Great Gulf, Westdale and a Global Institutional Investor Team up to Form US$200M Venture on Build-to-Rent Single Family Housing Strategy in U.S. SunbeltTORONTO, ON, March 2021 - The Great Gulf Group (“Great Gulf”) is pleased to announce that it has partnered with Westdale Real Estate Investment and Management (“Westdale”), a leading North American real estate company and with a leading global institutional investor with in excess of US$100 billion of net assets under management to source land opportunities, develop, build, own and operate dedicated build-to-rent single family housing communities in the U.S. Sunbelt through a new venture. The partners have committed an initial US$200 million of equity to the venture with the potential for an additional US$200 million equity commitment.“We are very excited to have teamed up with two like-minded partners in order to capitalize on the demand for new purpose-built single family housing communities that we expect will continue to experience unprecedented growth particularly in the U.S. Sunbelt. We believe this growing demand is largely driven by lifestyle and lifecycle changes by Millennials, Gen Xers and Baby Boomers, affordability and an increased trend of “renters by choice”- a trend that was further accelerated by the onset of Covid- 19. The build-to-rent single family sector currently lacks in supply of modern purpose- built single family housing and our partners and we are well positioned to leverage our collective platforms and expertise. We expect the favorable demand-supply imbalance to continue in the near term with current annual demand estimated at over 250,000 newly built single-family rental homes compared to a current annual supply of approximately 50,000. Great Gulf is in a unique position to leverage its land sourcing, acquisition, development and home building capabilities both internally and via third- party home builders in order to develop a multi-market strategy across the U.S. Sunbelt.” said Ilias Konstantopoulos, CEO of the Great Gulf Group.About Great Gulf The Great Gulf Group was established in 1975 and has become one of North America’s leading real estate organizations with fully integrated activities that span the entire real estate spectrum. Through its various platforms including Ashton Woods and First Gulf, the Great Gulf Group develops, constructs and manages residential and commercial real estate across 18 cities and employs over 1,500 people in North America.

Ensemble of mixed-use buildings will instantly become a recognizable Toronto landmark &nbsp;February 10, 2021 (Toronto, ON) – Great Gulf, Westdale Properties and Dream Unlimited showcased the refined designs of the Gehry Project at a community meeting organized by the City of Toronto on February 9th. World-renowned, Toronto-born architect, Frank Gehry and members of his team were on hand to reveal the latest refinements of the mixed use two-tower project at the cultural intersection of King Street West and Ed Mirvish Way.&nbsp; “This will be the most talked about mixed-use development in the history of Toronto and we’re thrilled to meet with the public to &nbsp;share the design updates of an unprecedented architectural project,” says Mitchell Cohen, Chief Operating Officer, Westdale Properties. “This project represents a coming home for Frank Gehry to the city he loves and will be one of his most significant architectural achievements. He is the heart and soul of the project and it has been an honour working with him and his team. We’re excited to be progressing in our goal to execute Frank’s vision for the development &nbsp;of such an important site in downtown Toronto.”&nbsp;<figure class="image"><img src="https://greatgulfstrapi.blob.core.windows.net/greatgulf/assets/gehry_e24d2697c3.png"><figcaption>Great Gulf, Westdale Properties and Dream Unlimited Project</figcaption></figure>The latest refinements to the design maintain both the height and density that were approved in a 2017 zoning by-law amendment. Specifically, the latest changes adjust the organization of the towers on the site, enhance the podiums and optimize the floor plates of both towers to offer stunning views from each vantage point in the buildings. The most recognizable refinement is the redesigned &nbsp;exterior building envelope &nbsp;which will make the project &nbsp;an instant landmark. The Gehry-designed buildings will be clad in a variety of energy-efficient materials and feature a unique textured metal and glass façade. The design provides for ever-changing vistas of the buildings depending on one’s vantage point while continually providing a differing reflection of Toronto’s skyline.&nbsp; “With this project, I wanted to create an ensemble of buildings that were respectful to the city and referential to the Toronto that I once knew," says Frank Gehry. "I wanted the two towers to each have their own personality, but I also wanted them to talk to each other, creating a dynamic and changing addition to the skyline depending where you were viewing them from in the city. The detailing of the exterior is intended to give the buildings a human scale and hopefully reflect the light and colour from the city and the sky around it. In the end, this should be a building of Toronto that I hope will make the city proud."