Highmark Homes traces its roots to Gino Lucchese, who entered the Canadian homebuilding industry in 1959 and established a homebuilding company with his brother in 1964; the Highmark Homes identity was introduced in 2003 after nearly four decades of hands-on experience. The family business expanded to include Gino’s children and grandchildren, maintaining a family-oriented approach to homebuilding. By 2016, Highmark had built its 500th new home and completed its 10th community, marking significant milestones in its development. Today, Gino Lucchese serves as Founder, Chairman and Construction Visionary, with Joseph Messina as VP of Construction and Anna Messina as CFO. Highmark builds high-rise and mid-rise condominiums, towns and singles, with current communities and developments extending across the GTA and Durham Region, including Whitby, Pickering, Ajax and Cobourg. Its stated approach emphasizes quality construction, vibrant communities and customer commitment, with the company describing its work as hands-on and family-focused. Highmark is also expanding into high-rise condominium development, with projects in Pickering and Whitby forming part of its current development focus. The builder is listed by the Canadian Home Builders’ Association as a Developer/Builder and a member of the Durham Region HBA and BILD Greater Toronto Area.
