The Construction Source

JANUARY 2026 Fewer Homes. Better Homes. Looking ahead, Neoteric Developments plans to continue building homes of this calibre – intentionally limiting the number of residential projects it takes on each year. According to Or Bielak, that restraint is essential. “Our commercial and advisory work allows us to stay immersed in best practices and complex problem-solving,” he says. “It also gives us the freedom to focus on a small number of highly customized homes. That’s where we do our best work.” For Or Bielak, the goal isn’t volume – it’s impact. “What excites me most is creating something that hasn’t been done before,” he says. “Homes that people love. Homes that people remember.” In fact, Neoteric is actively encouraging future clients to push boundaries – so much so that Or Bielak says the firm would consider financial incentives for projects that embrace truly unique design challenges. “We’ve all seen enough cookie-cutter homes,” he says. “The homes that stand the test of time are the ones people are passionate about creating. Ottawa is the capital of Canada – we should be building homes that reflect that pride.”
