Real Estate
Ontario Teachers'-owned owner, operator and developer of landmark Canadian office, retail, residential and industrial real estate.
Cadillac Fairview (CF) is the wholly owned real estate subsidiary of the Ontario Teachers' Pension Plan, managing about $26 billion of office, retail, multi-family residential, industrial and mixed-use property across Canada, including the Toronto-Dominion Centre and CF Toronto Eaton Centre. It began as a Toronto construction company more than 60 years ago; Ontario Teachers', its largest shareholder from 1995, moved to take full ownership in late 1999. Its investments, development, operations and corporate teams work from a Toronto head office at 20 Queen Street West. CF is expanding in industrial and residential rental development and has sold at least one regional mall (Lime Ridge, 2025).
