Our story

A legacy built to last

Every family deserves a well-built home in a strong, connected community.

Our mission

To build exceptional homes and thriving communities where quality, sustainability and customer excellence come together.

In 1948, Harold Taggart began transforming streets in the Glebe and Ottawa's west end into homes for returning war veterans. Over the decades his family built the Taggart Group of Companies — Tamarack Homes, Taggart Construction, Taggart Realty Management, Doran Contractors and Tartan Homes.
