Gloria Salomon, Chairperson of DBS Developments, joined industry leaders at the Rental Housing Canada Conference in Ottawa for a panel on one of the most pressing issues in Canadian housing: preserving our aging rental stock.
Much of Canada’s purpose-built rental housing was constructed decades ago and remains critical to housing millions of Canadians today. Rising costs and regulatory pressures make reinvestment more challenging than ever, yet preserving this existing supply is just as essential as building new.
The conversation underscored that modernization and affordability must go hand in hand, and that public policy supporting legacy rental stock will be key to long-term housing stability.
It’s a conversation DBS Developments is proud to be part of, as we continue working to preserve and elevate the rental housing Canadians already call home.
Great design doesn’t happen by accident. We sat down with Natasha, Creative Design Manager at @iibyivdesign, to talk about the vision, the process, and the intentionality behind every detail that makes Bela Square feel like home.
At DBS Developments, every detail is intentional, but the 2Fifteen penthouse takes luxury and attention to detail to an entirely new level.
The Forest Hill Collection moves beyond luxury into something far more rare. Deeply intentional design by Robin Nadal of Wise-Nadal, complete with upgraded Kohler finishes, herringbone hardwood, refined bathroom interiors, built-in fireplaces, and panoramic views. A residence that feels as exceptional as its address.
A major milestone is underway at Metro Park Condos!
As suites at Metro Park Condos near the finish line, homeowners are invited to take part in pre-delivery inspections: their first opportunity to walk through their suite, review every detail, and ensure any deficiencies are noted and addressed promptly.
From there, our in-house Customer Care Coordinator, steps in to provide personalized, one-on-one support, serving as the vital link between our trades and homeowners to ensure every suite is completed and delivered to the DBS standard.
Because exceptional service doesn’t stop at the front door.
This is DBS living.
At DBS Developments, we build more than buildings. We create spaces where life happens, connections are made, and every detail is designed with intention around how our residents want to live.
Live in a DBS community and experience the difference today.
We are excited to share that Metro Park Apartments has reached underground completion, marking a key milestone as the vision begins to take shape above ground.
Quality is never compromised at DBS.
Our unwavering commitment to excellence is reflected in every detail, from the experts we work with to the finished product. That’s why we prioritize relationships, trust and shared vision in every project – from city planners to the contractors on site.
This collaborative approach ensures we deliver the homes Toronto families want and need.
Living spaces that inspire.
From relaxing evenings to restful nights — every room at 2Fifteen feels like home.
The little moments that make a house a home.
From morning light streaming in, to gathering around the table – Bela Square is where life happens naturally.
At DBS, our philosophy starts with our founder, David Salomon, and continues today.
From day one, DBS has been committed to creating homes that families deserve and want to live in – bringing attainable housing to Toronto while never compromising on beautiful design and thoughtful living spaces.
That dedication to longevity and durability remains at the heart of everything we build.
