Manufacturing Facilities in Burlington, ON

Burlington Manufacturing Facility Market

Burlington occupies a strategic position at the western edge of the GTA industrial market, where the QEW and Highway 403 converge before splitting toward Hamilton and Niagara in one direction and Toronto in the other. The submarket functions as a logical spillover market from Mississauga — tenants priced out of the Meadowvale and Mavis/Britannia corridors frequently evaluate Burlington as the next available 403/QEW-connected address at a meaningful rent discount. The primary industrial corridors run along Walker's Line, Appleby Line, and the Harvester Road axis, housing a mix of 1980s and 1990s-era multi-tenant small-bay product and newer mid-bay distribution facilities. Mainway Industrial Park is the submarket's most established node, offering a range of building sizes from 15,000 SF multi-tenant units to standalone facilities exceeding 100,000 SF. Highway 407 access via the 403/407 interchange in the northeast corner of the city provides an additional east-west link connecting Burlington to Mississauga, Brampton, and York Region markets. Net asking rents in Burlington range from $14.50 to $18.00 per square foot net, with newer product at the upper end and 1980s-era multi-tenant inventory at $14.00 to $15.50. Burlington competes primarily on rent versus Mississauga and on location versus Hamilton — tenants who need proximity to the GTA core without Mississauga pricing, and who have QEW-dependent distribution networks, find Burlington a consistent value proposition.
