LANDSCAPE-FIRST DEVELOPMENT

Changing the development landscape. 

Municipalities and conservation authorities want landscape-architecture that considers and understands the natural environment. We established our niche in support of this undervalued trend. We work intimately and collaboratively with these groups from the onset of a development, delivering clients immense value throughout the process:

• cost savings;
• transparency;
• efficiency;
• expedited approvals;
• strong local relationships.

Where technology has gone hyperlocal, real estate landscape-architecture has experienced challenges. It's our mission to change that. We've grown with the suburban municipalities in the Greater Toronto Area. We've been on the forefront of their discovery through landscape-architecture clients seeking opportunity outside of Toronto's booming market.

We've been involved with the assembly, development, and financing of millions of square feet within York Region. Our focus is on the assembly of add-value properties strategically located on major arterial roads within the Secondary Plans of York Region.  We offer a fully-integrated approach to real estate landscape-architecture consulting for small and mid-cap residential and commercial clientele:

Our services are a collaborative effort between managing partners Daniel and Kyle Foch, who are CMHC and York Region award-winning affordable housing innovators. These services leverage career history in Landscape Architecture, Municipal Government and Economic Development, alongside intimate working relationships with numerous York Region Real Estate Developers on projects ranging from municipal parks, waterfront rewilding, 2-lot infill assemblies to 1,200,000 GFA highrise projects.

We work from start-to-finish with vendors and purchasers interested in developing real estate in York Region. Our experienced team, immense network, and community reputation allows us to protect the bottom line for our clients where it matters most - at the land phase of development. We understand the delicate nature of zoning application through years of experience working with smaller municipalities within the Greater Toronto Area. A local, personal touch makes a world of difference in a small town. We're with you every step of the way:

1. Market analysis: we conduct thorough primary research to find a suitable site to meet your needs as a developer and builder.

2. Acquisition: we strategically acquire or assemble sites identified within the analysis, with an unparalleled understanding in the nature of holding income potential in small communities.

3. Financing: through our relationship with Avina Capital, we secure financing for land, development, servicing and construction, carefully protecting project returns.

4. Development: our award-winning team works closely with the municipality to present a project that is achievable within the guidelines of the Secondary Plan and Lake Simcoe Regional Conservation Authority.

5. Exit Strategy: we create a defined exit through potential sale, should you wish to capitalize on the improved value of the site through disposition.

6. Joint-venture: our network of builders and construction managers ensures that if you chose to remain after defined exit, we can find a strategic alliance to support your goals on a favourable joint-venture promote structure with an experienced builder.

7. Construction: we integrate cost consultation, manage and monitor construction throughout the process, and facilitate draws through Avina Capital.

8. Sales: through our 30-year history of awarded residential sales in York Region, we're uniquely equipped to work together with your team, creating a presale strategy that capitalizes on the current market conditions and supports the project objectives.
