• Cordileone, Elvira. (2005, 23 April). "Project provides big energy savings". Toronto Star.

  On April 30, the first phase of St. Gabriel Village, a multi-tower development on Sheppard Ave. E near Bayview Ave., opens for business with 23 luxury townhouses and a 19-storey tower crafted to advance the builder's admittedly far-away energy objective.

  Baghai says Phases 2 and 3 would be released in June and September, respectively. St. Gabriel Village — all five towers containing almost 600 units — will be completed in 2008.

  Construction on the three-hectare property starts next year. Baghai acquired the land from St. Gabriel's Church, which retained a slice of the original property where a new church is being built.
