An Incredible 90 Years of Home Building with Tridel

June 19, 2024

The strength of a home is measured not just in years but in the enduring quality of every brick and beam. Tridel, one of Toronto’s finest home building developers, has woven a legacy of excellence for over 90 years. It is a company defined by craftsmanship, innovation, and a deep-rooted commitment to community.

Picture yourself in a Tridel-built condominium, where each detail speaks of trusted quality and thoughtful design. From the foundation to the finishing touches, every element displays Tridel’s relentless pursuit of the highest quality.

So, come along and celebrate Tridel’s extraordinary years of home building with us! Take a stroll through the decades and learn firsthand how this remarkable company has shaped the landscape of Toronto with its unwavering focus on building homes that stand the test of time within its vibrant communities.

What Started It All

Tridel’s journey traces back to the vision of Jack DelZotto, whose craftsmanship and entrepreneurial spirit laid the foundation for what would become a pioneering force in Toronto’s home building industry.

Arriving in Canada in 1927, Jack’s story began as a stone mason, but his aspirations soon led him to Toronto, where he built his first home. As the years passed, Jack’s passion for building beautifully designed homes grew, culminating in the formation of Tridel in the 1950s.

The ‘tri’ symbolizes the unity of Jack’s three sons – Angelo, Elvio, and Leo – who played integral roles in shaping the company’s direction.

In 1961, Tridel made a significant move, building its first apartment complex. This landmark development featured twin towers, each boasting 260 suites, alongside an array of recreational amenities, including a swimming pool and meticulously landscaped grounds.

This visionary project laid the groundwork for what would become the hallmark of Tridel’s building philosophy: the luxury condominium lifestyle.

Driven by a commitment to quality, innovation, and community, Tridel’s journey from humble beginnings to industry leader continues to honour Jack’s pioneering spirit, as well as the dedication of all who have contributed.

Keeping the Quality Alive

Choosing a homebuilder requires peace of mind. With Tridel, that assurance is built into every step of the process – continuing to provide exceptional service from the beginning.

Tridel’s dedication to quality starts with rigorous inspections carried out by their staff, ensuring that each suite meets the highest standards of readiness.

But quality extends far beyond the surface level. Tridel’s partnerships with skilled trades and consultants, who share their strict standards, guarantee every aspect of your home, from cutting-edge design to structural integrity and fine finishing details, exceeds expectations. This meticulous attention to detail sets Tridel apart.

Yet Tridel’s dedication to quality doesn’t end with the physical construction – it understands that a true home should be the heart of a community. Because of this, they strive continuously to cultivate vibrant, healthy, and enduring neighbourhoods.

From exceptional customer service to their commitment to building thriving communities, Tridel’s pursuit of quality is woven into every facet of their work.

Achieving Sustainability

The choices we make can ripple far into the future. With a proud track record of winning BILD’s Green Builder award 14 times, and many more accolades to its name, Tridel has cemented its reputation as a leader in sustainable development.

With over 25,000 green suites and counting, Tridel aims to conserve energy and set new standards for environmentally responsible living. From optimizing energy efficiency to minimizing waste, every decision is guided by the dedication to leaving a positive legacy for generations to come.

Sustainability efforts are a promise to homeowners and the planet. By confronting climate change challenges head-on, Tridel reshapes the future of high-rise living, making it more sustainable and environmentally friendly.

Roads Lead Back to the Community

Cultivating communities is a commitment Tridel takes seriously. Tridel’s Environmental, Social, and Governance (ESG) Mission drives to go beyond traditional development practices. The aim is not only to achieve net-zero carbon emissions but also to promote health, inclusivity, and prosperity in every community located in their footprint.

The Social Impact team works hand in hand with local stakeholders to ensure developments seamlessly integrate into existing neighbourhoods. This extends not only to the homeowners but also to their employees.

At the heart of Tridel’s community-building efforts lies a people-first approach – one that prioritizes the well-being and futures of all residents. Whether it’s through community economic development initiatives or fostering employee engagement, Tridel strives to create better, brighter futures for everyone involved.

Moreover, this level of transparency and accountability makes certain that trust is maintained with all stakeholders.

Promising Innovations

Innovation is woven into everything Tridel does. Their dedicated team continuously invests in new ideas, technologies, and practices to drive progress and create healthier, safer living spaces.

From initiatives focused on decarbonization to enhancing building resiliency, Tridel has pioneered solutions for modern condominium living. A key aspect of Tridel’s innovation strategy is piloting new methods, products, and technologies in demonstration suites. These initiatives allow them to thoroughly assess the impact on residents’ lifestyles before implementing them in future communities.

For example, Tridel embraces the Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) green building rating system, which promotes sustainable building practices internationally. As a voluntary Toronto Green Standard Tier 2 member, Tridel surpasses mandated standards, integrating green and sustainable features throughout.

The benefits of these innovative approaches are tangible. LEED-certified buildings typically consume significantly less electricity, natural gas, and potable water compared to traditional structures, resulting in a more sustainable and cost-effective living environment for residents.

