Mattamy Homes says it is is celebrating the closing of its 100,000th home since the company’s inception in 1978.
“Mattamy started from humble beginnings, selling and building a single home, with just two employees working out of founder Peter Gilgan’s garage,” the company said in a statement last Monday. “Since then, 100,000 families are enjoying life in a Mattamy home and community and there are more than 2,000 members of the Mattamy family, working in dozens of locations.
“My dream has always been to create places where families can experience the best life has to offer by thoughtfully planning homes and communities that suit the way they really live,” said Gilgan. “Reaching a milestone like this and knowing that 100,000 families have chosen Mattamy to help fulfill their dreams of homeownership is an incredible privilege and honour. Each of our employees and homeowners has played an important role in helping us achieve this milestone.”
“Mattamy has a proud past, which has laid the foundation for a strong present and an even more exciting future,” said Brad Carr, CEO of Mattamy Homes Canada. “Forty-two years and 100,000 homes later our focus remains the same – one home and one family at a time.”
