ABOUT US
Few builders have the longevity of Yorkwood in the highly competitive new home market in Toronto and the GTA. With over five decades of experience, Yorkwood Homes has achieved many milestones, and is recognized as one of the most visionary builders in the industry. The company principals have been deeply involved in the professional building associations in both Toronto and in Canada, impacting those organizations with their legendary business savvy.
Yorkwood is a family business, spawned from the hard work and commitment of founder Joe Godfrey, who started building in Toronto in the early 1950's. Ten thousand homes and three generations later, Yorkwood Homes continues to be a driving force in the new home industry — building stellar family communities throughout the Greater Toronto Area.
