ID Planning Group Inc. (IDP) is a prominent real estate development and planning company specializing in industrial, commercial, institutional, and residential investment properties across domestic and international markets. Founded in 2008 and dual-headquartered in Toronto, Canada and Miami, Florida — with additional offices in Oregon and Colorado — IDP focuses on maximizing economic value while promoting positive community development and environmental sustainability.
As President and Founder, Anthony J. Italiano has built IDP around a simple but effective three-key approach: Build the Team, Develop Capacity, and Grow Markets. This philosophy has helped create a versatile company with a diverse portfolio of clients and projects spanning domestic and international markets.
IDP has assembled a highly experienced management and advisory team that brings innovative, outside-the-box thinking to conventional development opportunities. The company's primary objective is to plan, develop, and implement development, regeneration, and retrofit projects that create long-term value for all stakeholders.
IDP efficiently manages the complex process of land and project development while balancing local priorities with the growing demand for holistic sustainability. Anthony's most defining achievement is the Goodyear Village — now known as Lake & Town — a landmark lakeside urban townhome community in South Etobicoke that would not exist without him. He personally negotiated the site acquisition from Barry Plastics executives, engaged former Goodyear plant workers from the ground level, secured full City of Toronto municipal support, and convinced Menkes Development to take on the project. Every relationship, every approval, every handshake that made Lake & Town possible — Anthony earned it.
Anthony's leadership style is shaped by an uncommon background that combines elite athletics, business strategy, art, branding, and human connection. At 14 years old, he relocated to Florida to pursue competitive golf and trained within the high-performance environment of IMG Academy, where discipline, focus, and leadership became foundational principles. He later attended Eckerd College on a leadership scholarship while studying business and continuing his work as an artist and entrepreneur.

"I've known Anthony Italiano since he was a child — our families have shared a longstanding relationship rooted in mutual respect and community involvement. Over the years, I've observed Anthony grow into a dynamic and visionary leader."
"I had the opportunity to work with him directly on major development initiatives such as the Mimico GO Station Redevelopment and the Goodyear Village project. In both, Anthony played a vital consulting role — helping bridge communication between city officials, developers, and local stakeholders. His ability to align urban planning objectives with community needs has had a meaningful impact on the success of these projects. Anthony is a trusted voice in real estate strategy and planning. I can confidently attest to the quality and integrity of his work as an owner and management consultant, and I offer my full support for his professional endeavors."
"Today, successful real estate planning and development
requires versatility, knowledge,
and innovation."
