Distribution Centres in Newmarket: What I Look For

Newmarket anchors the northern York Region industrial corridor at the Highway 404 and Highway 9 intersection, approximately 45 kilometres north of Toronto. For distribution operators serving York Region's northern residential base and the Simcoe County market, Newmarket provides a cost-competitive alternative to the tighter, more expensive markets in southern York Region — net asking rents sit $1.50 to $2.50 per square foot below Vaughan and Richmond Hill while maintaining strong 404 highway access. Harry Walker Parkway is Newmarket's primary modern distribution corridor, housing newer mid-bay and distribution-format buildings with 28-32 foot clear heights suited to last-mile logistics, e-commerce fulfillment, and regional distribution. The 404/400 interchange at Highway 9 gives Newmarket operators simultaneous access to the DVP and Toronto core via 404 South and the Highway 400 corridor toward Barrie and Simcoe County via 400 North — a dual-direction highway profile that no other York Region submarket can match. Net asking rents range from $14.00 to $17.50 per square foot net. Newmarket's growing population of 90,000 and York Region's broader 1.2 million residents provide a strong labour catchment for distribution and warehouse operations. The submarket draws tenants who need a northern York Region address without paying Vaughan rents.
