Minto Group

What Minto Group does

Minto Group is a fully integrated Canadian real estate company founded in 1955 by the Greenberg brothers in Ottawa, operating today across residential development, rental property management, commercial leasing, and real estate investment management. Its core business lines include Minto Communities (new single-family homes, townhomes, and condominiums sold across Ottawa, the Toronto GTA, Calgary, and in the U.S. in Florida and South Carolina), Minto Apartments (rental management of approximately 11,295 units across major Canadian markets), Minto Commercial (2.4 million square feet of office and retail space in Ottawa, Toronto, and Calgary), and Latitude Margaritaville, a 55+ active-adult brand developed in partnership. The underlying technology and product differentiator is sustainable building — including ENERGY STAR, LEED-certified, Net Zero, and geoexchange systems — with operational results such as a 20% reduction in carbon emissions and a 21% reduction in rental energy use since 2019.

The company monetizes through four primary revenue streams: one-time home sales at price points ranging from approximately $200,000 (U.S. villas) to $2.8 million (Canadian estate homes); recurring rental income across the apartment portfolio; subscription-style commercial leasing; and investment-management fees tied to a $4.1B portfolio, which in January 2026 was the subject of a $2.3B take-private transaction executed via a programmatic joint venture with Crestpoint Real Estate Investments. GTM is direct-to-consumer and sales-led via owned sales centres, model homes, and website-based registration. Minto serves individual homebuyers across life stages, 55+ active-adult buyers in the U.S. Sun Belt, Canadian apartment renters, and commercial tenants. The Greenberg family retains control; Roger Greenberg serves as Executive Chairman, with Michael Waters as CEO and a board comprising family members and independent directors.
