Brightwater is a 72-acre landmark waterfront community along Lake Ontario in Port Credit, Mississauga. Historically, these lands were home to a large-scale oil refining operations and a former brick quarry. In 2016, Kilmer Brownfield and Kilmer Infrastructure led the acquisition of these challenged lands with its development partners, DiamondCorp, Dream, and Fram/Slokker, which collectively form the Port Credit West Village Partners. A significant site rehabilitation program was completed over the course of two years to support its transformation into a vibrant urban mixed-use village. Working closely with community stakeholders and the City of Mississauga, a master plan and re-zoning application was approved in 2019 that included approximately 2,500 mid-rise and high-rise condominium apartments, 450 townhomes, 18 acres of parks, 150 affordable housing units, as well as 400,000 sq ft of commercial, retail and office space. Construction started in 2021 and first occupancies are anticipated in 2023.

In partnership with DREAM, Kilmer secured through a Public-Private-Partnership with Infrastructure Ontario the right to construct the Athletes Village for the 2015 Pan Am / Parapan Games, and its legacy community the Canary District. Upon completion of the games, the Canary District will be a visionary community, with thousands of new condominiums and affordable rental units, 40,000 square feet of retail, dining, sports, health and wellness, art and culture. This award winning community will advance the Waterfront Toronto precinct plan and add to Toronto’s vibrant downtown east.

Daniel’ FirstHome™ is a vibrant 12-acre master-planned community in Toronto that is being constructed by Daniels in partnership with Kilmer Brownfield and DiamondCorp. The development site was the location of the former Humber River Regional Hospital and its subsequent demolition allowed for over 90% of the building materials to be recycled into the new residential development. This includes 624 residential units in a mix of mid-rise condominiums ranging in height from four to six storeys, as well as nine three-storey townhome blocks (stacks and through towns). Daniels’ FirstHome™ program is designed to be affordable for first time home buyers in the GTA. This development will also include a handful of units completed for Habitat for Humanity families. A major attribute of this community scale development is a significant green space and parkland contribution, featuring a new nature themed public park that will connect to the existing Woodborough Park, walking trails and a new playground. Residents of Keelesdale will be walking distance to public transit, including the upcoming Eglinton Crosstown LRT. Construction of the first phase started in 2018 and first occupancies commenced in 2022.

Kilmer Brownfield, in partnership with DiamondCorp acquired this site in 2020 which is 1.2-acres in the Broadview-Danforth neighbourhood, just north of the Broadview Station transit hub. This land parcel includes the former Toronto Estonian House and Chester school, which is a designated heritage building. The partnership has submitted a planning application to intensify the site into a uniquely designed midrise building that will incorporate and restore the Chester school at its base for retail and amenity use. A total of 223 residential units as well as onsite parkland have been incorporated to fit into the surrounding established neighborhood, which includes low-rise and high-rise built form along the Don Valley ravine system.

Kilmer Brownfield, in partnership with DiamondCorp (together, Diamond Kilmer) acquired this 19-acre site in the Upper Beach neighborhood at the intersection of Victoria Park Avenue and Gerrard in 2018. The site is currently vacant and historically was the location of a former pit/quarry that was filled with various materials once operations ceased. Diamond Kilmer undertook amendments to the Official Plan and Zoning Bylaw to support a vibrant, master planned community with a mix of residential uses, ancillary commercial space, generous public parkland and a well-connected public realm, which were approved by City Council in 2021. This vibrant community will include two new public streets, nearly 6 acres of parkland and 1,052 residential units in a mix of midrise and townhouse units, of which 120 residential units will be affordable (58 townhomes to be delivered by Habitat for Humanity and 62 rental units to be delivered by the City of Toronto). To realize this vision, significant site grading, servicing and restoration is required, where the first phase of site preparation commenced in 2021.

Kilmer Brownfield has repositioned and re-energized the site of this commercial building (5 acres) with a multi-tenanted flex –office design located minutes from Toronto Pearson International Airport. Prior to the Kilmer acquisition in 2012, the 70,000 sq ft single-storey building sat vacant after being utilized by various manufacturing companies since its construction in the 1960’s and continued use until the mid – 2000’s. Kilmer implemented a significant restoration program for the site over a two-year period and today three well established tenants occupy 100% of the space on long-term leases.

Kilmer, operating as KVN Construction was a leader on the Canadian heavy civil construction scene through to the end of the 1970’s. In 1980, with the purchase of the Warren Paving and Materials Group (“Warren”), the firm shifted to construction that had more of a perennial bias in the maintenance of our nation’s roads. Over the next 20 years, Warren grew through a series of acquisitions and vertical integration to over 2,000 employees and 1 billion tonnes of aggregate reserves. In 2000, Kilmer merged the Warren business into Lafarge, a global leader in construction materials, in a cash and stock transaction, which made Kilmer the second largest shareholder in Lafarge North America (“LNA”). In 2006, LNA was purchased in its entirety by Lafarge SA of France, taking Kilmer out of its active investments in the construction materials space.
