Aurora Mills Business Park
Haven Developments with its financial partner, Windsor Private Capital, has broken ground on Aurora Mills Business Park, which will offer more than 392,000 square feet of industrial condos over seven buildings. Located on 25 acres at the northeast corner of St John’s Sideroad and Leslie Street, in the Greater Toronto Area, the units will offer 25-foot clear heights, drive-in shipping and modern construction and design. The first phase is underway, with a 90,000 sf building divided into 25 industrial condo units that are presently 80 percent subscribed. The complex has unit sizes from 3,582 square feet and up, which can be combined. “Industrial condo developers like Haven are satisfying a need for small-bay users and private owners,” said Cushman & Wakefield’s Mike Brown, who is the agent selling the property. “Right now, it’s one of the few avenues to obtaining industrial space under 10,000 sf. Small tenants are being hit with massive rental increases as their leases come up for renewal. Owning your space gives you certainty of costs over the coming years.