In addition, Tridel’s industry-wide collaboration makes it possible for their innovative findings to be applied on a large scale, generating environmental and social benefits.

DelSuites Gives Travellers the Tridel Advantage

January 11, 2022

At DelSuites, we believe travel and hospitality aren’t complete without community: being part of something bigger than ourselves.

Which is part of why we’re part of something bigger, too: a group of companies whose know-how stretches from pouring foundations to developing green technologies and plumping your pillows before you arrive.

As part of the Tridel Group, DelSuites offers Toronto furnished apartments exclusively in Tridel-constructed buildings—showcasing one of Canada’s most innovative, forward-thinking, and celebrated developers. And it’s not just for the name brand: It’s because staying with DelSuites means having the whole Tridel team treating you like part of our community.

Here are three reasons why DelSuites furnished rental units are located exclusively in Tridel-constructed buildings—and what it means to stay in a Tridel suite.

Built on generations of experience

DelSuites is one of the most established short-term housing providers in Canada, but we’re part of a much larger—and older—family.

Tridel built its first houses in 1934, using everything founder Jack DelZotto knew about stonemasonry and bricklaying. Over the next three generations, the DelZottos built their family business into one of Canada’s biggest and most celebrated condominium developers—one that’s still family-owned and going strong 85 years later. And since that first house, Tridel has developed affiliate companies that have reached the top of their game in property management, rentals, realty brokerage, seniors’ housing, and developing the future of how we live.

It’s that long view on what makes a building home—every single aspect of how we live in condominiums—that’s made Tridel such a success. It’s a unique understanding of condominium as real community, transformed into in-house expertise through affiliated companies dedicated to supporting each other. With that powerhouse team managing every aspect of Tridel buildings, it’s clear why for almost a century, the Tridel name has meant reliability, excellence, and unmatched expertise.

It also means that DelSuites opens our doors to you with the support of every Tridel Group member at our backs. When you stay with DelSuites, a Guest Services call is your portal to everything from smooth, professional property management, 24-hour assistance, intimate knowledge of our neighbourhoods, and an exquisite, inside-out understanding of how our units and buildings work.

Being part of the Tridel alliance lets you have confidence in a stress-free, seamless stay—with hundreds of team members who’ve got your back.

Stay in Toronto’s most innovative suites

No company lasts over 85 years without changing it up a little—or a lot. That’s why a stay with DelSuites also gives you access to one of Tridel’s signature advantages: pushing the limits of what a condominium suite—or community—can be, in real-time.

DelSuites units are located in some of Tridel’s newest, most cutting-edge condominium communities. That’s more than a modern short-term rental; it’s a chance to spend your trip living on the cutting edge of emerging ways to live in our homes.

Sustainable heating and cooling systems pioneered at the uniquely eco-friendly Element let you keep the temperature where you like it without guilt. At Ten York, tech lovers can use built-in smart home technology for hands-free entry, a video buzzer, digital keyfobs, and unbeatably fast wireless internet.

Staying with DelSuites also gets you access to cutting-edge building amenities and extras. Our buildings feature amenities designed in response to what residents wanted and asked for: workout rooms, social spaces, and swimming pools.

Tridel buildings haven’t stopped pushing to discover what’s next. As a co-founder of Tower Labs at Toronto’s prestigious MaRS Discovery District, Tridel is breaking ground on technologies to make high-rise living greener, cleaner, and smarter. And as new innovations come online in Tridel’s current projects, DelSuites will be there to offer a taste of what’s next.

Eco-friendly travel—from the ground up

The future is green living—and staying with DelSuites means the future’s already here.

Tridel leads across Canada in building sustainable, eco-friendly condominiums—with the most LEED-certified buildings in the country and a Corporate Housing Providers Association Best Green Progress Award recognizing our commitment to living green.

With cutting-edge technology being rolled out with every project, you can be confident your DelSuites stay is green from the ground up—and you’re meeting your personal or company goals to do your part for our climate.

On paper, that means typical Tridel buildings use 34% less electricity, 57% less natural gas and 43% less potable water than your average high-rise. What that means for you?

When you walk through the door of your suite, you’ll breathe cleaner air, not feeling too warm or too cold, and using less water and power as you enjoy your normal day. And with a fully stocked kitchen, ensuite laundry facilities, and on-site recycling, you can pack lighter, wash more, and throw out less.

Tridel buildings are also carefully planned to offer green space, eco-friendly transit, and be a real part of a sustainable neighbourhood. At each of our locations, you’ll find Toronto’s famous parks and ravines at your door—or bikes, transit, and walkable, vibrant city life ready for the taking.

Built on an 85-year promise

DelSuites is committed to old-fashioned hospitality—with a modern, convenient twist. And as part of the Tridel Group, we know our welcome is backed up by a history of proven quality and a fierce appetite for doing things the better way.

That’s why all our luxury furnished apartments call Tridel buildings home—and why we’re proud to be part of the Tridel community.
