A leader in Residential and
Commercial Development in New Brunswick
Since 2000, we’ve been creating spaces designed to enhance the way people live and work. Our properties are built with a focus on quality, functionality, and a strong sense of community. From residential homes to commercial buildings, we believe in creating environments that feel connected and inviting.
Since 2000, Lafford Properties has been at the forefront of property development in Sackville, New Brunswick. From acquiring to building, we manage a diverse portfolio of properties, offering a variety of rental options to meet every need.
We create comfortable, convenient, and community-focused properties built to high standards of quality and sustainability, operated with responsive, service-driven care.
Every property is designed and built with attention to detail, ensuring high standards in design and functionality.
Our properties seek to maximize the ability to build and experience community. From social clubs, to ensuring that commercial tenants in our building provide services that enhance the lifestyle of all who call that property home.
Our developments integrate eco-friendly practices, ensuring a lasting positive impact.
When my late wife Heidi and I started this journey in 2000 we would have never imagined where it would be in today. My background as a school teacher and art dealer never quite prepared me for what was to come. Hard work, and a great team, has allowed me to achieve the unbelievable including our signature project, Three Sisters in downtown Moncton.
People ask me, “Why Three Sisters?” The answer is very close to the origins of Canada’s culture, and very close to my heart. As a young man I became a collector of Inuit and Indigenous art, and I was struck by how often the image of Three Sisters appeared in a painting or a carving, the figures intertwined in mutual support.
As my appreciation of such works grew, I learned how much we owe to all those who taught our ancestors the agricultural wisdom of Three Sisters – corn, beans, and squash – three vegetables, planted together, supporting each other in growth, and feeding the communities that nurtured them.
Time passed, and my wife Heidi and I were blessed with children – first one daughter, then twin girls, and then a fourth daughter. And as they grew, it struck me that each would always have Three Sisters to count on for love, for companionship, and for mutual support
And so, as the vision of this building project took shape – three stately towers overlooking the Petitcodiac River, designed to shelter hundreds of households on the shores of downtown Moncton – there grew the image of the Three Sisters, symbolic of growth and mutual support and community. I see it as a tribute to the inspiration of the earliest artists and farmers of this land, bearing the names of some of the dearest people in my life: our eldest, Quinn, our twins, Gwenythe and Elle, and our youngest, Caroline.
I'm excited for what is coming, from our two new buildings in Sackville along with our newest Moncton initiative, Gateway Towers.
I am proud of what the team at Lafford Properties, Lafford Formwork, and Lafford Developments has achieved. While we continue to grow our impact in the communities we serve, we have never forgotten our roots as a family business. I’m thankful for my brother Joe and nephew Jeff’s critical roles in driving our growth and how they support the strong personal relationships with those with whom we collaborate to drive our continued success.
