Tamarack Development Corporation (Tamarack Homes) is a firm that was started in 1987[1][2] and is a subsidiary of Taggart Group of Companies in the Ottawa-Carleton region.[3][non-primary source needed] In 2005, Tamarack joined Tartan Homes to build Jackson Trails in Stittsville, Ontario, Canada, which was Canada’s first community of Energy Star homes.[4] In 2014 the two builders launched their latest joint project at Poole Creek Village in Ottawa's west end. The builder launched its first solo condo project in 2014, in Hintonburg, a neighbourhood of Ottawa.[5][6] In 2012, Tamarack became a title sponsor of Ottawa Race Weekend in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada.
In February 2003 the company was fined $150,000 after pleading guilty to failures under the Ontario Occupational Health and Safety Act, where a surveyor was killed by heavy equipment on a construction site in Ottawa.[7][non-primary source needed][8]
