Tenblock

Our Purpose We are a purpose-driven developer devoted to becoming Toronto’s most active-transportation friendly community builder.

As we look to the future, it is clear that the type of development that has worked in the past will no longer serve the needs of Toronto’s residents. Designing for the next century requires bold action, innovative approaches and a commitment to principles of green building, sustainable living, inclusivity and design excellence. Rooted in our proud history as part of the fabric of this city, we are helping reimagine what is possible and lay the foundations for Toronto’s exciting future.

As a socially and environmentally conscious developer of multi-unit residential properties that include rentals and condos, Tenblock takes a generational approach to building housing. To build a lasting legacy that we can be proud of, we combine established best practices in urban planning with world-class architecture, urban design, and new technologies that promote sustainable, car-free living. We’re leveraging our decades of experience navigating Toronto’s complex development environment to create the next generation of housing for the city we love.

Our History Tenblock’s projects build on a legacy that is more than six decades in the making.

While Tenblock was officially formed in 2019, previous generations of our company have been involved in the development and maintenance of apartment communities across Toronto for over 65 years. These earlier versions of Tenblock operated as the landowners and builders of many of our Current Project sites. Tenblock was formed to upgrade these properties and take them into the future by merging cutting edge sustainable and green building practices with industry-leading design and an inclusive, forward-looking approach to urban planning.

We are proud to be a part of Toronto’s past and excited to be part of its future.

Defining a Sustainable Future The future is here. We just need to build it.

The 21st century is going to bring myriad challenges, from increasingly extreme weather to resource shortages to climate-fueled migration. Right now, with most of Toronto’s greenhouse gas emissions coming from the city’s buildings, the way our city is built is part of the problem. But with the technologies and techniques that now exist, we can make our homes and buildings part of the solution. We can build places where community and sustainability happen hand-in-hand. That is core to the Tenblock vision.

With design that draws on the lessons of the past and present while looking to the needs of the future, we are enabling community and climate resilience, all while showing the way to a sustainable tomorrow.

Tenblock is building and upgrading homes where people want to live right now—and where people will want to live for decades to come. This includes incorporating beneficial, emerging technologies like geothermal energy into our projects, using landscaping to create shared spaces and minimize runoff, creating bike-friendly communities that reduce car-reliance, or incorporating onsite childcare into as many projects as possible.
