City of Brantford
Brantford’s industrial market continues to grow and benefit from
its strong workforce and proximity to Highway 403, providing
good access to other nearby markets. Brantford industrial
growth tends to be quite cyclical with the market vacillating
between boom and bust phases; much of the growth tends to
be a result of lower cost options compared to alternatives in
the GTA and Region of Waterloo markets. The City’s history
of developing and offering serviced industrial sites has played
an important role in attracting new business to Brantford and
shaping the steady improvement that we’ve seen over the past
15 years.
Trends
>> The industrial vacancy rate in Brantford is among the lowest
in Southwestern Ontario.
>> Industrial building construction has resumed in Brant County;
approximately 435,000 SF of new space (including additions
to existing facilities) is either under construction or has been
recently completed.
>> Positive leasing activity and demand for purchase
opportunities has resulted in limited availability.
>> New speculative developments will push vacancy up over the
next two quarters.
