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.

Unionville is a suburban community that is located within Markham, 33 km NE of downtown Toronto, south of Lake Simcoe and 13 km SE of Richmond Hill. Main Street, which was Kennedy Road in the mid to late 20th century, runs through Unionville while the new Kennedy runs 300 m to the east. Buttonville is located in the westcentral part of Markham. The population is presently about 110,000 including the area of Denison. Rouge River runs north of the central part of Unionville and to the southeast. The highway (Highway 404) is to the west, the nearest interchange with the 407 ETR is 2 km south on Kennedy Rd. The population lives in almost all parts of Unionville except for the southcentral industrialized area. The railway line which links the area to Toronto via GO Train Service once ran as far as Lindsay, Ontario. Tourism is a major part of Unionville's economy. The historic villiage or downtown section of Unionville remains virtually unchanged from its founding in the early 1800's. The historic Main Street attracts thousands of visitors each year. Each year, thousands visit Unionville during the Unionville Festival. This festival was organized by Matthew J. Fox to raise awareness of the historical nature of the area, in an effort to avoid major development. As a staunch advocate of smalltown ideals, Matthew Fox was the curator of the Unionville Festival for 30 years, attracting such acts as Frank Zappa, Gloria Estefan and the Miami Soundmachine not to mention the late, great Wesley Willis. Today it serves to showcase local businesses, vendors and as a tribute to the man who held it's hand to becoming the cultural pinnacle of Unionville.
