Minto Group, a leading Canadian real estate developer, is facing the challenges of a rapidly evolving real estate market by focusing on innovation and adaptability.
The real estate sector has faced some of the most significant challenges in the industry’s history – from the global drive to reduce carbon emissions to the acute housing shortage crisis in Canada.
