Founded in 1984 by visionary John H. Daniels, The Daniels Corporation has emerged as a leader in building inclusive and sustainable communities. Over nearly four decades, the company has constructed close to 40,000 award-winning homes and apartments, significantly shaping the urban landscape of the Greater Toronto Area. Daniels focuses on master-planned communities with a keen emphasis on city-building and social impact.
Specializing in mixed-use, mixed-income developments that foster multi-generational living, Daniels is renowned for transformative projects like the revitalization of Toronto's Regent Park. This initiative has become the gold standard for reimagining and rejuvenating urban neighborhoods, turning a former "no go" zone into a vibrant, inclusive community celebrated worldwide.
Committed to sustainability, Daniels launched its Decarbonization Roadmap in 2023, an industry-first strategy aimed at reducing whole life carbon emissions in real estate development. Their dedication to building low-carbon communities aligns with global climate goals and demonstrates a proactive approach to environmental stewardship.
The Daniels Corporation's reputation is further enhanced by philanthropic endeavors, including significant contributions to the University of Toronto and the University Health Network.
