Aquilini began in the 1960s as a family business founded by Luigi Aquilini, who started by building homes and later broadened the enterprise into a wider holding group. The company now works across development and construction, property management, hospitality, food and beverage, sports and entertainment, technology, renewable energy, and agriculture. Aquilini's portfolio includes residential and commercial development, hotels, restaurants, and business spaces, along with farming and entertainment operations. The company continues as a family-run business with a focus on long-term investment, community partnerships, and a broad mix of operating businesses in Canada and beyond.