&nbsp; Upon completion, the west tower will be the tallest Gehry-designed building in the world. This true mixed-use development will include new space for OCAD University as well as commercial, retail and residential spaces. The changes to the podium incorporate the façade of the heritage Anderson Building which was built in 1915, while respecting the views of both the Royal Alexandra Theatre and the Princess of Wales Theatre, which bookend the project.&nbsp; A cultural corridor along Ed Mirvish Way will serve as a gateway to the site and a hub of public activity for the King Street West neighbourhood, the Entertainment District and beyond. The intersection will become Toronto’s centre for arts, culture and theatre. “OCAD University is excited about the Gehry-designed project, which will offer our students and faculty enhanced learning and research spaces while providing opportunities to collaborate with the community on a wide variety of art, design and media initiatives,” says Ana Serrano, the University’s President and Vice-Chancellor. “We see tremendous opportunities for collaboration with Great Gulf, Westdale and Dream as this project becomes a reality. With its close proximity to both OCAD University and TIFF, and situated within Toronto’s Entertainment District, this project is poised to become a cultural hub within the city, offering opportunities to showcase the talent of the next generation of artists, designers and developers.” Cohen says the latest design refinements reflect a collaborative, ongoing partnership with the City. “In many ways, the ownership group sees itself as the stewards of a project that is being developed on behalf of the City and the people of Toronto. There are multiple vested interests in this development and that is reflected in the successful outcomes thus far. Now more than ever, we remain committed to investing in downtown Toronto and delivering a project that the city and country can be proud of,” says Cohen. The latest design updates include some variances that reflect the changes to the massing and design intent for the project. As a next step, these variances will be brought to the Committee of Adjustment for approval. A package was submitted to the City in December for review.-30-About Great Gulf Established in 1975, the Great Gulf Group of companies, including Great Gulf Homes, an international award-winning, low-rise and landmark high-rise residential developer providing over 80,000 families with places to call home; Ashton Woods Homes, the 3rd largest private builder and 18th largest in the U.S.; First Gulf, an innovative market leader in sustainable, accessible and transit-oriented commercial developments and large scale design-build industrial facilities; Tucker HiRise, a leading construction management company, specializing in the construction of high-density, mixed-use projects; H+ME Technology, a precision engineering panelization manufacturing facility; and Taboo Muskoka, one of Canada's top-ranked golf courses, is one of North America's premier real estate organizations.

Ilias Konstantopoulos appointed CEO of Great Gulf Group

Toronto ON, May 2019 – Great Gulf held the inauguration of SAFE HANDS at the iconic One Bloor, with internationally acclaimed artist Ron Arad attending from the UK. Special guests included Deputy Mayor Michael Thompson, Ward 11 Councillor Mike Layton, academics, artists and other members of the community.&nbsp;“Great Gulf takes its commitment to public art seriously and are confident that this work of art will enhance the city and be recognized on a global platform,” said Geoff Mathews Great Gulf Senior Vice President, High Rise Development. “Public art plays an important role in shaping the character of a city. It celebrates culture, history, architecture and provides civic spaces for citizens to enjoy.”&nbsp;A selection jury was appointed by the City of Toronto made up of art experts and members from Great Gulf. The jury held an international competition due to the prominence of the flagship project located at the intersection of Yonge and Bloor. Ron Arad, an Israeli-born contemporary industrial designer, artist and architect was selected to create the public art which was fabricated by Toronto’s Stephen Richards. The sculpture's two 88 ft and 82 ft tall freestanding towers wrap around each other vertically without touching. The outer surface of the sculpture is mirror polished stainless steel fabricated from flat sheet, rolled, welded and polished.&nbsp;The crushed lower sections were created by applying over 150 Tons of pressure and selective application of heat to make the cylinder buckle and dent. The total weight of the two towers is just over 70,000 LBS with all assembly done in the GTA fabricated over a two-year period.&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;About Great Gulf&nbsp;Established in 1975, the Great Gulf Group of companies including Great Gulf Homes an international award-winning, low-rise and landmark high-rise residential developer providing over 70,000 families with places to call home; Ashton Woods Homes, the 3rd largest private builder and 18th largest in the U.S.; First Gulf, an innovative market leader in sustainable, accessible and transit-oriented commercial developments and large scale design-build industrial facilities; Tucker HiRise, a leading construction management company, specializing in the construction of high-density, mixed-used projects; H+ME Technology, a precision engineering panelization manufacturing facility; and Taboo Muskoka, one of Canada's top-ranked golf courses, is one of North America’s premier real estate organizations.

