Sajecki Planning Inc.

What Sajecki Planning Inc. does

Sajecki Planning Inc. is a privately held urban and regional planning consultancy incorporated in Ontario, Canada, founded in late 2017 by David Sajecki and Ed Sajecki. The firm delivers professional planning and urban design services organized around four interconnected practice areas: Development Approvals (Planning Act applications, zoning by-law amendments, official plan amendments, minor variances, site plan control, severances, and Ontario Land Tribunal expert testimony), Policy and Regulatory Studies (official plan reviews, secondary plans, zoning by-law reviews, growth management strategies, and community improvement plans), Strategic Council (municipal governance advisory, government relations, and international development partnerships with CIDA, the World Bank, Queen's University, and the University of Toronto), and Stakeholder Engagement and Consultation (stakeholder management plans, facilitation, open houses, surveys, and statutory public meetings).

The firm serves two principal client segments: private land developers and real estate investment trusts (Castlepoint Numa, CAPREIT, Starlight Investments, Edenshaw Developments, Fieldgate Properties, Neudorfer Corporation, Mahogany Management, DC Development Corporation) requiring municipal approvals for residential, commercial, mixed-use, and industrial projects; and municipal governments and public agencies (City of Toronto, City of Mississauga, Town of Halton Hills, Waterfront Toronto, Toronto Public Library, Infrastructure Ontario) requiring policy and official plan work. Revenue is generated through project-based professional services engagements, with municipal work secured via competitive processes and private sector work via direct engagement and referrals.

The firm operates from Mississauga and Toronto (227 Pape Avenue, approved as a permanent office in 2024), with a team of approximately 15-20 Registered Professional Planners, urban designers, and support staff. Go-to-market relies on thought leadership (NRU Publishing features), conference participation (CIP/OPPI), and partner referrals from architecture and engineering firms. The underlying "technology" is deep expertise in Ontario's Planning Act and municipal regulatory frameworks rather than a software platform; no proprietary technology, API, or AI/ML product was identified.
