Mattwood Homes Story

Mattwood Construction is entering the 50th year as a new homebuilder and land developer in the Hamilton and Burlington area. Founder Joseph S. Mattiacci built his first one floor home on Garth Street in Hamilton in 1956. Next, he went on to build in the Buchanan Park Survey and various other locations on the Hamilton Mountain.

The Dynes Road Survey in Burlington was soon on the list of Mattwoods accomplishments. As Burlington continued to grow into the sixties and seventies, Mattwood also continued to build in many of Burlington’s premier neighbourhoods. They included Strathcona Gardens, Glenwood School Drive are, Pineland, Geneva Park, White Pines, Parkway Woods in Mountain Gardens, Ireland Estates, Roseland and Amherst Heights.

In the late seventies Lou joined his father and continued the Mattwood tradition of building quality homes in Albion Estates, Dewitt Park and Dewitt Heights in Stoney Creek. In the mid eighties Mattwood was back in Burlington providing over three hundred families with homes in the Brant Hills Survey as well as the Palmer Community. It is here that Joe Jr. joined the company.

From the late eighties to the early nineties Mattwood provided many homes for the move up market in Walkers Heights, Tyandaga Woods, Headon Estates and the exclusive downtown enclave at the old Wellington Square School site, The Meadows of Yorkshire. Next came the golf course communities of Fairway Glen and the executive homes of Dalecroft in Millcroft.

Entering into the new millennium Mattwood provided homes for the starter and empty nesters with The Orchard Green Freehold Towns on Dryden Avenue. Not far away on Orchard Road, Mattwood developed the Orchard Green Subdivision and built 41 single-family residences catering to the young family.
