Six-Time Builder of the year: Award- Winning Homes, Built for How You Live
We’re proud to share that Minto has been named 2025 Production Builder of the Year by the Greater Ottawa Home Builders’ Association, marking our sixth time receiving this honour. Alongside this top award, our homes were also recognized for Best Production Kitchen and Best Mid- or High-Rise Apartment, reinforcing what homeowners across Ottawa already know: when you choose Minto, you’re choosing award-winning design, quality, and care.
Minto’s commitment to the Ottawa community, environmental sustainability, innovation in the industry, unique service offerings and customer-first approach played a big role in being named Production Builder of the Year. This is the second year in a row and the sixth time Minto received the award (2016, 2019, 2021, 2022, 2024, 2025). It’s a great honour and a testament to the dedication and value Minto brings to the city, homeowners, and the CHEO Foundation. GOHBA also awarded the developer with:
