FLATO Developments Inc. was launched in 2005 by Shakir Rehmatullah, who continues to serve as the company’s Founder and President, giving the builder more than 20 years of operating experience in Ontario. Based in Markham, Ontario, FLATO develops and builds residential communities, low-rise and high-rise buildings, condominiums, townhomes, semi-detached and single-family homes, as well as commercial and mixed-use developments. The company’s work spans communities across Southern Ontario and the Greater Toronto Area, with current and past developments in locations including Markham, Brampton, Vaughan, Richmond Hill, Oakville, Caledon, Beeton, Dundalk and Lindsay. FLATO emphasizes context-sensitive community planning, distinctive architecture, detailed design and quality construction, with its approach shaped around understanding the character of each location before development begins. Its homes feature open, modern and light-filled interiors, while the company’s décor process provides purchasers with opportunities for personalized selections and consultations. Customer service is presented as an important part of the homeownership experience, extending from the initial purchase through pre-delivery inspection and post-closing customer care. FLATO also identifies community building and giving back to the communities where it operates as an important part of its corporate philosophy, supporting initiatives in healthcare, education, arts and local community services.
