The Remington Group

What The Remington Group does

The Remington Group is a privately held Canadian real estate developer and operator headquartered in Vaughan, Ontario, founded by Rudolph P. Bratty in 1957 and operating for over seven decades in the Greater Toronto Area. The company develops, owns, and operates residential, commercial, and retail real estate through five operating divisions: Remington Homes (low-rise towns, semis, and detached homes), Remington High Rise (condominium towers), Remington Parkview, a Commercial Division, and a Retail Division. Its landmark project is Downtown Markham, a $5-billion, 243-acre master-planned community designed to accommodate 25,000 residents and 16,000 employees, with 2.7 million sq. ft. of planned retail and 3.7 million sq. ft. of planned office space.

The company's underlying technical infrastructure centers on a proprietary Markham District Energy (MDE) system housed in the restored Alexander Bradburn House, providing thermal heating and cooling to over 4 million sq. ft. and 3,000 homes. Remington's High Rise division builds to LEED Silver or higher standards, and the firm has invested over $30-35 million in the Remington Contemporary Art Collection as a cultural differentiation layer. Smart city initiatives include an autonomous robot delivery pilot with Real Life Robotics and Skip (announced July 2025).

The Remington Group generates revenue through three primary streams: one-time residential home sales (pre-construction and completed units ranging from $800K to $3.8M+), recurring commercial leasing across 3+ million sq. ft. of owned space, and recurring retail leasing anchored by necessity-based and national brand tenants. The firm is family-controlled, has no disclosed institutional investors or private equity backing, and sells primarily through direct sales offices and pre-construction registration systems across the GTA.
