About Us
A leading Canadian Real Estate Developer
Based in Welland, Ontario, King & Benton is a leading Canadian privately owned real estate development company.
Since 1996, the King & Benton Group of Companies, an association of companies working together, has acquired more than 1,500,000 square feet of industrial and commercial space and significant holdings of residential land. Most of these properties are in Ontario’s prime economic locations near 400 series highways, rail corridors and marine corridors, offering strategic investment in economic opportunity.
No matter the project, King & Benton is dedicated to creating strategic, sustainable and impactful developments. The company integrates a community oriented approach throughout all of its work, and established the King & Benton Community Foundation in 2008. This foundation provides financial assistance and other support to numerous non-profit community organizations.
Working alongside local charities, government officials and community leaders, King & Benton creates projects that transform entire economic regions.
We Are A Brownfield Property redeveloper
Besides traditional land development projects, King & Benton has an impressive track record of revitalizing environmentally contaminated properties. As a redevelopment champion, King & Benton focuses on converting former brownfield sites into areas with environmentally friendly opportunities. With more than 1,000 acres of brownfield redevelopment experience, we confidently transform previously contaminated sites into hubs of economic revitalization.
Unlike other real estate developers, we view the challenge of reusing abandoned, toxic industrial sites as an opportunity – one that can bring immense social transformation to the areas surrounding our redevelopments, leveraging existing infrastructure and re-establishing revenue sources.
As a dominant private redeveloper of brownfield sites, King & Benton works alongside various levels of government and community groups to ensure the maximum positive impact for the neighbourhood and surrounding communities. Rather than view brownfield redevelopment as an obstacle, King & Benton sees it as a possibility to engage with community stakeholders to create collaborative reuse visions.
