Equiton Expanding into Toronto Luxury Condo Market
Equiton is entering Toronto’s luxury-condominium sector with plans for a boutique development near the city’s Bridle Path district.
The company said it will develop Bridleview Residences, a six-storey luxury condo project planned at the gateway to Bridle Path, one of Canada’s most affluent residential enclaves. Investors will be able to participate in the project through the Bridleview Residences Condo Trust.
“The current environment has created rare opportunities for firms with the conviction and capacity to scale up,” said Ryan Donkers, Equiton’s vice-president of investments. “The luxury-housing market has continued to experience long-term demand. Entering with the right market timing builds strength into the outcome from the start.”
Bridleview Residences is expected to include between 50 and 60 suites averaging more than 1,900 square feet. Planned features include valet service, underground parking and curated luxury amenity spaces.
Toronto architect Richard Wengle, known for designing high-end custom homes in the city, will lead the project’s design, incorporating a grand lobby, private interiors and enhanced privacy features aimed at luxury buyers.
The project comes at a time when many new Toronto condo projects, along with those in other cities, are struggling to remain viable due low demand and other adverse market and economic conditions. Many would-be purchasers have cancelled presale contracts and forfeited large deposits, prompting a number of projects to pivot to purpose-built rental developments or be scrapped altogether.have for
In outlining the rationale for the move, Equiton pointed to continued strength at the upper end of the Greater Toronto Area condo market. In 2025, demand for condominiums priced above $3 million increased, while lower- and mid-range luxury homes remained among the strongest-performing categories within the luxury tier.
“Bridleview Residences marks another step in Equiton’s evolution and reflects the momentum we’ve built across our platform,” said Jason Roque, CEO and founder of Burlington, Ont.-based Equiton. “We are broadening our reach thoughtfully, focusing on markets and segments where our in-house expertise gives us a distinct advantage.”
The project will add to Equiton’s development pipeline, which the firm said stands at approximately 2,300 units and $1.8 billion in assets under development based on underwriting. The company has also expanded into private real estate lending, alongside its residential, commercial and development investment offerings.
Equiton is a private-equity real estate investment firm that offers institutional-grade investment solutions across residential, commercial and development assets. The firm manages properties through its in-house team and focuses on long-term performance, governance and resident satisfaction.
