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.

Toronto is a Canadian city located on the northwestern shore of Lake Ontario, and is the provincial capital of Ontario. Toronto is a global city, exerting significant regional, national, and international influence, and is one of the world's most multicultural and ethnically diverse cities. It is Canada's financial centre and economic engine, as well as one of the country's most important cultural, artistic, and health sciences centres. Toronto was named the world's most livable city in 1994 by The Economist. It was displaced in 2005 by Vancouver, but is still ranked among the top ten. The city of Toronto proper has a population of 2,481,494 inhabitants (2001 census) and is the most populous city in Canada. The population of the Toronto Census Metropolitan Area (CMA) is estimated at 5,304,100 inhabitants in 2005. The Greater Toronto Area (GTA), slightly larger than the Toronto CMA, is defined by provincial authorities for urban planning purposes. Toronto is at the centre of the Golden Horseshoe, a densely populated region in Ontario which is home to roughly eight million people, or one quarter of the Canadian population. In 1998, the current City of Toronto was amalgamated from its six prior municipalities and regional government. The current mayor of Toronto is David Miller. In January 2005, it was designated by the federal government as one of Canada's cultural capitals. Toronto is sometimes nicknamed T.O., The Big Smoke, or Hogtown.
