1981: The Birth of a Vision
Introducing John Zanini, President of Dunpar
Dunpar Homes started with a simple idea: build homes that last, with the same craftsmanship and attention to detail found in the stately, older properties of Toronto. The founder’s journey began by renovating these classic homes, inspired by the master builders of the past. To truly understand the art of fine finishes, he even ran his own millwork shop, perfecting every fit and finish by hand.
His first projects took shape in Toronto’s historic Cabbagetown, near Dundas and Parliament streets. It was there that “Dunpar” got its name—a blend of those two streets—representing a commitment to building homes with character and lasting quality.
Today, every Dunpar community is a reflection of that vision. From scenic ravine lots to lively urban neighborhoods, Dunpar Homes are known for their high standards and timeless appeal. Wherever they build, they elevate the neighborhood, bringing a touch of classic craftsmanship to modern living.

Enduring Quality
Quality starts with an intention-to do our best. From the floors to the finishes, every element has been thoughtfully selected with intent to craft homes that are more than beautiful-they are built to last.
