The Gupta Group

What The Gupta Group does

The Gupta Group is a privately held, family-owned Canadian real estate and hospitality company founded in 1971 by Dr. Steve Gupta. Operating through three core businesses — residential and mixed-use real estate development, hotel ownership and management via its Easton's Group of Hotels division, and philanthropic activities through The Gupta Family Foundation (established 1986) — the company has built a diversified portfolio across Ontario and Quebec, employing more than 3,000 people.

The real estate division focuses on pre-construction condominium and mixed-use developments with integrated retail, office, and transit components. Notable projects include the 1,012-unit Dundas Square Gardens (completed 2021), the 704-suite Yonge City Square (launched March 2023 with pricing from approximately $600,000 to $2 million per unit), The Rosedale on Bloor (Canada's first Canopy by Hilton integration), and a pipeline of under-development projects including 7028 Yonge Street Vaughan (1,902 units across three towers with a 7-storey hotel component), 185 King St East (437 residences), 906 Yonge Street (425 units), and 1837-1845 Bayview (300 units). The hospitality division operates 20+ branded hotel properties under franchise agreements with Marriott, Hilton, and IHG, including Canada's first Canopy by Hilton (Toronto Yorkville), Canada's first Curio Collection by Hilton (60 Mill St, Distillery District, opened January 2022), and acquisitions such as the Four Points by Sheraton Kingston (August 2022). An adjacent venture capital arm, Rogue Insight Capital, extends the group's investment activities into startups.

Revenue mechanics span pre-construction condo unit sales (one-time payments, $600K–$2M per unit), hotel operations including rooms, food and beverage, and event services (recurring revenue), and ground-floor retail and commercial office leasing within mixed-use projects (recurring rental income). The company's go-to-market is sales-led, with hotel operations managed directly under brand partnerships and condo sales executed through dedicated sales offices, launch events, and direct outreach to high-net-worth individuals, downsizers, and investors. The enterprise is family-controlled, with Dr. Steve Gupta serving as Founder & Chairman and family members including Rashmi Gupta (EVP), Reetu Gupta (Ambassadress & Principal), Suraj Gupta (Chief Investment Officer), and Shelley Gupta (Executive Director of Finance) in senior roles, supported by a broader executive team across sales, operations, finance, construction, and HR.
