Exceptional opportunity to acquire a high-quality freestanding industrial building on 1.15 acres in one of Burlington's most sought after transit-oriented growth corridors - steps to Appleby GO Station and minutes to Highway 403. The 9,000 SF fully climate-controlled building is situated on Oval Court, just off Fairview Street and featuring a professionally built-out front office, 20' Clear Height, epoxy-coated flooring, and 3 drive-indoors with electronic openers - offering a clean, functional, move-in ready facility for an owner-user. Beyond its immediate use as a best-in-class industrial facility, 5135 Fairview Street sits within a draft plan approved, mixed-use redevelopment precinct. The broader Oval Court assembly has secured Official Plan and Zoning By-law Amendments permitting a mixed-use development up to 34 storeys, with approximately216,000 SF of developable building area contemplated for this site - offering a rare combination of high-quality industrial functionality today with long term intensification potential in a designated Major Transit Station Area. The site is ideal for owner-users seeking a premium industrial facility with strong exit potential, or investors looking to secure a strategic parcel in an established GO Transit intensification corridor.

Key factors for evaluating this commercial property
Commercial Due Diligence Checklist
· Verify zoning and all permitted uses
· Review all existing leases (terms, renewals, net vs. gross)
· Request estoppel certificates from all tenants
· Order a Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment
· Commission a property condition assessment
· Review operating costs (taxes, insurance, maintenance)
Commercial Financing Note
Commercial mortgages require 20–35% down, shorter amortization, and lenders underwrite based on the property's income. CMHC insurance is not available for commercial. Connect with a commercial mortgage broker early.
Commercial and land transactions are significantly more complex than residential. Joe recommends assembling a team — commercial real estate lawyer, accountant, and (for land) a land use planner — before making an offer.

Honest perspective from 30+ years of GTA real estate experience
Commercial Pricing Context
At $721/sqft, this is priced in the upper range for GTA commercial — typical for prime locations or newer buildings. Commercial values are highly location- and zoning-dependent, so comparable sales analysis is essential. I'll pull recent commercial comps for you.
Just Listed — Take Your Time
This property just hit the market. Commercial due diligence is thorough and takes time — environmental assessments, lease review, financial statement analysis, and zoning confirmation. Unlike residential, there's rarely a multiple-offer frenzy. Act with focus, not urgency.
Zoning & Permitted Use — Verify First
I always confirm the zoning and permitted uses before a client gets too far into a commercial transaction. What a property is currently used for and what it's legally permitted for are sometimes different. If you plan to change the use, a zoning amendment or minor variance may be required — that's additional cost, time, and risk.
Tenancy & Income Review
If this property has existing tenants, I'd want to review all leases carefully: term lengths, renewal options, rent amounts, escalation clauses, and who's responsible for operating costs (gross lease vs. net lease). A strong long-term tenant is an asset; a lease expiring at closing is a different story. We'll request estoppel certificates from all tenants.
Environmental & Due Diligence
A Phase 1 Environmental Site Assessment is standard practice for commercial purchases in Ontario. If historical industrial use is flagged, you'll need a Phase 2. I also recommend a property condition assessment covering structure, roof, HVAC, and electrical — commercial systems are expensive to replace and often not disclosed in detail on the listing.
Commercial Financing Realities
Commercial mortgages work differently than residential. Expect 20–35% down, shorter amortization (15–25 years), and lenders who underwrite based on the property's income, not just your personal financials. CMHC insurance is generally not available for commercial, and rates are typically higher. I can connect you with commercial mortgage brokers who specialize in Burlington transactions.
