Rockport Group

What Rockport Group does

Rockport Group is a privately held, family-owned Toronto real estate development and property management company founded in 1957 by Burt Winberg. Now in its third generation of Winberg family leadership (Jack Winberg as CEO, Daniel Winberg as COO), the company operates as a fully integrated real estate platform covering land acquisition, development, construction management, and ongoing property management across the Greater Toronto Area and Prince Edward County. It has developed more than 25,000 residential and retirement suites over 65+ years and registered Ontario's first Condominium Corporations in 1968.

The business is organized across four product verticals: (1) luxury condominium development, anchored by The Davisville — a 76-unit, 12-storey project at 8 Manor Road West with suites priced $1.4M-$2.9M featuring Scavolini kitchens, Miele appliances, the trademarked Urban Yard™ outdoor space, 1Valet smart entry, and Forest Hill Residential concierge; (2) purpose-built residential rentals including The Montgomery (27 storeys at Yonge & Eglinton) and townhome communities at 1320 Kennedy Road and 8 Manor Road West, distributed via Rent Cafe; (3) commercial leasing of mixed-use retail, office, and industrial assets such as the 94,000 sq ft Brentcliffe Building, handled in part through JLL; and (4) retirement residences developed in partnership with Amica Senior Lifestyles, with over 1,000 suites built across Amica Georgetown, Amica Pickering, and Amica Unionville.

The business model combines one-time revenue from condo sales and development fees with recurring monthly income from rentals and commercial leases. Sales are distributed through Harvey Kalles Real Estate Team for condos and JLL for commercial, with direct in-house property management for residential rentals. Forward growth is driven by an unusually large development pipeline: the 7,500-unit Base31 consortium project in Prince Edward County (first Base Living launches in 2026), the 60-66 storey 277 Wellington Street West JV with Reserve and Westdale, plus additional mid-rise and seniors' residence projects in approval across the GTA. The company has no disclosed external institutional ownership, no public listing, and operates as a private family enterprise.
