For Ontario commercial landowners
Understand your site’s position, likely buyer audience and sale options before taking it to market.
A first conversation does not commit you to listing.
Considering selling commercial land?
Zoning, permitted use, servicing, access, environmental conditions and planning requirements can affect the buyer pool, timing and price. Gary can review the available information and discuss realistic positioning before you choose a sale approach.
A preliminary brokerage review is not an appraisal or confirmation of development approval.
Selected off-market land sales
Seller representation. Gary reviewed zoning, coordinated planning work, PAC and rezoning submissions, and supporting studies for land near Eglinton Avenue. The work included an application from agricultural to C4 commercial zoning and addressing access constraints with the City. He approached GTA builders directly and completed an off-market sale.
Seller representation. Gary assisted the owner with a PAC and concept drawing to illustrate redevelopment potential. He targeted a suitable builder/developer and completed an off-market sale with a short due-diligence and closing period.
Commercial land facts
Current zoning, permitted uses, access, environmental conditions and planning requirements.
Which builders, developers or commercial users could realistically use the site, subject to permissions.
Your objectives, available studies, disclosure preferences and the work needed before marketing.
Your first conversation
Start with the location, approximate acreage, zoning and servicing and your timing. Gary can identify which documents and further investigations would help.
The next step may be a property visit, review of available information or discussion of a proposed sale and relocation strategy. Agree on disclosure and outreach before approaching potential buyers.

For property owners
Tell Gary the property location, approximate acreage, current zoning, servicing status and your timing. Existing surveys or studies are helpful, but you do not need a complete package to begin.
Before taking a site to market
Review what already exists before commissioning additional studies. The useful next step depends on the site and likely buyer.
Discuss targeted purchaser outreach, controlled disclosure and whether broader market exposure would better serve your objectives. Agree on the information to share before approaching buyers.
The approach depends on the site, timing and available evidence; there is no assumption of a ready buyer for every property.
Begin with a confidential conversation about the property and your objectives.
Common questions
Yes. We can begin with a confidential property review and discuss whether a targeted or public process suits your objectives.
Start with the location, approximate acreage, current zoning, servicing status and desired timing. A survey, planning material or environmental report is helpful if available.
Zoning and permitted uses are important, but access, servicing, site conditions and planning constraints also influence what buyers can pursue.
That depends on the site and likely buyer. We can review what exists and identify which information may help position the property before you commission additional work.
No. The initial conversation is to understand your property and options. Any representation or marketing decision is separate.
Explore more options
Review the West GTA Commercial & Development Land Report or Toronto Commercial & Development Land Report for market context. Your site still requires an individual review of zoning, servicing, constraints and comparable activity.
