Jonathan Goldman

HISTORY

In 1945, a Russian immigrant named Samuel Goldman, a modest bricklayer and carpenter, build his first custom home in Toronto with the help of his eldest son Murray who had immigrated to Toronto and established the family business a few years earlier. Throughout the 50s and 60s, Murray guided the business and worked hand in hand with his father, learning the craft of building and the creative redevelopment of the neighbourhoods on his own. Murray in the upcoming years become one of the most prolific redevelopers of land and visionary real estate developers in Canada. These small but significant steps would develop into a trusted and respected building tradition, six decades, four generations and several continents deep.

Gary Goldman, Chairman and CEO of Stafford, joined his father Murray in the early 80s after successful careers in both brokerage and financial services. Under his leadership Stafford has built several thousand homes and commercial properties. During his thirty plus year history of residential and commercial construction Stafford has become the diversified group of companies that is it today.

Jonathan Goldman, President of Stafford, is a highly accomplished real estate and infrastructure developer with over 20 years of experience building projects in many different sectors. Jonathan started his career in the real estate industry as a commercial investment broker and subsequently built and sold one of the country’s largest renewable energy development firms before partnering with his Father Gary. Jonathan also heads up Stafford’s Venture Group and spearheads new initiatives for the organization. Jonathan is a member of several associations including the Young Presidents Association (YPO) and sits on committees and boards for over a dozen charitable organizations.

The Goldmans have won many design awards over the years for their excellence in design and construction. Stafford and The Goldman Group have long since been recognized as leaders in urban renewal with such high profile projects as Downsview Park, Avenue & Park, The SkyLofts, Film District Towns, Castle Hill, The Ports, The Brownstones of Soho, The Bell Estates, Forest Hill Lofts, and the Picasso to name just a few. For over 60 years and four generations, The Goldmans continuously work to shape the housing industry of the future to create spaces you would be proud to grow your families memories.
