SmartCentres was founded over 30 years ago, because we believed that Canadians deserved convenient access to affordable retail.
By fulfilling those needs, SmartCentres expanded into communities in every province across Canada.
Canadians now need transit-connected homes with urban amenities. So, SmartCentres has evolved and SmartLiving has emerged to redefine Canadian communities.
Backed by SmartCentres’ extensive experience, SmartLiving leverages in-house land development experts to drive residential initiatives coast-to-coast. We are now planning, developing, building, and managing holistic pedestrian-focused communities, enabling Canadians to live life without compromise.
