About Us
When planning new communities, Mattamy Homes CEO Peter Gilgan draws inspiration from the New Urbanist movement. This includes designing communities to be pedestrian-friendly, preserving natural environments wherever possible, and residents should be provided with numerous local amenities. This approach, combined with constant adaption to new trends in design and homeownership, has led to Mattamy becoming the largest private home builder in North America.
Mattamy Homes was founded in 1978. Since then, Gilgan and his team have overseen the company’s successful expansion both across Canada and into some of the US’s most competitive housing markets. Throughout this period of growth, Mattamy has received a slew of awards, a highlight being winning BILD’s Homebuilder of the Year award in 2018, 2017, 2015, 2014 and 2011. In addition, the company has consistently been named one of the best places to work in Canada. This allows them to recruit the most experienced and dedicated industry professionals, who then deliver clients on-time results and excellent customer service. In addition, Mattamy believes in giving back to the communities of which it is a part-and has made generous donations to numerous charity organizations. The Peter Gilgan Foundation has directed over $260 million dollars to causes such as environmental protection, educational initiatives and youth organizations.
