Carlo Baldassarra is the Founder of the Greenpark Group of companies. Greenpark Group specializes in residential and commercial construction that spans across Canada, United States and Europe. Carlo is led by a passion for success and a commitment to family.
Carlo Baldassarra emigrated to Canada from Italy in 1958, at the age of 19. His first job in Canada was as a carpenter but his skill and leadership immediately set him apart rising to company foreman within a few months. Possessing a keen business sense and an understanding of the value of hard work, he was able to turn those qualities into unrivaled success in the real estate development and construction industry.
A decade after arriving on Canadian shores, Carlo created Greenpark Homes, along with partners Jack Wine and Phillip Rechtsman. Under Carlo's guidance Greenpark quickly became one of Canada's largest home builders. Carlo further led the company's successful expansion into commercial and high-rise development which has cemented Greenpark's legacy as one of Canada's most complete and trusted builders. Over the last decade, Carlo has spearheaded Greenpark's expansion into Europe and the United States extending his legacy and bringing the total number of families living in a Greenpark home to over 80,000.
Today, the Greenpark Group is wholly owned and operated by the Carlo Baldassarra family. His inspiring vision for the Greenpark Group, coupled with his strong leadership, has created a dynamic and growing organization focused on developing and delivering quality real estate projects around the world.
At his core, Carlo is a man who has always put family and community first. He has been married to his lovely wife, Angela, for 58 years; and their three sons, Mauro, Armando and Michael have followed their father's lead, working as senior executives in the Greenpark Group. Going forward, Carlo's insights and experience will continue to guide the Group's development, ensuring that the values of integrity, loyalty and hard work continue to define this extraordinary enterprise.
Nicholas Fidei is the founder of Treasure Hill and Treasure Hill Commercial. In addition to residential new home construction, Treasure Hill's Commercial Division builds and operates several commercial plazas throughout the Greater Toronto Area in Canada.
Nicholas grew up with a family background in real estate and construction, and was inspired from an early age to embark on an entrepreneurial career path. He learned that two of the most important ingredients to success are a clear vision of what you are aiming for, and the ambition and passion to go for it. The drive to succeed and do whatever it takes – which means hard work and a very strong work ethic – these are the essentials that Nicholas relies on to spur him on to accomplish greater things.
Nicholas took this drive and started Treasure Hill in 2003 and has since built, and has in development, over 10,000 homes. As a land developer, Treasure Hill takes raw land and builds a fresh community as they see fit not only creating award winning spaces in which people want to live but also cultivating well thought-out environments in which families can flourish.
From the very start, Treasure Hill stood out in the industry because Nicholas insisted that the standard Treasure Hill home would always be comparable to other builders' upgraded models. Giving purchasers upgraded features which were included in the purchase price set the Treasure Hill brand apart from its competition.
Nicholas' long-term goal for Treasure Hill is to remain a leader in the industry. He understands that today's purchasers continue to grow in knowledge and sophistication and as such, they demand continued excellence and uniqueness in approach.
At the heart of all Nicholas' choices are his loving family and his lifelong commitment to continue to give back to the larger community in which he lives and works.
