Development
Maximizing returns for people, planet and prosperity

Windmill’s strategic areas of focus are shaped by our commitment to maximize environmental and social impact while meeting market realities.

Our current priorities are: urban infill projects, community scale development, and partnerships with like-minded property owners and others seeking to create a One Planet Living future.

Depending on our partners’ needs, we act as Prime Developer or Development Manager.

Windmill seeks to be the Prime Developer on projects where the elements are aligned to deliver positive impact. Our greatest successes have come when the landowner, municipality and community were aligned – from the start – on the overarching vision.

As Development Manager for private and public sector clients, we provide a full range of services, including planning, design, community engagement, rezoning applications and facilitation, permit applications, financing, construction and marketing.

Urban Infill
High impact, mixed-use buildings

Infill sites offer a unique opportunity to revitalize neighbourhoods.

Repurposing existing buildings and/or building anew creates incremental, contextually-sensitive growth. It also enables us to:

  • Capitalize on existing infrastructure, including public transportation, water/sewer infrastructure and green spaces
  • Revitalize urban communities
  • Provide housing for all income levels that allows people to live closer to both amenities and their workplaces.


Community Scale Development
Zero carbon, socially-progressive projects

Leveraging a One Planet Living mindset for community design maximizes the overall health and happiness of communities.

Developments that include residential, office, retail, and other uses at scale offer a range of social and environmental benefits. These include:

  • A curated building and sense of place
  • Infrastructure that promotes active living and less reliance on cars
  • Housing for all income levels that allows people to live closer to both amenities and their workplaces.
  • ‘Planet fit’ district scale solutions
  • Water, energy and waste efficiencies
  • The opportunity for partnerships to enhance positive social collisions and community creativity

Partnerships Collaborations for the greater good

We are open to and excited about working with anyone looking for an ethical way to invest their resources or to create development projects that are financially successful, socially relevant and ecologically sound.

Partners can include other developers, private landowners, investors, social enterprises and faith groups, to name just a few.

We have a great track record working with churches, non-profits and community organizations to maximize the value of under-utilized real estate assets. This not only provides the organization with increased cashflow, but it also helps drive their mission and purpose.
