Small Bay Units in Oakville, ON

Oakville Small Bay Unit Market

Oakville sits between Mississauga and Burlington on the QEW corridor, occupying a premium position in the West GTA industrial market. The submarket is characterized by higher-quality building stock than Burlington and lower rents than equivalent Mississauga product, making it a consistent value proposition for tenants who need QEW and 403 access with a professional address. North Oakville has seen the most significant industrial development activity over the past decade, with purpose-built distribution facilities with 32-36 foot clear heights delivered along Burloak Drive and the Highway 403 corridor. These buildings attract institutional logistics operators, automotive supply chain tenants, and e-commerce fulfillment providers who value the 403/QEW intersection and proximity to both Pearson Airport (approximately 30 minutes via 403 North) and the Hamilton port. Net asking rents in Oakville range from $15.50 to $19.00 per square foot net. The submarket commands a premium over Burlington reflecting its more central QEW position and newer building stock, but remains $1.00 to $2.00 per square foot below equivalent Mississauga product. Michael Law advises industrial tenants and investors across the West GTA corridor including Oakville, Burlington, Mississauga, and Milton.
