Throughout our 40-year history, we have actively supported and donated millions of dollars and thousands of hours to various charities and organizations to not only improve our environment and cities but also the local communities that form around them.
Please see the organizations and contributions that we are most proud to be supporting.
Mirabella has been a proud supporter of The Good Shepherd Ministries over our history and we have donated well over $1,000,000 and thousands of volunteer hours in support of their mission to alleviate the affects of poverty while striving to eliminate chronic homelessness within our community.
We are also proud to be leading the creation and completion of Mathias Place, a new residence by The Good Shepherd that will provide inclusive permanent supportive housing and assisted daily living for low-income senior men and women who have experienced homelessness or are at risk of becoming homeless.
We are proud to be part of the Nature Conservancy of Canada’s largest restoration project in Lake Erie. Mirabella donated $650,000.00 to fund the creation of the Florian Diamante Nature
Reserve, which will include a massive 62-acre wetland on Pelee Island, as well as the restoration of 20-acres of upland habitat, the largest restoration of its kind in Ontario. Drained in the late 1800s, this former marsh once sheltered migratory songbirds and waterfowl. When complete, the wetland will support migratory birds, turtles, salamanders and a multitude of other species. The wetland will also provide critically important water retention, filtration and flood mitigation to the local community.
Our company pledged $500,000 to Pollinate Collingwood to fund the Canopy Bees + Tress Program, which has so far supported the planting and protection of 700 trees and 81 residential pollinator gardens within the Town of Collingwood. This community greening project is aimed at increasing the Town's urban tree canopy and pollinator habitat on private lands by providing a financial incentive to Collingwood residents on the purchase of up to two trees from a nursery or garden centre operation, or the materials required to establish a native pollinator garden on private property.
At Mirabella Development Corporation, we recognize the critical need for affordable housing and are committed to creating opportunities that offer affordable housing options to those who need them. We have prior experience working with the government to develop two turnkey award-winning, non-profit housing developments in Ontario - 520 Kingston Rd. for Cityhome and a LiUNA! Social Housing Development in Ottawa. We recently partnered with Habitat for Humanity GTA to provide affordable homes at our Mirabella Condominiums project for Unity Health Network workers and have welcomed five amazing families into our newest community.

This condominium on the north east corner of College and Bay Sts. takes its cue from one of the city’s favourite Art Moderne structures – the former Eaton’s College St. building across the street. Light in colour with the rounded corners and a streamlined verticality, The Royalton echoes the style of its high-profile neighbour. Architect Attila Burka called this project, (located on an “impossible 100-foot by 100-foot site” between a government building), his “Swiss watch” for its complex interlocking plan incorporating 137 suites. This trendsetting project helped pioneer the movement towards the replacement of C-class office buildings with residential condominiums, and introduced residential uses to Bay St. near the business district. The Royalton features an extraordinary roof-top garden and party area, guest suites, and full catering kitchen.

Nestled within an area between High Park and Lake Ontario, Mirabella Condominiums combines urban living within one of the most natural settings in Toronto and is Mirabella Development’s latest building. Mirabella, composed of two 38-storey towers connected by a 10-storey podium, provides 724 units, over 20,000 sq.ft. of indoor amenity space and almost 18,000 sq.ft. of outdoor amenity space, making it one of the largest residential buildings in Toronto.
Mirabella has achieved the voluntary Tier 2 level of the Toronto Green Standards Version 2 and is registered under the LEED® green building rating system with a goal of LEED® Gold. Achieving both of these certifications requires the building to implement numerous environmental initiatives in order to optimize energy performance and to minimize our environmental footprint well beyond what is a standard.
Mirabella also features “motion in air (ma)”, one of the largest installations of public art in Toronto, if not Canada, on a private sector project. The artwork, which spans the length of a football field, is made up of over 500 recyclable aluminum panels which have been installed across and directly on the north façade of the podium. This beautiful installation is seen by over 150,000 people per day travelling along the Gardiner Expressway and by GO train and perfectly integrates with the building’s design and natural surroundings, celebrating and enhancing the environment while using durable, eco-friendly materials
