Corporate history

One product, lovingly crafted, humbly sold and proudly owned. That’s how it starts for most companies. That’s how it started for Mattamy Homes in 1978.

Peter Gilgan took a look around and saw an opportunity for Mattamy Homes to create something different in a world of sameness.

He studied home design concepts from all over North America and especially of a growing movement called New Urbanism. This new movement called for homes to be more individual in character and designed into friendlier communities with integrated green space and consideration given to people over cars. Mattamy Homes’ initial foray into New Urbanism resulted in community design with lots configured by width not depth.

WideLot™ homes helped Mattamy evolve into Canada’s largest builder of new homes.

Today, we are involved in every single aspect of community planning. We acquire the land, we design the homes, we plan the streets, and we create the park spaces and walking/biking trails and other community features. We also constantly look for ways to improve what we do. We have built more than 60,000 homes in 150 communities in Canada and the United States.
