1352 Tonolli Road, Mississauga
Challenge
With their lease renewal quickly approaching, our client was facing a 200% increase in rental rates. To remain competitive in their industry, they needed a more efficient space that better supported their operations. Our review revealed that they were utilizing only 20% of their current office area, creating significant inefficiencies and limiting their ability to compete effectively.
Action
We presented the client with alternative properties that aligned with their operational needs and budget, ensuring we secured an option before the lease expiry. At the same time, we were tasked with subleasing their existing space. Finding a location below market rates was critical in order to maintain the client’s competitiveness while minimizing cost exposure.
Result
We successfully secured a new lease that eliminated inefficiencies and provided a more suitable, cost-effective space for the client. Simultaneously, we subleased their former property at a profit, ensuring no downtime or financial loss. The client is now positioned in a more productive and competitive facility that supports long-term profitability.

30 Delta Park Blvd, Brampton
Challenge
The existing tenant at 30 Delta Park was midway through a 5-year lease but struggling to sustain the $10 net rent. In addition, the property’s high office component—10% of the 31,000 sq. ft. space—made it less attractive to the industrial market and difficult to re-lease under its current configuration.
Action
After a comprehensive review of the landlord’s portfolio, we recommended terminating the existing tenancy and repositioning the asset to maximize long-term value. We executed a targeted marketing strategy supported by high-quality visuals and multi-platform promotion. At the property level, we enhanced its appeal by installing LED lighting, white-boxing the warehouse, upgrading loading doors, and renovating the office space—creating a modern, functional environment aligned with the needs of today’s industrial tenants.
Result
This repositioning strategy successfully secured a new tenant at $15.75 per sq. ft.—a 57.5% increase over the prior rent. The uplift not only stabilized the asset’s income stream but also significantly improved its long-term value for the landlord.

Landlord Representation | Leasing & Repositioning
190 Wilkinson Road, Brampton
Challenge
Our client needed to sell their property at 190 Wilkinson during a market downturn, when valuations were under pressure and buyer demand was low. To complicate matters, the most logical buyer was the neighbouring property owner, who would have had significant bargaining power if approached directly, risking a sale below market value and potentially reducing the client’s return.
Action
To address this imbalance, we implemented a strategic unpriced listing, creating a sense of opportunity and curiosity that generated multiple competitive bids from the broader market. With a pool of serious buyers engaged, we leveraged the competitive environment to strengthen our negotiation position, even with the initial target buyer. This calculated approach rebalanced the power dynamic and enhanced the asset’s value.
Result
We successfully secured a deal with the target buyer at 10% above market value, transforming a potential disadvantage into a strategic win. Our proactive listing and multi-bid strategy directly drove a price uplift and delivered a confident, premium sale for the client, exceeding expectations by 10%.

Owner Representation | Disposition
81 Royal Group Crescent, Vaughan
Challenge
The client sought to purchase a facility of at least 100,000 sq. ft. in a highly competitive industrial market where suitable listings were scarce. The property also needed to meet strict manufacturing standards—such as clear heights, door specifications, and other infrastructure requirements—which further limited the pool of viable options.
Action
Recognizing this market gap, we leveraged our off-market network to uncover a unique opportunity: a building recently vacated after its major tenant went bankrupt. Although the property was initially positioned for lease, we strategically approached the landlord and negotiated a purchase instead. This approach transformed a leasing challenge into a buying advantage, turning a distressed landlord situation into a mutually beneficial outcome.
Result
We successfully secured the acquisition for our client, converting a non-listed property into a tailored purchase that exceeded their specifications. The facility offered enhanced manufacturing capabilities, including superior door configurations and clear heights, while a smaller tenant remained in place, generating immediate rental income. This combination of strategic acquisition and instant cash flow delivered significant value creation with both operational and financial upside.
