WHAT MAKES A HOME WORTH MORE?
A high-quality home starts with architectural excellence and quality materials. Since the beginning, Gold Park Homes has been committed to building homes with superior value, not just to create a strong investment, but for the promise of a home that will stand proudly for generations. Through thoughtful architecture, high-end materials, and masterful craftsmanship, every Gold Park Home is guaranteed to be structurally sound, timelessly tasteful, and simply Worth More.
In fact, we can prove it. In 2023, BILD recognized Gold Park Homes for two prestigious awards-not only is The Beaumont, a magnificent design within Pine Valley, celebrated as Best Innovative Home Design, but our striking Oakgrove model home at Pine Valley won Best Model Home for the second time! Even given years for more competitors to join the fray, Gold Park remains the reigning champion of superior quality. We couldn’t be more proud of these achievements.

IT BEGINS ON THE GROUND
From the very start, Gold Park has been building homes with a deep insight that only comes from hands-on experience. Our people began on the ground as tradesmen, seeing firsthand the difference that quality makes in construction-a legacy which continues with Michael Cipriano and his active role in the homebuilding process. And of course, without a strong foundation and trustworthy craftsmanship, fancy finishes have nothing to hold onto.
And so, Gold Park has always taken the time and effort to carefully consider every facet of a new community and new home before even beginning to build. Because quality isn’t just in the high-end features you can put in a home. It starts with the location, the architecture, and the design. It’s carried throughout the foundation, the framing, and the insulation. In a Gold Park Home, the quality is in every single detail of every single home. And that’s the biggest difference of all.
THE VALUE OF COMMUNITY
The importance of location has been celebrated the world over as the biggest contributor to a thriving community. Gold Park has always hand-selected the most remarkable neighbourhoods to build in, giving our homeowners access to everything they need in order to live a well-balanced lifestyle. Vaughan, Kleinburg, Brampton, Richmond Hill, and all the coveted addresses in between – these are the places we’ve dedicated ourselves to.
But of course, community isn’t just about location. Each of our neighbourhoods is designed with the intention to encourage neighbours to engage with each other, and the world around them. This is accomplished through uniquely welcoming exteriors of genuine brick and stone with striking architectural details, creating streets that feel inviting to walk, talk, or play, as well as purpose-built spaces to come together, like parks, playgrounds, walking paths. By taking the time and effort to consider these elements of a community before even having a shovel in the ground, Gold Park is already ahead of the crowd. Our neighbourhoods foster a sense of community and identity unique to places well-loved by their residents.
DESIGNED WITH DISTINCTION
Across the industry, you’ll see countless well-built homes. But what they lack is vision. Time and time again, rooms in a new home look identical, with only appliances to make the distinction of a space’s purpose. But architecture is an art that we painstakingly preserve, finding the balance between traditional styles, modern lifestyles, and subtle yet exquisite details to create elegant yet welcoming homes. Elements such as coffered or waffle ceilings, custom fireplace features, wall panelling, and colonial-style baseboards, crown moulding, and and large casement windows transform the inside of a home from four walls and a roof into a true work of art.
Even on the outside, Gold Park adds details that other builders may forget. Soaring finials and heritage-style metal roof accents. Pitched rooflines and unique bell curves. Decorative precast columns, keystones, and windowsills, with cornice and frieze detailing. Contemporary metal siding. Together, each element combines to create a rich tapestry of texture, colour, and style that simultaneously adds visual interest and presents a cohesive and complementary streetscape. Because it’s the details that make a difference.
PREMIUM MATERIALS
Of course, to build a home that maintains its value for decades, using the highest quality products is non-negotiable. With such vast experience in the trades, we know exactly what it takes to construct homes that will last. High-quality lumber, superior insulation, and high-performance “I” joist flooring systems are just the beginning.
Throughout our communities, Gold Park has implemented some of the finest materials as a standard in order to ensure that each and every home meets our standards. Natural oak hardwood flooring, solid oak stair treads, and imported porcelain tile guarantee a beautiful, long-lasting floor. Quartz or granite countertops not only in the kitchen, but also in your bathrooms, creates a sense of understated luxury. Custom millwork with extended upper cabinets and matching crown moulding add an air of sophistication to your kitchen. And these are just the standard features. With upgrades available to customize every home, quality materials are a guarantee.
INSIGHT FROM THE INSIDE
Behind Gold Park’s success is a wealth of personal, hands-on experience. As industry leaders, we consider it our responsibility to help shed some light on our processes, values, and priorities in the homebuilding process.
Q: Do you believe the quality of the materials impact the quality of the craftsmanship?
A: Yes, without a doubt. Inferior materials result in sub-par workmanship, since no matter the skill of the tradespeople, poor quality lumber can warp, swell, or shrink, leaving all sorts of structural problems. The same goes for finishes. Lower quality materials aren’t always square, don’t last long, and can break during the installation process, which results in more time and effort spent with less impressive results.
Q: What do you consider the most important element to have high quality materials? I.e. floors, appliances, roofing, millwork, etc.
A: Each element is equally important in their own way. A high-quality home must have a reliable structure and a well-built roof is essential, but the finishes inside are the parts you see and appreciate every day.
Q: How much variety is there for clients to choose their finishes from?
A: Gold Park offers a wide variety of finishes and styles to choose from in each community. We make sure that even our standard finishes have many options to personalize your home, with upgrades available for those seeking an even higher level of quality or a more unique style.
