Brampton’s construction industry had a busy year in 2025, fueled by industrial, commercial, and institutional projects in 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.”
Leading the charge was industrial construction with a total project value of $997 million in 2025. Commercial projects contributed $227 million while institutional projects added another $354 million. The city issued a total of 248 permits for industrial, commercial, and institutional work last year.
Key industrial developments included:
Panattoni/Mobile Climate Control: Groundbreaking on a $120 million advanced manufacturing and R& D facility, creating more than 700 jobs Marcangelo Foods (Concord Premium Meats Ltd.): $70 million food processing plant, adding 300 new jobs Powersmiths: Fourth advanced manufacturing facility in Brampton with an investment of $8 million Valle Foam: Expansion of an 18,000 sq. ft., $6 million facility that includes a new testing lab Chobani: Ongoing expansion within Brampton’s Innovation District MDA Space: A new headquarters worth $200 million recognized with the NAIOP REX Award Prologis: A $258 million purchase of a 90-acre industrial site from Canadian Tire Real Estate
The Innovation District also played a part in driving construction demand as startups and expansion initiatives created new office spaces along with research and development facilities. The opening of Toronto Metropolitan University’s School of Medicine in September 2025 added to the institutional construction totals.
Infrastructure improvements and site preparation efforts were boosted by reduced development charges as well as programs like the Tax Increment Equivalent Grant (TIEG), contributing to overall 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, stated that the city’s strong pipeline for industrial projects along with supportive incentives make Brampton an attractive option for companies looking to expand their operations.
