Brampton’s construction scene was bustling in 2025, fueled by industrial, commercial, and institutional projects across important growth areas, according to the city’s economic development office annual report for 2025.
“The strength of Brampton’s economy comes from attracting major investment while continuing to champion entrepreneurs and local businesses,” said Regional Councillor Gurpartap Singh, economic development committee chair. “With more than 122,000 businesses and nearly $1 billion in industrial construction value in 2025, our city remains a top choice for companies looking to grow, hire and invest for the long term.”
Industrial construction led the charge in 2025 with $997 million in project value, while commercial and institutional projects reached totals of $227 million and $354 million respectively. The city issued 248 permits for industrial, commercial, and institutional projects last year.
Key industrial developments included:
Panattoni/Mobile Climate Control: Groundbreaking on a $120 million advanced manufacturing and R& D facility that will create over 700 jobs Marcangelo Foods (Concord Premium Meats Ltd.): A new food processing plant worth $70 million that will add 300 jobs Powersmiths: Their fourth advanced manufacturing facility in Brampton with an investment of $8 million Valle Foam: An expansion of their facility by 18,000 sq. ft., costing $6 million which includes a new testing lab Chobani: Ongoing expansion efforts within Brampton’s Innovation District MDA Space: A new headquarters valued at $200 million recognized with the NAIOP REX Award Prologis: Acquired a 90-acre industrial site from Canadian Tire Real Estate for $258 million
The Innovation District also played a role in driving construction demand as startups and expansion projects created new office spaces as well as research and development facilities. Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Medicine opened its doors in September 2025, contributing to the total institutional construction.
Infrastructure improvements and site preparation work were enhanced by development charge reductions along with programs like the Tax Increment Equivalent Grant (TIEG), further propelling construction growth.
“From industrial facilities to institutional expansions and Innovation District growth, our city continues to deliver projects that create jobs and strengthen Brampton’s long-term economic position,” said Mayor Patrick Brown.
Gurpartap Singh Toor, chair of economic development, noted that the city’s robust pipeline for industrial projects combined with supportive incentives makes Brampton an appealing option for businesses wanting to build or expand.
