Toronto, ON

Much has changed since Linda Mitchell Young got her start in the construction industry in 1979, a time when women were perceived to be unfit for any role beyond that of secretary. “I never used that as a crutch,” she says. “I always worked without focusing on being a woman. I was an employee who worked very hard.”

As the head of one of Toronto’s most respected real estate marketing and consulting firms, Mitchell Young has been involved in the development of over 70 condominium buildings in the GTA, adding up to a whopping $7 billion in revenue. A multiple BILD Pinnacle Award winner and the brains behind some of Toronto’s most ambitious developments, Mitchell Young has earned her status as the city’s Condo Queen.
