About Us

Founded in 1984 by twin brothers Joe and Tony Braunstein—former professional basketball players in Germany—Braunstein & Braunstein Construction Ltd. began as a “take-any-and-all-jobs we-can-get” general contracting company in Toronto. Born in Wyandotte, Michigan and raised in Scarborough, Joe and Tony grew up hands-on, developing a deep knowledge of how to build things right, from a young age. What they lacked in capital, they made up for in skill, sweat, and determination.

The company quickly evolved to take on larger municipal and commercial construction projects as their experience and bid capacity grew. Today, Braunstein & Braunstein is proud to have completed successful projects for the City of Toronto and surrounding municipalities.

Real estate was always in their DNA. Inspired by their parents’ first property—a six-plex in Toronto’s Upper Beaches—they began acquiring and improving multi-family apartment buildings. That one building has since expanded into a growing portfolio of well-maintained, low-rise communities.

Today, the company thrives at the intersection of construction and real estate, combining deep industry knowledge with a “get it done” mindset. Every project reflects our commitment to quality craftsmanship and lasting value.

We don’t just build — we invest in the future. With our clients, partners, and communities, we’re building a legacy that stands the test of time.
