What Tacada does
Tacada is a privately held, family-controlled real estate company headquartered in Edmonton, Alberta, operating across Western Canada. The business is structured as an integrated platform across four pillars: Tacada Residential (home building under the Daytona Homes, Carriage Signature Homes, and Accent Infills brands, with City Homes merged into Daytona Homes in December 2025), Tacada Communities (land development with over 1,600 acres and 4,500+ lots developed since 1998, including JV partnerships with municipalities and First Nations groups), Tacada Investments (ownership and operation of income-producing multi-family, commercial, and industrial assets), and Tacada Services (centralized shared services for accounting, safety, IT, and HR).
Tacada builds single-family detached, semi-custom, custom estate, and infill homes primarily to Built Green energy-efficiency certification standards, and sells them via direct sales consultants at company-operated show home centers across Edmonton, Calgary, Saskatoon, Regina, Winnipeg, and Kelowna/Okanagan. Pricing is quote-based per unit, varying by model and specification. Land development is conducted through master-planned communities (Crystal Landing, Riverstone, Cobblestone, Copperwood, Southbrook, The Brickyard, Aurora at North Point among others) sold as lots to internal builder brands and third-party builders. The Investments pillar generates recurring rental income from owned multi-family, commercial, and industrial assets, and the company has stated intent to expand geographically within and beyond Canada. The company traces to 1993, is owned through the Hutchinson Family Office, and is led post-2025 by CEO Craig Corbett.
