Four Generations of Building
Tradition

The Goldman family started developing real estate in the 1950s, originally led by Murray Goldman. Over the decades, the company developed many successful projects that still stand as landmarks today. In the 1990’s, Gary Goldman evolved the brand Stafford and along with his son Jonathan, grew the business into an expanding, multi-disciplined real estate development company. The journey over seven decades, four generations and several continents, has established Stafford as one of Toronto’s key developers.

The company is now co-owned by Gary and its President, Jonathan Goldman, in cooperation with a talented team of incredibly experienced and competent real estate professionals. Stafford has expanded into several new asset classes and services including asset management and construction management, and the construction of highly technical industrial facilities such as data centers. Stafford has also advanced exciting endeavours like private venture capital and a US expansion. At Stafford, we’re always growing and improving our company and the world around us.

Impact

It is our responsibility as developers to go beyond just constructing buildings; it extends to creating reliable value and vibrant communities that foster a sense of belonging and pride. We recognize the crucial role we play in shaping the communities we work in, and we strive to uphold high standards in all aspects of our operations by being good neighbors in every sense of the word. Championing environmental sustainability, and implementing advanced technologies is a priority. We are committed to minimizing our footprint through green building practices, responsible use of resources, and waste reduction. Our aim is to build, develop, and manage communities that promote healthy living with outdoor spaces being emphasized in our design process. As we continue to grow and evolve as a company, we remain dedicated to upholding these values and making a positive impact in the communities we serve.
