MDM Developments Development Manager Joe Sasso, “Having the opportunity to build projects surrounded by natural beauty against one of the most picturesque backdrops in Canada is an exciting experience,” he states. “Our roots are in Muskoka, and as Ontario moves ahead with plans to reopen the province’s economy and ease restrictions with the pandemic, a lot of residents of the Greater Toronto Area are looking to escape the concrete jungle and inflated home prices, have looked to the communities we develop in to the pristine bodies of water lakes and tranquil forests and trails for a safe haven and greater value for their investment. Our locations offer offers a relaxing oasis for buyers, a great place to enjoy swimming, boating, golf, hiking and resort-style living.”
MDM Developments’ mantra is based on the principle that ‘Home Is Closer Than You Think.’ This ideology is rooted in the concept that each project they build should be an authentic representation of each individual family, designed to complement each family member’s unique present and future
lifestyle needs. “The idea of buying a piece of property in such a welcoming and tranquil community setting is very appealing to both a young couple looking to raise a family and who want more space or the retiree who wants to relax and unwind. Our homes have become our workplace, our playground, and our sanctuary where family, community and convenience need to come together.”
ASSETS IN PLACE
The team at MDM Developments consists of a close-knit group of highly qualified professionals that all
contribute to the success of the firm. Sasso understands the importance of having the right people to be part of their team and they work hard to retain their employees for a number of years. “We always want our staff to have the same enthusiasm for what we do and the same energy and drive. We’re like family, and we all take what we do very personally. We feel that is important because that translates directly to our clients,” he states. The energy, passion and enthusiasm the team at MDM Developments possess for building homes translates into high quality customer service for their clients. One major key component the MDM team focuses on is taking the time to really listen to their clients. Clients want a company who understands their needs and wants, asks the right questions, understands a buyer’s individualized style and most importantly, is responsive and considerate throughout the entire home buying experience. “Our team is always here to answer any questions that our clients may have, and we work with them to address any issues that arise throughout the entire process,” says Sasso. “We understand that for some homeowners making selections can be a difficult stage, and our team tries to provide as much insight and guidance as possible to help you make the right choices for your home.”
With keeping these important factors in mind, the MDM team creates strong rapport with their clients and has maintained lasting relationships with families throughout the city. Building meaningful relationships is also important to MDM Developments when it comes to their trades and sub-contractors – that’s the only way to ensure consistent quality and efficiency. “We have great partners that we work with. We work closely with all our partners such as Bertram Construction (Ontario) LTD., MAK Mechanical, Pearson Engineering and our direct team works closely to ensure we’re all on the same page. Having that integration with all of our key partners is essential for us to get the job completed effectively,” he says.

It will be a perfect place for families to call home and raise their children. The Brix is designed to celebrate and honour the landscape it graces with an emphasis on lush parklands and connections to nature and the historic Creemore business district. “Creemore offers small town charm and character offering ample opportunity for buyers to come together to celebrate rural Ontario living,” says Sasso. “Residents of The Brix will be surrounded by green space, lush parklands, nature trails, and tranquil waterways that can be enjoyed year-round. It’s conveniently situated just minutes away from Creemore’s quaint business core and offers residents plenty of boutique eateries and retailers to enjoy and support.”
MOVING FORWARD
Sasso says the company will continue to pursue improvements aligned with their key beliefs. He anticipates this will lead to additional positive results and will strengthen the position of the firm as the developer of choice. “We work on 4 or 5 projects a year so ideally we’d like to double that number and grow our presence in communities and cities throughout Ontario,” Sasso says. “We are looking for opportunities to expand further east such as Belleville, and take advantage of markets that were once considered secondary markets that have now become some of the most sought after places to live.”
