Ariston Realty was formed in 1988 to service and bridge the real estate needs of the downtown business community with that of the rest of the GTA. Originally employing a small staff of downtown professionals to service the high-end retail and office sectors of the downtown core, we were located in the heart of Yorkville in the commercial tower of The Park Hyatt (formerly the Park Plaza) at the corner of Bloor Street West and Avenue Road.  

From 1991 to 1994 the existing partnership joined Ariston Realty to expand the full service format to include expertise in Land, Retail, Development, Industrial, Investments, Management and Consulting services. During the nineties the company was responsible for the assembly of hundreds of Acres in Vaughan and York regions (including present day Woodbridge) and many retail plaza strip centres in the GTA and Southern Ontario cities. To handle the increased real estate business, property management and investing performed for our overseas investors here in North America, we increased our office space in the Park Hyatt Commercial Tower.

More recently we have moved from our Park Hyatt offices to larger renovated offices in The Kingsway/Bloor West Village area. Still conveniently on the subway line, our move was based on providing convenience, better exposure and easy access for parking, highways and service to our clients, institutions and general public.

Ariston Realty Corp. is a partnership comprised of highly talented individuals that collectively have over 100 years of first hand experience in all facets of the marketplace. Our boutique size allows us an advantage over cumbersome larger companies, especially when it comes to the private and confidential issues concerning your business.

Cambridge (2005 population 120,000) is located on the Grand River and Speed River in the Region of Waterloo, Ontario, Canada. The city was formed in 1973 when the city of Galt merged with the towns of Preston and Hespeler and parts of the townships of Waterloo and North Dumfries. When amalgamation plans were first announced, the combined city was to be named Galt, but Preston and Hespeler successfully petitioned the province to instead give the city a new name, to be selected by a referendum on choices submitted by the three members. A ruffled Galt submitted ‘Blair’, while Preston and Hespeler combined to back ‘Cambridge’, after ‘Cambridge Mills’, an early name for the settlement that became Preston. The first mayor of Cambridge was Claudette Millar, who at the time was one of the few female mayors, and at 35 the youngest mayor, in Canada. On May 17, 1974 flooding on the Grand River was so intense it filled city streets with water to a depth of about four feet. Countless businesses and homes were severely damaged. In 1986, Toyota Motor Manufacturing Canada opened a plant in Cambridge, which employs 3500 people and is by far the city’s largest employer. Although highly beneficial to the town, traffic issues caused by slow-moving and long trains passing through main traffic routes to deliver material to the plant have caused some frustration in residents. Several other industrial companies also call Cambridge home, including ATS Automation Tooling Sytems, Frito-Lay Canada (formerly Hostess), Babcock and Wilcox, and Northstar Aerospace. A satellite campus of Conestoga College is located within the city, and the University of Waterloo School of Architecture has moved to downtown Cambridge. Earned the nickname ‘City of Ghosts’ due to the many number of spirit sightings. It is said that many of the ghost sightings take place at Galt Collegiate and Vocational Institute, Ontario's oldest continuously operating public high school, and over 150 years old. Commonly called the Castle on the Grand because of the architecture and imposing view on the east bank of the River. There has been a number of ‘Spirit Walks’ held in Cambridge Cemeteries around Halloween. Cambridge is located close to many cultural events and activities, including the Elmira Sugar Festival, Rock the Mill music festival in downtown Galt, and Kitchener-Waterloo Oktoberfest.
