OUR STORY
— BUILDING WHAT
MATTERS MOST
Arrow Down

The Allister Group — founded on a belief that homes should do more than provide shelter; they should endure, support families, and create lasting value. With over 50 years of experience leading development across Southern Ontario, founders Jay and Sheldon Libfeld bring deep expertise in building everything from intimate low-rise communities to landmark high-rises.

The name Allister combines the names of the founders’ great-grandparents, Alexander and Ester. Their son, the founders’ father, immigrated to Canada with nothing and went on to build one of the country’s largest development companies. That legacy of resilience and building continues today through The Allister Group, creating homes and communities where families and investors can build legacies of their own.

As a vertically integrated developer, The Allister Group oversees every step of a build, from land acquisition and planning to design, construction, and customer care, ensuring consistency, precision, and reliability in every project.
