“Bertone stands for longterm relationships, visionary development, innovative design, quality projects and personalized attention,” according to Michael Bertone, founder. “Over the years, we have earned a solid reputation for ‘building value’ for stakeholders.” ‘Building value’ is a sort-of lodestar for Bertone– it’s a goal that guides every action the company undertakes. In order to live up to that goal, they strive to always take a “winwin approach,” where every stakeholder on every project can achieve their objectives and walk away happy. “Our success has been largely fueled by a dynamic entrepreneurial spirit and a relationship-driven approach,” Michael says. “We strive to be partner-friendly, we’re committed to exceeding expectations, and we’re very adept at identifying and capitalizing on opportunities for our stakeholders. Our projects consistently reflect the needs and values of the surrounding communities.” Michael co-founded Bertone Development Corporation alongside his brother Claudio. Both were born and raised in Montréal, and both had a background in football – Michael was selected by the Montréal Alouettes in the 1986 CFL draft, and Claudio was the Toronto Argonauts’ first pick in the 1994 CFL draft. Following their football careers, they teamed up and entered the real estate business – where they applied the same “teamoriented, win-win, hands-on, and can-do attitude” that they developed on the football field.
