WHOLE COMMUNITIES
"Whoever Wishes to Foresee the Future
Must Consult the Past" - Machiavelli
Prior to modern transportation and suburbia, communities gathered in town, village or church centred squares. Communities would assemble for a variety of social, cultural, religious and other events, providing opportunities to support, encourage and relate with neighbours, at times, only seen during these events. It adhered the social fabric of society.
​
The need to engage, communicate, share, be with others, is part of the human condition. The prosperity of a nation, in many ways, has and continues to be reflected in our ability to focus on the common good, with neighbours & fellow citizens. In creating these communities & neighbourhoods, forms the building blocks of a prosperous vibrant society.
LIVE WORK TEACH LEARN PLAY
The concept of Live Work Teach Learn Play is not new – however, creating a properly functioning community with these concepts, requires long term vison and proper execution. MPAR/Rossbro built these communities In the late 1990’s , as seniors projects in Vaughan. These seniors’ communities, focused on immigrant populations, who had become isolated in their later years.
A shared culture and immigrant experience created opportunities for new lasting bonds , with new and old acquaintances. . Providing magnificent common spaces, a variety of activities, social directors that engaged them in what mattered, and evolved over time, based on the resident’s needs. Projects were built on a continuum of care model, allowing residents to live in this tight knit community throughout their life . Accessing additional care as required, maintaining continued friendships and familiarity they’d become accustomed to.
The master- plan communities currently being developed by MPAR, expands on this community concept, just on a broader scale. Starting with the residents/homeowners, all forms of housing will be provided- from starter to seniors, affordable to luxury, studios to three bedrooms.
Common areas, and an abundance of open/outdoor space is central to the lifestyle. Condo/apartment life requires spaces to get out and enjoy surroundings and neighbourhood, engaging with neighbours. The podiums of our communities provide most of the activities required for a balanced lifestyle. What’s not feasible on site, will be brought it or arranged for, in off-site participation.

Vision. Long Term Outlook.
MEDHUB®
Health and well-being is central to our communities. Through MEDHUB, our private/public health care system, residents have access to leading edge, progressive health care., including a proactive preventative approach. Physical activity will be available as part of the health care program with gyms, spas and other facilities/programs.
We look to attract cutting edge employers to the office space component, in technology, medicine, communication, research, among others. In collaboration with The Toronto Clinic, McMaster University, public health providers , and others in the field , we intend to be a catalyst in providing efficiency in the health care field.
EVENT CENTER
Hotel/Event Centre- As a Marriott franchisee, a minimum of one brand is located at each community. With that, comes event space (s) based on the specific requirements of the project.
Bellvue Entertainment and Hospitality has and will continue to offer social and community activity at its Bellvue Event Centre (VMCC ®) and other upcoming Venues. Events include charity galas, corporate and business seminars/team building, live theatre / musical events, hosting of cultural/country galas for a range of ethnic, religious and political organizations. Thus, the Bellvue project, will act as a central hub for cultural, social, business and community activity.
SUSTAINABILITY
Sustainability - Another central focus with MPAR, and in collaboration with leading corporations in that field. (i.e. Schneider, Corix, Alectra, Breakthrough Energy)
The goal in each project is to be carbon neutral, net zero. Furthermore, as technologies mature, the possibility of being a net exporter of energy, will soon be within our reach.
