For more than six decades, the Paletta family has been fortunate to be part of the growth and development of Burlington. What began in 1964 as a small family business founded by Pat Paletta and his brothers has slowly evolved into a legacy that has touched many aspects of the community. Burlington has been more than just a place of business—it’s been home to the Paletta family, and their journey has been intertwined with the city’s own progress.
A Humble Beginning and Visionary Growth
The roots of what has become Alinea
Pat Paletta’s entrepreneurial journey began with a practical decision to acquire land in Burlington to support his growing business. What started as a necessity soon became the foundation for a family enterprise that would help shape the city. Pat’s early recognition of the potential in the land paved the way for future development, and over time, the family’s contributions helped lay the groundwork for Burlington’s growth.
As their business expanded, the Paletta family’s vision shifted from industrial roots to community-centered development, working alongside the city to help bring about the changes that have made Burlington the place it is today.
Alinea: A New Chapter for Burlington
This legacy continues through Alinea Land Corporation, the family’s rebranded real estate development company, established in 2022. Alinea represents a new direction that reflects the values of the Paletta family and their commitment to Burlington’s ongoing growth. The focus of Alinea is not just on building properties, but on creating spaces where people can connect and thrive, keeping the community at the heart of each development.
Through Alinea, the Paletta family remains dedicated to contributing to Burlington’s future, ensuring that new developments are thoughtful, sustainable, and in tune with the needs of the community.
Michael Palette: Vice president Alinia Land.
“Our family’s journey in Burlington has been a story of growth, partnership, and deep community ties. As we continue this legacy, we remain committed to building a future that honours the past while embracing the potential of tomorrow.” – Michael Paletta Vice President Alinea Land Corporation.
A Commitment to Giving Back
At the heart of the Paletta family’s work is a belief in giving back to the community that has supported them. Through the P & A Giving Fund, they have been able to contribute to various causes that support healthcare, education, culture, and children’s initiatives. From enhancing hospitals, schools, and parks to supporting local programs, their philanthropic efforts are their way of expressing gratitude and ensuring that Burlington’s growth benefits all who call it home.
The impact of their giving can be seen in many areas of the city, strengthening the community and supporting its residents.
Honouring the Past, Building the Future
While Alinea marks a new chapter, the Paletta family’s commitment to honouring their roots remains strong. The land that once sustained Pat’s meat business has evolved into the foundation for Burlington’s continued growth. Each project reflects the family’s values of integrity, hard work, and a long-term commitment to the community.
By blending contemporary development with respect for Burlington’s history, the Paletta family continues to support the city’s growth in a way that reflects the same principles that have guided them from the start.
A Legacy of Growth and Gratitude
Over the past 60 years, the Paletta family has been grateful to play a role in Burlington’s development, supporting its growth and contributing to its sense of community through both business and philanthropy. Today, through Alinea, they remain committed to the continued growth of the city, focusing on sustainable, community-driven development.
Paul Paletta: President Alinea Land
“We are deeply grateful to call Burlington home. This city has provided us with opportunities, partnerships, and a thriving community, and it has been our privilege to give back in return. Thank you, Burlington, for being part of our journey—what has been good for us has truly been good for all of us.” – Paul Paletta, Chief Executive Officer & President.
As Burlington continues to grow and evolve, the Paletta family’s contributions will remain a part of the city’s history, reflecting their ongoing commitment to building a community that thrives for generations to come.