Toronto, August 21, 2017 – Great Gulf partners with Sunnybrook to advance the work of the Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder and raises $165,900 from its golf tournament bringing total funds raised to $1,383,900. This strategic partnership seeks a better future for youth with bipolar disorder through a dual mandate: to remove the stigma, prejudice and discrimination against those suffering with mental illness, and to increase awareness of this challenging disorder to encourage early treatment.The Centre is there when it matters most, treating teens with bipolar disorder, offering hope by conducting groundbreaking research on the condition, and leading efforts to change how the world thinks about bipolar disorder in teens.“We are a subspecialty program that seamlessly weaves together scientific discovery, clinical care, and knowledge sharing and education,” said Dr. Benjamin Goldstein, Director of the Centre for Youth Bipolar Disorder, Sunnybrook Health Sciences Centre, Senior Scientist at the Sunnybrook Research Institute and Professor of Psychiatry and Pharmacology at the University of Toronto. “We are on a search for biological markers that can reduce the mystery around the causes and treatments of bipolar disorder.”“Mental illness is one of the most pressing issues facing our teens today. We applaud and are committed to supporting the great work of Dr. Benjamin Goldstein and his team of professionals to provide the best possible treatment and to change the way the world thinks about bipolar disorder in teens,” said Great Gulf President Christopher Wein. “Our partnership with the Centre will not only include funding but also working together to launch a strategic awareness campaign to heightened awareness of the symptoms and the need for early treatment to successfully manage this disorder. A special thank you to all of our staff and sponsors for making the golf tournament an outstanding success.”In the past few months the Centre has received three grants, from Canadian Institutes of Health Research, the Heart &amp; Stroke Foundation, and the Brain &amp; Behavior Research Foundation to better understand the relationship between blood vessel problems and bipolar disorder in teens. These studies will use cutting-edge imaging of the heart, brain and eye. Dr. Goldstein remarked, “We are actively pursuing the concept of ‘exercise as medicine’ and are world leaders in studying the brain effects of aerobic exercise on teens with bipolar disorder.”The studies bring together scientists and clinicians across the hospital and research institute, who are teaming up to accelerate progress in the treatment and understanding of youth bipolar disorder, including specialists in cardiology, ophthalmology, neurology, medical imaging, and anesthesia. Great Gulf and Sunnybrook will partner to improve care, raise awareness and reduce stigma to improve the lives of teens with bipolar disorder, who deserve nothing less.&nbsp;About Great GulfEstablished in 1975, the Great Gulf Group of companies including Great Gulf Homes an international award-winning, low-rise and landmark high-rise residential developer providing 50,000 families with places to call home; Ashton Woods Homes, the 3rd largest private builder and 18th largest in the U.S.; First Gulf, an innovative market leader in sustainable, accessible and transit-oriented commercial developments and large scale design-build industrial facilities; Tucker HiRise, a leading construction management company, specializing in the construction of high-density, mixed-used projects; H+ME Technology, a precision engineering panelization manufacturing facility; and Taboo Muskoka, one of Canada's top-ranked golf courses, is one of North America’s premier real estate organizations.
