In the clamour of the real estate industry, Sierra Building Group stands out as enigmatic developers who understand that a home isn’t just an edifice but the heart of a community. This real estate development company, led by its founder Morris Kansun, boasts over 25 years of industry experience crafting unique and stylish homes, predominantly in Southern Ontario.
Founder Kansun’s deep affinity for natural landscapes and love for outdoor activities inspired the name of his company, which evokes majestic West Coast mountains. An avid boater and skier, Kansun’s vision was to elicit the sense of awe he feels when he sees the mountain sunrise, reflecting this sentiment in the homes his company creates.Sierra Building Group strives to create a distinctive offering for their clientele by incorporating a West Coast architectural aesthetic into their homes. They achieve this by harmonizing elements like natural wood and exposed stone, curating homes that exist in harmony with picturesque surroundings.
Location plays an instrumental role for Sierra Building Group. Their team is not only customer-focused, but they also emphasize attracting locations that their staff would find appealing. Ideally, they scout for locations promoting an active lifestyle, filled with a little extra flair – a winning philosophy that has led them to build in Southern Ontario’s desirable Cottage Country.Building in such locations allows the group to leverage the area’s inherent natural beauty. They construct homes that effortlessly blend into the natural landscape, carving a niche of their own in the property market by coupling classic and modern architectural elements in the luxury homes they craft.
While Sierra Building Group has successfully planted its roots in Southern Ontario, it has concurrently ventured into various aspects of the U.S. real estate industry. They continue to build their footprint with commercial developments in Florida, North Carolina, and Texas. Residential projects in the Houston area further demonstrate their geographical expansion.Additionally, they have set their sights on the Florida Keys, where a new project is under development, adding another exciting chapter to their real estate journey outside Canada.
In 2008, Sierra Building Group ventured into personalization with their Custom Home Division. Initially created to cater to friends, family, and acquaintances, they soon realized its potential and started developing custom projects in Toronto and in the most prestigious neighbourhoods of Cottage Country.This division now handles a variety of projects, including high-end infill townhomes, detached and semi-detached houses, extensive restorations of historic homes, and luxury chalets.
Two remarkable projects epitomize Sierra Building Group’s innovative approach, quality workmanship, and commitment to location-centric development.The first, 68 Main Street, is a luxury condo mid-rise in downtown Markham. This 6-storey building, completed in 2014, comprises 143 units and 13,000 square feet of ground floor retail space anchored around an old-world style courtyard. Residences feature high-end finishes, including granite kitchen countertops and marble bathroom tops, hardwood, carpet, and tile flooring.The second, is the Royal Wynd of Ajax community of single-family homes and townhomes. Completed in 2012, residences here merge convenience with luxury with features such as hardwood flooring, central air conditioning, granite countertops, stainless steel appliances, and oak stairs.
Continuing to build on their track record, Sierra Building Group aims to expand throughout the United States, with plans to develop more projects across Canada and the U.S, potentially bringing their West Coast style to the actual West Coast.Their forte in creating modern luxury homes in ideal locations, and the unique approach of fusing West Coast style into Southern Ontario dwellings, positions Sierra Building Group as an innovative and progressive leader in the real estate industry.
The future looks bright for Sierra Building Group as they write their dynamic growth story enriched by the founder’s deep admiration for nature, an innovative architectural approach, and a relentless focus on finding the perfect location.
