A 42-storey mixed-use condominium tower at the northeast corner of Dundas Street West and Acorn Avenue — one of Toronto's most strategically positioned transit-adjacent sites.

Together, they brought Marlin Spring Developments to the table, forging an ownership partnership with one of Canada's most dynamic and respected builders.

The Man Behind the Project

This Project Did Not
Exist Before Anthony.

The Goodyear Village — now known as Lake & Town — did not emerge from a developer's spreadsheet or a city planning committee. It was born from the relentless vision and personal determination of one man: Anthony J. Italiano.

When others saw a decommissioned industrial site — the former Goodyear tire plant in South Etobicoke — Anthony saw a lakeside community waiting to be born. He didn't just see the opportunity. He built it from nothing, brick by brick, relationship by relationship, handshake by handshake.

He sat down with the former Goodyear plant workers — the people who had given decades of their lives to that site — and listened. He earned their trust. He honoured the legacy of what stood there before. That human foundation is what made everything else possible.

He then went directly to the executives at Barry Plastics — the company that had acquired the site — and negotiated the acquisition with the precision and conviction of someone who already knew exactly what this land would become. He didn't wait for the deal to come to him. He created it.

He worked the corridors of City Hall, building relationships with every relevant official, councillor, and planning authority. He didn't just seek approvals — he built genuine partnerships with the people who shape Toronto's future. He earned their support because he deserved it.

The final piece was finding the right development partner. Anthony brought the vision and the groundwork to Menkes Development — one of Canada's most respected builders — and together they found a shared belief in what Lake & Town could become for the community.

The Workers

Engaged former Goodyear plant employees from the ground level — honouring the site's industrial legacy and earning the community's trust before a single plan was drawn.

The Acquisition

Worked directly with Barry Plastics executives to acquire the former Goodyear site — creating the opportunity through strategic vision and relationship-driven negotiation.

City Hall

Built deep relationships with Toronto city officials, councillors, and planning authorities — securing full municipal support through genuine partnership, not bureaucratic process.

Menkes

Brought the project vision to Menkes Development — one of Canada's premier builders — and helped forge the partnership that turned the concept into a completed community.

Lake & Town

The result: a landmark lakeside urban townhome community in South Etobicoke, occupied June 2023 — a thriving neighbourhood built on years of quiet, dedicated work.

"Lake & Town is a testament to what happens when the right people come together around a shared vision — community advocates, city leaders, a world-class builder, and a development consultant who believed in the neighbourhood long before anyone else did."

CAVO Condos · The Assembly

Five Homes.
Five Conversations. One Vision.

Before CAVO Condos could exist — before Minto Communities could build a single floor of its 24 storeys — someone had to create the land it stands on. That someone was Anthony J. Italiano.

The site at 12-20 Cordova Avenue was not a vacant lot. It was not a decommissioned industrial property. It was five separate residential homes, each owned by a different family, each with their own history, their own attachment to the land, and their own reasons to say no.

Anthony sat down with every single one of them. Not through intermediaries. Not through lawyers sending letters. He went directly to each homeowner, listened to their concerns, understood what mattered to them, and built the kind of trust that only comes from genuine human engagement. He earned every yes.

This is the work that never appears in a developer's press release. It is painstaking, personal, and irreplaceable. Without Anthony's ability to connect with people — to make them feel heard, respected, and fairly treated — there is no site. There is no deal. There is no CAVO.

Once the land was assembled, Anthony brought Minto Communities — one of Canada's most established residential developers — to the opportunity he had created. The result is a 24-storey, 327-suite luxury condominium at one of Etobicoke's most connected intersections: Bloor & Islington, steps from the subway, surrounded by parks, retail, and the energy of Toronto West.

CAVO exists because Anthony assembled it. The land, the relationships, the opportunity — all of it created by one man, from the ground up.

The Homeowners

Worked personally with all five original homeowners at 12-20 Cordova Avenue — sitting with each family, earning their trust, and negotiating each acquisition individually.

The Assembly

Assembled five separate residential properties into a single development-ready site — the foundational act that made CAVO possible.

Minto Communities

Brought Minto Communities — one of Canada's most respected residential developers — to the opportunity Anthony had created. The partnership was built on the credibility he earned.

CAVO Condos

24 storeys. 327 suites. Walk Score 83, Transit Score 97. A landmark address at Bloor & Islington — built on a site assembled one homeowner at a time.

"CAVO is not a Minto project on a site that happened to be available. It is an Anthony Italiano project — assembled from five families' homes, one conversation at a time — that Minto had the wisdom to build."

Every great project begins with a great relationship. This one began at a sushi restaurant.

Anthony J. Italiano and his brothers sat down with the original owners of the site — a remarkable husband and wife whose vision for the land matched their own. Over many conversations, across many meals, something rare was built: genuine trust. Not a transaction. A partnership.

From that foundation, Anthony brought Marlin Spring Developments to the table — one of Canada's most dynamic and forward-thinking builders, known for delivering bold, design-forward communities across the GTA. Together, they hold an ownership stake in what will become one of Etobicoke's most significant new addresses.

At 42 storeys and 143.25 metres, 5280 Dundas will rise above the Kipling Station area — 462 suites of mixed residential and retail, steps from one of Toronto's most connected transit hubs. Designed by Jahan Mehr Architects with a world-class engineering team behind it.

The Owners

A visionary husband and wife — the original landowners — whose belief in the right partnership set everything in motion. Anthony and his brothers earned their trust over many conversations.

The Partnership

Anthony and his brothers joined as ownership partners — bringing their development expertise, relationships, and conviction to a site with extraordinary potential.

Marlin Spring

Anthony brought Marlin Spring Developments to the opportunity — one of Canada's most respected and design-forward builders — forging an ownership partnership built on shared ambition.

5280 Dundas

42 storeys. 462 suites. 143.25 metres. Steps from Kipling Station. A landmark tower rising from a relationship that started over dinner.

"The best deals are never just deals. They are relationships — built slowly, honestly, and with a shared belief in what something could become."
