5 active developments by Acorn Developments across Richmond Hill, King, Whitby.
Acorn Developments is building new homes across several communities in Ontario, with five active projects currently on the platform. Their current lineup spans Richmond Hill, Whitby and King — all within the Greater Toronto Area and its surrounding region.
The mix leans toward lower-rise, ground-oriented housing. Of the five projects, three are townhome developments and two are single-family home communities, which means buyers here are generally looking at freehold-style living rather than high-rise condominium towers.
Current and recent projects include Lookout on the Knoll; Sincerely, Acorn; Arnold & Major Mackenzie; Limerick Point; and Iris. Because Acorn's active presence is concentrated in a handful of communities, each project tends to reflect the character of the specific town it's built in, from Richmond Hill and Whitby to the more rural setting of King.

Buying pre-construction from Acorn Developments generally starts with registering your interest, which can put you in line for first access when a project releases. From there you'd review available plans and pricing, sign a purchase agreement, and pay a series of staged deposits over the construction period. As the home is built you move toward a closing date, at which point the balance is arranged, usually through a mortgage.
One important note on buyer protection: Ontario's Condominium Act provides a 10-day cooling-off (rescission) period for new or pre-construction condominiums, during which a buyer can cancel the agreement. This protection does not apply to freehold houses. Because Acorn's current projects are townhomes and single-family homes, confirm with the builder whether a given home is sold as a condominium or a freehold, since that determines whether the 10-day rescission period applies.
Pre-construction purchases with a builder like Acorn Developments work on a staged-deposit model, which lets a buyer put down a portion of the price over time while the home is being built, rather than paying the full amount up front. For anyone evaluating a purchase as an investment, the home type matters: Acorn's current projects are townhomes and single-family homes, which appeal to a different rental and resale audience than condo apartments.
Before buying, it's worth looking at local factors in the specific community — new supply and how quickly comparable homes are absorbed, rental demand in Richmond Hill, Whitby or King, commute access, and the size and layout of the home type. These are the practical inputs to assess; no one can promise appreciation or a guaranteed return, so weigh each project on the fundamentals of its location and product.

For first-time buyers, pre-construction can be a way to plan ahead, since deposits are typically spread out in stages between signing and closing rather than paid all at once. In Ontario, first-time buyers may be eligible for well-known provincial and federal support such as the Ontario Land Transfer Tax refund for first-time buyers and federal first-home programs; check current eligibility and amounts directly, as these change over time.
Registering early with a builder like Acorn can matter because active projects in in-demand areas like Richmond Hill, Whitby and King can move to firm sales quickly. Early registration is often how buyers get first access to floor plans, pricing and unit selection before broader release.
Ontario's 10-day cooling-off (rescission) period under the Condominium Act applies to new and pre-construction condominiums, not to freehold houses. Since Acorn's projects are townhomes and single-family homes, confirm with the builder whether a specific home is sold as a condominium or freehold to know if the rescission period applies.
Pre-construction purchases typically use a staged-deposit structure, where you pay a portion of the price in installments over the construction period rather than all at once. The exact schedule is set out in the purchase agreement for each project.
Acorn's current projects are townhomes and single-family homes, which appeal to a different buyer and renter audience than condo apartments. Investors should evaluate local supply, rental demand and the specific home type in Richmond Hill, Whitby or King rather than assume any particular return.
