Burlington Industrial Market — 2026

Burlington's industrial market is performing well above provincial averages heading into 2026. Vacancy across Burlington and Halton sits in the 4–5% range — tight by historical standards despite new supply coming online. Class A net asking rents range from $17–$21/sf NNN, with landlords continuing to hold firm on pricing even as tenants gain modest negotiating leverage on free rent and tenant improvement allowances. Burlington benefits from exceptional highway access — QEW, Highway 403, and Highway 6 — connecting tenants to Mississauga, Hamilton, and the broader GTA. The RAMP Business Park at Paletta Court represents new Class A supply expected for 2027. For owner-users and investors, freehold industrial in Burlington continues to trade at resilient pricing with strong long-term fundamentals.

Burlington Industrial Real Estate — Frequently Asked Questions

What is the average industrial lease rate in Burlington in 2026?

Burlington industrial net asking rents in 2026 range from approximately $17 to $21 per square foot NNN for Class A space, depending on clear height, loading configuration, and location within Halton Region. Older mid-vintage product typically trades lower. Tenants in Burlington have modestly more leverage than in peak 2022 conditions, with free rent and tenant improvement allowances available on select deals.

What are the best industrial areas in Burlington?

Burlington's primary industrial nodes include the QEW/Appleby Line corridor, the North Service Road employment lands, the Harvester Road area, and newer development at Paletta Court near Highway 403. Properties with QEW visibility and proximity to the 403/QEW interchange command the strongest rents and lowest vacancy.

How does Burlington compare to Mississauga for industrial space?

Burlington typically offers slightly lower lease rates than Mississauga while providing comparable highway access via the QEW and 403 corridors. Vacancy in Burlington runs modestly higher than Mississauga's tight sub-4% rate, giving tenants more options. For logistics and distribution operations serving Hamilton and the western GTA, Burlington often provides better positioning than Mississauga.

What highway access does Burlington industrial offer?

Burlington industrial properties benefit from direct access to the QEW (connecting east to Mississauga/Toronto and west to Hamilton), Highway 403, and Highway 6 north to the 401. This makes Burlington a strong location for tenants distributing across the Golden Horseshoe, southwestern Ontario, and cross-border into the US via the Peace Bridge.

Should I lease or buy industrial space in Burlington?

In Burlington's current market, owner-users with the capital to purchase are in a strong position — freehold industrial has held value well and provides long-term occupancy security. Leasing remains the better option for businesses with uncertain space requirements, shorter time horizons, or capital better deployed in core operations. A Burlington industrial broker can model both scenarios with current market comparables.
