The Appia way: where some see undeveloped land, we envision communities. In this way, our president, Jim Bosa, continues in the Bosa family tradition that was established by his father, the legendary Nat Bosa of Bosa Development Corporation, one of North America's premier developers.

The Appia team, under Jim Bosa's leadership, is distinguishing itself for its vision in creating vibrant, exciting communities, with homes of superior quality, created with superb materials, exquisite finishes and fine craftsmanship. Homes that contribute to their neighbourhoods and provide lasting value to their owners.

"You don't just build a development. You build a reputation. And we want our reputation to speak for itself. We want our greatest advocates to be the families who live in our homes."
-- Jim Bosa

Sustainability is the heart of strong communities and we design and build accordingly:

• Reducing the carbon footprint of our buildings and developments
• Creating centralized, pedestrian-friendly, mixed-use communities to decrease dependencies on vehicles while enhancing transit access
• Reducing energy use to decrease costs while increasing comfort with geo- exchange energy systems and ultra-efficient air conditioning
• Installing green roofs wherever possible and low-maintenance, water-wise landscaping
• Recycling and reducing waste through responsible construction practices

We add value to communities for all to enjoy, including:
