Hullmark, born and raised in Toronto, demonstrates long-standing commitment to improving neighbourhoods
On the evening of Friday, June 5th, the Riverside BIA and community will launch the Riverside Gateway Bridge Project – a $600,000 capital installation illuminating the iconic Riverside Bridge. The bridge is the gateway to Toronto’s Riverside District, located on Queen Street East, between the DVP and Empire Avenue.
This historic moment is the culmination of three years of effort and planning to bring key partners and sponsors to the table. Hullmark Developments was the first sponsor to commit to sharing the Riverside BIA’s vision to bring the Bridge to light – seeing this as a unique opportunity to invest in the community where they work and play.
Hullmark’s roots are in Toronto and they have always maintained a strong focus on “invest[ing] in the future of Toronto and its citizens”. The company was founded in 1950 by Murphy Hull, who grew up in Toronto as a young polish immigrant. He began in the industry as a plasterer and progressed into home building and then real estate development – pioneering ‘condominium development’ in the 1970s, when it was a ‘new and interesting housing typology’! With Murphy’s grandson Jeff continuing the business, Hullmark has come ‘full circle’ to invest in the Toronto neighbourhoods where his grandparents grew up.
When you peruse Hullmark’s buildings in Riverside, including 100 Broadview, 635 and 672 Queen Street East, you’ll see they aim to be thoughtful, bold and raise the bar through their design. It is due to these standards and values that Hullmark was a perfect match to work with on the Riverside Gateway Bridge Project and why Riverside BIA is so proud to have them as a sponsor!
LET US KNOW you’re coming to the Riverside Bridge Lighting June 5th!
