Innovative design and build for new modern homes in Toronto

We elevate the art of new home building with a clear and compelling Mission: to be a leading developer known for architecturally innovative homes. We have the experience and insight to help you find just the right neighborhood and lot through our property acquisition services. While we strongly believe that each project is unique, we also believe that your custom home needs to organically connect with the neighborhood.


Custom homes designed specifically for you

Your custom home project offers a blank canvas for us to explore creative ideas with you. Our project management team handles all aspects of the Design and Build process and ensures that your custom new construction project is met with master craftsmanship - from building the right structure, building envelope solutions, specialized millwork to custom stone work, glass work to the latest sustainability solutions.

In the Design Build Process or Integrated Design Process (IDP), the client, designer, builder and consultants are all working simultaneously to create the architecture and vision for your custom home. In conjunction with the design teams, we also work with you as our client to select materials, conduct value engineering exercises, and facilitate permits and consultant coordination. This process leads to the most efficient and cost effective approach to build.  Such an integrated team approach to construction also creates a smarter and higher performing home.

Many of Upside’s recent home projects have been featured in the Globe and Mail, National Post, and Toronto Life. Visit our Press page to read the articles.

Quality residential construction for your custom home

At the nucleus of Upside, we support an in-house construction management team that provides the most advanced solutions to all our clients. Our experienced management teams focus on bringing quality construction techniques to every project. We work closely with clients to establish construction budgets and schedules because our biggest commitment is to build every project like it is our own home. We work with established trades and have pre-selected teams of expert trades to ensure highest quality and consistency.  

If you have already completed the design phase and are looking to construct your home, Upside will build based on your existing plans. We've worked with numerous Toronto architects, designers, and engineers to cover a spectrum of initial design work.

Upside also incorporates some of the most advanced building techniques and materials to ensure your home is built correctly. Our construction practice goes above and beyond simply meeting building code requirements; we implement best practices in construction, building envelope, performance, systems commissioning, and building as a whole approach. We don't overlook any details and we conduct thorough examination at every stage of construction.
