Discover new construction homes in Brantford, a city shaped by the bends of the Grand River and the roads that lead everywhere else. Just a short drive from Hamilton and the GTA, Brantford is a place of historic neighbourhoods and winding trails. Life moves a little slower here—and that’s the beauty of it.
Whether you prefer a quieter pace or the pulse of the city, Empire builds homes where you want to be.
In 1874, a young Alexander Graham Bell stood on the banks of the Grand River, testing an invention that would change the world. It was here, in Brantford, that the telephone first found its voice—marking the city as a place where ideas take shape. Today, Brantford’s story continues to unfold in neighbourhoods like West Brant, where heritage homes honour the past, and new communities offer space for the future. Families appreciate the strong local schools, commuters value the easy access to nearby cities, and the downtown core offers a growing mix of cafés, shops, and gathering places. Empire Homes invites you to discover Brantford—where history runs deep and neighbourhoods still feel like home.
Brantford’s legacy of ingenuity continues to shape its future. Once a manufacturing stronghold, the city has evolved into a thriving economic and educational hub, home to major employers like SC Johnson, Ferrero Canada, and Tigercat Industries. Wilfrid Laurier University’s downtown campus has fueled revitalization, attracting students and businesses while contributing to the city’s dynamic energy. A growing digital media sector and strong industrial base provide career opportunities close to home, while Highway 403 and expanding GO Transit services keep Toronto’s job market within easy reach. Whether building a future, launching a career, or embracing a new adventure, Brantford offers the perfect balance of stability and potential.
Brantford’s landscapes tell a story—one of movement, reflection, and the quiet strength of the Grand River. Trails follow the river’s curves, where morning joggers greet the sunrise and weekend cyclists coast beneath towering trees. Waterworks Park offers open space and family-friendly charm, while the woodlands of Mohawk and Lorne Park change with the seasons. The SC Johnson Trail weaves through neighbourhoods and nature alike, turning daily life into something more scenic. Whether it’s an afternoon picnic, a walk through golden autumn leaves, or a moment by the water’s edge, Brantford is a place where the outdoors is part of everyday life.
Brantford’s spirit is one of celebration, where culture and community come together throughout the year. The Brantford International Villages Festival fills the city with the sounds, flavours, and traditions of its diverse heritage, while the Sanderson Centre’s grand stage hosts performances that inspire and entertain. Harmony Square becomes the home of summer movie nights and winter festivities, and Arnold Anderson Stadium echoes with the cheers of hometown Brantford Red Sox baseball fans. From jazz festivals to artisan markets, Brantford doesn’t just remember its past—it adds to it, one gathering, one performance, and one shared moment at a time.
Skate, swim, and cheer in the hometown of “The Great One” at Brantford’s premier destination for fun and recreation.
Discover contemporary art inside a stately Georgian manor, then step outside to explore riverside gardens and peaceful walking trails.
Step back in time to the birthplace of the telephone, where Alexander Graham Bell made history with the first-ever phone call.
From the family-friendly neighbourhoods of West Brant to the tree-lined trails along the Grand River, Brantford offers space to grow and reasons to stay. Catch a weekend game or concert at Lions Park Arena, take the kids to Waterworks Park, or enjoy a quiet stroll through nearby conservation lands.
