The Conservatory Group of Companies

The Conservatory Group of Companies is a privately-owned, diversified major real estate conglomerate operating primarily in the GTA. Conservatory Group was founded in the 1980s by Mr. Theodore Libfeld (“Mr. Libfeld”) who transformed it from the merchant home building business he started in the 1950s into a vertically-integrated real estate conglomerate. Under Mr. Libfeld’s leadership, Conservatory Group flourished and the Libfeld brothers all joined the family business at various times between 1979 and 1987.

Conservatory Group’s principal business is as a residential land developer and home builder, having constructed and sold over 30,000 residences across the GTA. Conservatory Group is involved in land use planning, design, site servicing, home building and property management.

Conservatory Group has acquired and develops land for the construction of single-family homes, townhomes and mediumdensity apartments. In addition, Conservatory Group also develops land and constructs high-density residential sites. As part of certain developments, Conservatory Group develops and constructs ancillary retail and commercial space, such as retail space found in condominium projects.

In addition to its development and home-building business, Conservatory Group is also owner and manager of a portfolio of income-producing properties.

The majority of properties within the Conservatory Group are wholly owned; however, in certain instances, Conservatory Group’s ownership interests are held in conjunction with other parties through joint venture arrangements, and Conservatory Group also retains partial interests in a number of properties.
