Flex Industrial in Clarington, ON

Clarington Flex Industrial Unit Market

Clarington occupies the easternmost position in the GTA industrial corridor, anchoring the outer edge of Durham Region's industrial market where Highway 401 meets Highway 115 and Highway 35 running north. The municipality encompasses Bowmanville, Newcastle, Courtice, and Orono — each with distinct industrial nodes serving different tenant profiles. Bowmanville Industrial Park is the most established node, housing a mix of light manufacturing, wholesale trade, and logistics tenants in buildings ranging from 10,000 to 60,000 SF. Clarington offers the lowest industrial net rents of any 401-connected GTA submarket, making it the destination of last resort for cost-sensitive tenants who can accept maximum distance from the Toronto core in exchange for minimum occupancy cost. Net asking rents range from $12.50 to $16.50 per square foot net. The submarket's labour pool draws from a growing residential base — Clarington's population exceeded 130,000 in 2024 and is among the fastest-growing municipalities in Durham Region. Highway 115 running north toward Lindsay and the Kawartha Lakes provides access to secondary markets north of the GTA. For tenants with distribution networks serving eastern Ontario rather than the Toronto core, Clarington offers a strategic position at the junction of the 401 east-west corridor and the 115 north-south corridor.
