TEAM

OUR CAST &
CREW.

“We approach every project the same way — by thinking about how people interact with their environment; public spaces and the wider community. This sense of connection is at the core of all our projects.”

Gary Silverberg

“Début was designed with Barrie’s future in mind and how to transform the city into a dynamic urban and rural environment.”

Andrew Shields

“The interior design centres around being creative with storage solutions, through design ideas that enhance people’s experiences in a functional sense.”

Johnson Chou

Gary Silverberg

DEVELOPER

As a real estate developer and artist, Gary Silverberg is driven by the idea of constantly finding ways to improve how we live. Whether it’s taking a community on the cusp of change and breathing new life into it, or finding ways of making improvements in our lived experience to seamlessly blend retail and living spaces into a new form of live / work space.

With more than 40 years of experience across all real estate sectors, including commercial and retail, Gary approaches every project the same way – by thinking about how people interact with their environment, including private and shared spaces, and the wider community. This sense of connection is at the core of all his projects.

Art Condos – a first-of-its-kind live / work space designed by Gary to cater to the authentic nature of Toronto’s Queen West community – was dubbed one of five top condos in Toronto by the Globe and Mail. The building is exemplary of being aesthetically pleasing, functional, and easily understood from a human scale.
