46 BUSINESS VIEW MAGAZINE VOLUME 9, ISSUE 10 Looking ahead it is clear that Arbutus Properties’ star is on the rise. Already poised to take on more of the desirable Saskatoon market and with the construction of sustainability planned communities on the horizon, both Totland and Minakakis are excited to see what the future holds. “I am hoping we are perceived right now as the premier quality land developer and home builder in the Saskatoon marketplace,” Totland says. “I think that we will continue to solidify that position. We have some fairly major interest in the United States in the Seattle and Phoenix markets. I think we are just going to continue to pursue that goal of producing high quality, sustainable developments and building communities that people want to live in.” Echoing his colleague’s sentiments, Minakakis offers his projections. “We have done a really good job and we just need to continue what we’ve been doing in offering premium products at various price points and demographics. I want people to look at our neighborhoods 20 years from now and say that is a fantastic neighborhood to raise a family and live in… this is what drives me every day. I think we are definitely achieving this goal.” PREFERRED VENDOR/PARTNER n Epic Contracting & Epic Exteriors www.epicsask.com Epic Contracting and Epic Exteriors are locally-owned, family-run businesses that have been operating in Saskatoon and the surrounding area since 2004.
