Baif Developments Limited is a fully-integrated real estate development company founded by builders Sandy Hofstedter and Simon Minz in the early 1960’s. Since its inception, Baif has built over 20,000 new homes and executed both urban and suburban communities throughout the GTA. In the 1960’s, when they first started, they partnered with Acorn Developments. Their goal was to be a fully integrated real estate company that focused on land development and mixed-use buildings. At the time, Baif was instrumental in the initial site development of many of Toronto’s landmarks, including Yonge and Eglinton Centre.
