CBRE Southern Ontario Investment Team presents a compelling redevelopment opportunity in the heart of Brantford with the offering of 81 Queen Street and 27 Nelson Street. This ±0.89-acre site includes a ±6,600 SF funeral home and adjacent vacant land, ideally positioned on the edge of Brantford’s revitalized downtown core. Zoned for mixed commercial and residential use, the property benefits from inclusion in the Downtown Community Improvement Plan, which offers a property tax increment-based grant program to incentivize redevelopment. The site’s strategic location places it within walking distance of Conestoga College and Wilfrid Laurier University’s Brantford campus, enhancing its appeal for student housing or mixed-use residential development. With direct access to Highway 403 and proximity to major routes connecting to Hamilton, Kitchener-Waterloo, Guelph, and the GTA, the property is well-positioned for commuter-friendly living. Brantford’s residential market fundamentals are strong, with a CMHC-reported rental vacancy rate of just 1.3% and a median new-build detached home price exceeding $1 million. The city approved 1,482 housing units in 2022, and its Official Plan supports intensification and diverse housing options. Nearby developments such as Brantford Commons, 1 Wellington, and Station Sixty—totaling nearly 5,000 units—underscore the area’s momentum and provide valuable precedent for future projects. This offering represents a rare chance to acquire a well-located infill site with flexible zoning, strong market fundamentals, and access to urban amenities, green spaces, and educational institutions.
