t all started when Hashem Ghadaki and business partner Saeid Aghaei came together to form Times in 1987. They didn’t realize it at the time, but their partnership would create a company that would evolve into one of the most iconic real estate developers in the Greater Toronto Area. “With over a quarter of a century of state and industrial experience each, Saeid Aghaei and business partner Hashem Ghadaki started building singlefamily custom homes with Hashem’s brother, Mohamad, joining the company shortly thereafter. Their focus began to change within a short time, when several promising commercial development opportunities presented themselves. Between 1988 and 1996, the company focused its development plans on commercial plazas. With each completed project, the company was praised for its high standards and commitment to quality.

Times Group started with a few custom homes and soon moved up to clusters of fine homes, townhomes and multiple unit communities like Chalmers Gate, Hycrest and Saddlecreek. We built shopping plazas, community buildings and medical centres. In the early 2000s we began focussing mostly on residential, and advanced to sophisticated condominium projects like Galleria, Parkview and Thornhill Tower in the 117-acre community of Galleria/Leitchcroft near Bayview and Highway 7. During this period it became obvious that the newest clean energy systems for buildings contributed to healthy homes and saved residents money. We began verifying the best technologies, and by 2009 had completed our first LEED Gold building, Majestic Court, York Region’s Times Group

first LEED® certified project. Since then, all of our projects have been enhanced by clean energy innovations, and most are registered to one of the LEED green standards. And projects have multiplied. Eden Park, 500 Sherbourne and River Park were followed by four more 2016 projects, Riverwalk, Key West and Village Park Estates and Townhomes. In 2018, we will be completing five communities including Luxe Towns, Valleymede Towers, Riverside and Pavilia Townhomes. And another six projects are under development and coming soon. In 2008 we purchased 88 acres along the south side of Highway 7 between Birchmount Road and Warden Avenue, with the intention of creating Uptown Markham, a vibrant, urban masterplanned community of modern condominiums, retail shops, high-tech workplaces, with 50 acres of green space along the Rouge River.
The Uptown Market shopping centre, River Park, Riverwalk and Riverside Condos were built in phases. The area is becoming an exciting central hub for the City of Markham, anchored by a Whole Foods Market and other retail amenities. We’re good at planning for the future. As time marches forward, Markham is emerging as among the most sought after places to live and work, along with some of the other locales that Times Group has developed in Toronto, Thornhill, Etobicoke, Richmond Hill and Newmarket. We are now working on completing the last 30 acres of Galleria/Leitchcroft, a similar master community. Throughout more than 30 years of success and growth the company has remained passionately dedicated to the mission established by Hashem and Saeid in 1987. We craft beautifully-designed, contemporary, welcoming neighbourhoods, that are ahead of their time, and that people can call home. Green Building + Architecture

INVESTING TIME IN BUILDING RELATIONSHIPS

“
“Time is the most valuable thing a man can spend.” - Theophrastus
I
n the best families, everyone is honest and respectful with each other. Times Group was and is a family business, and the concept of a strong family still guides our philosophy. In the complex world of homebuilding, numerous challenges can arise, but from our earliest days, Times Group has accepted responsibility for quality and attention to detail. This has meant a high level of preplanning and communications between customers, realtors, architects, engineers, city planners, interior designers, landscape designers, energy consultants, trade contractors, property managers and
senior management. More discussion solves problems and it also allows people to drop their defenses and get to know and trust each other. We may have grown larger, but we still feel like a family, which translates to both cohesive group power and higher achievement by individuals. Everyone shares the same vision, while respecting each other’s differences, strengths and expertise. The result is that day after day Times Group people seem to offer continuous dedication to superior craftsmanship

and community building, more creativity, passion, and a higher level of service to customers and to each other. We established a goal many years ago to finish all our projects on time and on-budget. Making this business-as-usual has become a point of pride among our team members, because it sets us apart from other homebuilders. By valuing the art of collaboration and building great relationships, Times Group has become one of the most trusted brands for customers, and an excellent partner for the loyal people in our extended ‘family.’

MOMENTS IN TIME & LIVABLE COMMUNITIES

If we take care of the moments, the years will take care of themselves. - Maria Edgeworth
T
here are moments our customers will remember all their lives. A marriage proposal in a rooftop garden overlooking the CN Tower from our Key West condos; an annual neighbourhood soccer tournament when the underdogs came out on top at our Saddlecreek park outside Eden Park condos; an ultra-cute photo from a six year-old’s birthday party taken at an urban chic designer amenity space - one of the company’s trademarks in is its unwavering commitment to timeless design; or that day Dad tried to show us how to fly a kite in the fields of the 50-acre parkland at Uptown Markham.

Everyday life should be an adventure as you discover the best neighbourhood green spaces, community centres, clubs and ser-
vice organizations. Or hurry off to yoga, tai chi or a swim on the ground floor of your building. We’re increasingly seeking a healthy work-life balance. At Times Group we want to participate in that evolution, and we want to help customers create more memorable moments with every passing year.
Eden Park I (LEED GOLD candidate) Thornhill
Livable communities: experiences, memories, comfort, and good health are what make a house, street or building a home. Good memories happen in welldesigned indoor spaces and also outside, especially if the land, location and surrounding neighbourhood are thoughtfully planned and welcoming. That’s why thinking about moments in the lives of homeowners starts when we choose a location to develop a community, and continues all the way through the construction and move-in period. And also for many years afterwards, while our operations company manages our properties. We look for daycare, playgrounds, schools, universities, and medical facilities. We want it to be easy to travel to and from work, and to feel like you are at the centre of it all with nearby shopping, restaurants, culture and entertainment.

RESIDENTIAL PROJECTS THE BEST OF TIMES The bad news is time flies. The good news is you’re the pilot. - Anonymous
I
n the earliest years we built custom detached homes, but we soon switched to townhouses and midrises, because customers seemed to want them. By 1999, the demand for housing in the GTA was increasing so quickly that Times Group also began building highrise condominiums. When the region was faced with water and wastewater servicing capacity Times Group worked closely with government and became an early adopter of York Region’s “Sustainable Development through LEED” program. The Program encouraged the development industry to build more energy and water efficient residential buildings. As an example,
River Park is a stunning ensemble of low and high rise condominium residences constructed to the highest standards of sustainable design. Riverwalk was LEED NC Gold certified with the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC) in May 2018. To achieve LEED® Platinum Certification, River Park accumulated 80 of 110 possible LEED points. The project is designed to save more than 50% on energy, reduce potable water consumption and also wastewater conveyance. It also employs heat recovery ventilation, efficient MERV 13 filters for fan coils, programmable thermostats and a

humidistat to monitor space comfort, lowemitting paints and flooring with low or no VOC content, reduced energy lighting controlled by occupancy sensors, a 29% window-to-wall ratio, efficient double glazed windows with hard low-e coating, argon, and thermally-broken frames. The landscape design achieved a 100% reduction in potable water for irrigation by collecting rainwater for irrigation and selecting drought tolerant vegetation. The future is wide open and Times Group will continue to develop our models of the ideal residential community. We hope you will recognize the value we offer and move in soon!
