What We Do

We source, develop,
and build.

01 — Source

We find
the land.

Off-market parcels, private estates, and multi-property assemblies in the Toronto neighbourhoods we know best. Most of what we close never reaches a listing.

Get in Touch →
02 — Develop

We put the
deal & team
together.

Once the land is ours, we assemble the right team — architects, planners, lawyers, construction partners, and capital — and move the site from thesis to shovel. We don’t try to do everything. We partner with the best at every step.

03 — Build

We take
skin in the
game.

DealCore develops its own residential projects and co-invests alongside partners where the thesis is strong. We do not recommend what we would not underwrite ourselves.

Now in Development

One Thelma

Forest Hill · Boutique Residential

A boutique residence in the heart of Forest Hill, composed with the proportions and detailing of a private European residence. Hand-laid masonry, arched glazing, dedicated valet, and a lobby finished in book-matched marble and hand-cast bronze.

Every residence is unique. Every resident, personally known.

ONE THELMA | Luxury Residences →
Now in Development

The Bayview Collection

The Bridle Path · Mid-Rise Residential

A stepped brick-and-stone mid-rise in the heart of The Bridle Path — the only building of its kind in Toronto’s most exclusive residential neighbourhood. Generous balconies, deep window reveals, and a ground-plane that opens onto landscaped gardens.

Built for buyers who have lived in The Bridle Path for decades — and for the next generation moving in.

Track Record

Recent deals,
in our own words.

Scarborough Village · Closed

3718 & 3730 Kingston Road

1.6 acres · High-rise redevelopment site

A 1.6-acre parcel in the heart of Scarborough Village, flanked by two GO stations and a wall of existing high-rise residential. With four new LRT stations planned within walking distance — and unobstructed lake and golf-course views — the site held every amenity a future tower could want.

Scarborough · Closed Assembly

6000 Kingston Road & 1625 Military Trail

Multi-parcel assembly · Student-housing adjacency

The best remaining redevelopment parcel next to the University of Toronto Scarborough campus. In a market where purpose-built student housing is critically undersupplied, we completed the assembly and unlocked the site’s maximum redevelopment potential.

Bayview Village · Closed

699 Sheppard Avenue East

Transit-oriented · Mid-rise potential

Steps from one of the most under-utilized TTC subway stations in Toronto and a short walk to affluent Bayview Village, the upside here was obvious to anyone who looked closely. We did.

Yorkville · Closed

50 Scollard Avenue

Pre-zoned · Yorkville core

The best property in downtown Toronto to change hands in recent memory. Directly across from the Four Seasons Hotel and Residences in the heart of Yorkville — and already fully zoned on the day we bought it.

Downtown East · 8-Property Assembly

Queen Street East & Parliament Street

Eight-parcel assembly · Lease unwinds completed

An eight-property assemblage across Queen Street East, Parliament, and Power Street — including the negotiated unwind of two long-term tenancies (TD Bank and Shoppers Drug Mart) to deliver the site unencumbered.

Etobicoke · Closed

689 The Queensway

1 acre · Mid-rise re-positioning

A one-acre Etobicoke lot with frontage on three streets. Originally positioned as a stacked-townhouse site, our analysis repositioned it for mid-rise — a higher and better use, and a materially better return.

Who We Are

Built on a decade of confidential transactions.

DealCore was founded by Darryl Frankfort, who has originated more than $450 million of Toronto land transactions since 2016 and co-hosts The Canadian Real Estate Show. The practice is deliberately small, deliberately discreet, and focused on the handful of Toronto neighbourhoods where land still compounds.

Our clients are principals, family offices, estate trustees, and developers who expect a single point of accountability — and a conversation that never ends up in a group chat.

Our Process

Measured, confidential, and entirely bespoke.

01

Introduction

A private conversation about your holdings, timeline, and objectives. No pitch deck, no pressure.

02

Thesis

We map the comparables, entitlements, and end-buyer universe — and deliver a written thesis you can act on.

03

Sourcing

We quietly approach owners, developers, or end-users through established relationships — never through public channels.

04

Closing

From LOI to final registration, we stay on the file with your counsel, quantity surveyor, and planning team to the last signature.
