Biggest Indian Landlord in Canada
Thursday, December 7, 2006

It is always a matter of pride for Indians abroad when any fellow Indian hits new milestone in a foreign land thereby carving a competent niche. Such has been the success accomplished by Bob Dhillon, who has made all his friends hold their head high by grabbing the title of the youngest and the biggest Indian landlord in Canada.

This youngest Indian – Canadian millionaire lords over more than 5,000 residential properties across Canada – from Vancouver to Calgary to Edmonton to Toronto to Missisauga. And, his Mainstreet Equity Corporation is the only Sikh owned company listed on the Toronto Stock Exchange.

Bob Dhillion is born and bred in Japan and his family comes from Tallewala Village near Barnala. "My grandfather left the village long ago for Hong Kong where he started a North China Shipping Company to carry goods to and from Japan”, says Bob remembering the achievements made by his forefathers.

He calls his group the Holiday Inn of apartment buildings in Canada and claims to be a leader pioneering the mid market properties i.e. any property with less than 100 apartments. “We are the pick of all top-ranked market research groups, and our stock has risen by 100 per cent during the last 120 days,” says Bob with a big smile.
