BUILT FOR TODAY.
AND BUILT FOR TOMORROW.

Graywood communities are designed to not only meet the demands
of today, but also help to ensure a flourishing future.

A goal without a plan is not a goal. It is simply a wish. So when it comes to your home, are you simply wishing it becomes a good investment, or have you taken the necessary steps to ensure that it already is?

At Graywood, we’re working hard to create communities that are not just optimized for life today, but built with a vision of a prosperous tomorrow. With a keen eye on how, and where people want to live, and a passion for projects that get noticed and endure, we work hard to ensure that our purchasers are making the right investment, both personally and financially.

Because if a home is one of the biggest investments you’ll ever make, shouldn’t your real estate developer also be an investment expert? We think so, and that’s why we’re both.

We are developers and investors.

A Toronto-based private investment management company that specializes in the development of real estate properties of exceptional quality in Canada, as well as select markets in the United States.

Graywood does more.

Our unique expertise incorporates a wealth of services from acquiring development sites, deal underwriting and structuring to all aspects of development management including land use approvals, project design, sales, marketing, construction management and project financing.

Our investments are primarily made through partnerships with institutions, pension plans, family offices, high-net-worth individuals, land owners and residential home builders.

Graywood brings more expertise to everyday development.
Our impressive team consists of leading authorities from the worlds of real estate and investment.
