Blackthorn was founded nearly 40 years ago in Toronto, beginning as a small family-run operation. Since then, the firm has grown into a trusted real estate and construction partner, delivering projects across public and private sectors with values reaching over $250 million.
Blackthorn remains a privately held, family-owned firm led by the Da Silva family. That foundation has shaped how the firm operates, with a long-term view, a commitment to relationships, and a focus on delivering projects that stand the test of time. Today, Blackthorn continues to evolve as a development-focused organization, building on decades of experience in construction management, institutional delivery, and complex capital projects.
Across every project, the focus remains consistent: deliver well-executed developments that serve clients, stakeholders, and the communities they become part of.
