Brookfield homes
Brookfield Homes’ Bay Area company dates to 1996, per its SEC filings. It listed on the New York Stock Exchange in 2003, merged into Brookfield Residential in 2011 and became part of Brookfield Asset Management in 2015. In our area it built on Brisbane’s Northeast Ridge and at Glen Loma Ranch in Gilroy, and it’s building townhomes in Morgan Hill now. Here’s what the records confirm and what the homes resell for.

Brookfield communities in our area
From SEC filings, county habitat-plan reports, local press and the company’s own pages; listing-only credits are marked.
| community | city | years | homes | notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Northeast Ridge | Brisbane | 1997–2011 | — | On San Bruno Mountain under a habitat conservation plan. Brookfield had poured the first foundations of a planned 500-home development by 1997, and its last parcel went to Toll Brothers in 2011, per local press and a county report. A listing credits Brookfield with a 2004 home on Golden Aster Ct. |
| Glen Loma Ranch | Gilroy | from 2016 | — | Brookfield Residential was one of two builders in the first phase, which opened four neighborhoods with 274 homes of about 2,113 to 3,740 sq ft in 2016, per the Gilroy Dispatch. Listings credit it with the Mataro neighborhood. |
| Moonstone at Rosewood | Morgan Hill | from 2024 | — | Three-story townhomes of 1,844 to 2,085 sq ft on More Lane, with solar through a lease program, per the company. |
| Westbury | San Jose | 2012–2013 (listings) | — | Blossom Valley homes on Southcrest Way, Cahalan Ave and Carew Way; listings credit Brookfield, but we found no record naming the builder. |
Outside our area, Brookfield built in the East Bay (a share of Windemere), Rohnert Park, Napa and Roseville. Brookfield Village in Oakland is a neighborhood, not this builder.

What the homes are like
From local press, county reports and the company’s descriptions.
- sites
Hillsides and master plans
The Northeast Ridge homes sit on San Bruno Mountain under a habitat conservation plan; Glen Loma Ranch is a master-planned community of 17 neighborhoods, per the Gilroy Dispatch.
- product
Detached homes, then townhomes
Gilroy’s first-phase homes run about 2,113 to 3,740 sq ft; Moonstone at Rosewood is three-story townhomes, per the company.
- energy
Energy features
The company lists a heat-pump water heater, EV-charger conduit and leased solar at Moonstone; a Westbury listing says GreenPoint Rated.
- company
One name, several companies
Brookfield Homes merged into Brookfield Residential in 2011, so older listings say Brookfield Homes and newer ones Brookfield Residential.
- myth check
Landmark is likely Toll
Brookfield sold the last Northeast Ridge parcel, later called Landmark, to Toll Brothers in 2011, so those homes are likely Toll-built.

New-home sales the builder handled directly may not appear in the MLS, and many resales don’t name the builder. Sales come from the MLS records available to us and include every sold listing whose description names the builder, so a few homes may be labeled by the listing agent rather than confirmed from tract records. Sold data is shown with the listing brokerage. Price per square foot uses the living area in the listing. Ask us for a full comparable-sales report on any address.
