About Sifton Properties Limited
For generations, Sifton Properties has been in the business of building communities. As a family owned and operated organization, we connect like a family and when you’re working with us, you are part of a workplace culture where we trust, understand, support and care about each other.
In 1923, Sifton Properties built our first home in London, Ontario, and as we grew to become one of the area’s most reputable home builders, our business diversified to include commercial construction and leasing, residential rental accommodation, retirement living, golf community lifestyle, land development and property management. If we’ve learned anything in nearly one hundred years of service, it’s that every customer story is as unique as the person telling it.
Understanding and appreciating the uniqueness of every milestone in our customer’s lives has inspired us to build better communities for tomorrow. It has given us the confidence to be innovative and sustainable in our approach, the courage to follow our instincts, and the motivation required to continue shaping skylines across Ontario.
It’s always been extremely important to the Sifton family to be gracious and charitable in support of our communities and to encourage our employees to do the same. With a focus on enriching the lives of children, youth and their families, we are committed to strengthening the cities we serve, and building an organization that we can be proud of.
