Stan Melton felt strongly that employees should have the ability to own a piece of the company for which they work, so in 1968, Melton Real Estate became a publicly traded company on the Vancouver Stock Exchange. The company graduated to the Toronto Stock Exchange in 1972. This tradition of employee ownership carries on today with Melcor’s Employee Share Purchase Plan which matches employee contributions to purchase Melcor shares.
“We also support Junior Achievement, Rotary Clubs, Scouts, the Citadel Theatre, Meals on Wheels and many other charities and organizations.
“In addition to supporting these organizations financially, we encourage our employees to get involved and share their talents with the organizations that mean the most to them. Many of the charities that we support are directly related to the causes that are dear to our team members.”

The sole proprietorship that opened in 1923 is now a public company that continues to operate with family-style ownership values. Melcor is the largest land developer in Edmonton and area – and in many of the communities where it builds in Canada. With every economic hiccup, war, pandemic and changing times, Melcor adapted seamlessly. Rapid adaptation of new technology.
Onboarding new processes. Inclusion. Diversity. Melcor demonstrated and led in how being flexible and responsive benefits the team, the shareholders, the corporation and the people it serves.
“Personally, I find it rewarding to be in an industry that meets the basic needs of families and businesses. It’s rewarding to offer a service that is necessary and appreciated. It is also rewarding to see the fruits of our labour as real estate development and having a tangible impact on communities takes time. The development of some communities and commercial projects can span multiple decades. The home is the biggest investment most people make in their life, and being part of that, being chosen as the community where a family decides to build their life together is an honour,” says Timothy.
“I’m grateful to the Melton family for having the confidence in me and providing support and cooperation. The Meltons have had a huge impact on the longevity of the business. I also acknowledge the important contributions of Melcor employees and our Board of Directors throughout the years.
