Richlands is a master-planned freehold community located at Leslie Street & Elgin Mills in Richmond Hill, developed through a collaboration among DECO Homes, OPUS, Arista, and Fieldgate. It consists of approximately 225 residences, a mix of detached homes, semi-detached homes, and townhomes—all primarily two-storey built form. The neighbourhood is arranged via quiet crescents and cul-de-sacs, with green space, a community park, and a school embedded at its heart. Richlands is designed for family living, with emphasis on easy access to transit (VIVA, York Region Transit, GO), nearby highways (404 & 407), as well as local amenities. Its streetscapes balance architectural variety and consistency, combining traditional and modern freehold styles, private yards, and walkable routes. As of 2023, the community is considered complete and sold-out.
DECO Homes is a Vaughan-based residential builder established in 2010, specializing in low-rise housing forms such as detached homes, semis, and townhomes. The company has delivered hundreds of units across suburban master-planned communities in York, Peel, and Halton regions. Its projects are designed with functional layouts to meet the needs of family buyers, and its operations reflect the scale of a mid-sized builder contributing to suburban growth in the GTA.
