to do what’s right. In times when it matters most, we let our values guide us: accomplishment, partnership, courage and innovation. That means hard work and honesty, a commitment to quality and craftsmanship, having the courage to stand for what we believe, and always holding ourselves accountable.
OUR HISTORY
Our story begins with this simple belief.
Over six decades after we started, we’ve successfully built a fully-integrated real estate company that can meet the needs of any individual, family, investor, or business. Every new venture, milestone, innovation, and investment has been born out of our mission to build healthy, thriving, vibrant communities, and we couldn’t be more proud of all we’ve achieved.

The future is full of promise.

Success isn’t measured in square feet.
As proud as we are of our accomplishments, we’ve never measured our success in square feet or the number of shiny plaques lining our shelves. To us, it’s all about special moments like helping a young family from another country thrive in their new home or finding an affordable apartment for a student living on her own for the first time. It’s finding new ways to help everyone live better by living greener, healthier, smarter and brighter together. That’s the real privilege of doing what we do each and every day. That’s the true mark of success.
