For landowners considering their options
A Toronto assembly site, main-street redevelopment property and employment parcel are different products. Frontage, parcel control, existing tenancy, zoning, access and approval status can change the buyer audience, timing and price.
Gary Paul can review the information you already have, identify positioning gaps and discuss whether targeted off-market outreach or broader exposure could suit your objectives.
A preliminary brokerage review is not an appraisal or confirmation of development approval.
Your confidential review
Designation, zoning, permitted uses, frontage, servicing, access and known environmental or physical constraints.
Available transaction evidence from a comparable Toronto land category, with attention to density, approvals, site size and timing.
Which developers, commercial users, adjacent owners or longer-term investors could fit the site and its planning status.
Missing information or assumptions that could weaken buyer confidence, create conditions or delay a sale.
Your objectives, assembly or tenancy considerations, the work worth doing before marketing and what to share before contacting buyers.
Discuss the next useful step. A review does not commit you to listing or imply that a buyer is already secured.
Inside the Fall 2026 report
A dated research snapshot covering Toronto infill, assembly and employment-land evidence. Use it to frame questions about your property.
The report identifies 51 Toronto land sales between January 2024 and October 6, 2026, and presents a selected cross-section.
Listings reviewed as of October 6, 2026 provide asking-price context. An asking price is not evidence of achieved value.
High-density infill and assemblies, main-street mixed-use land, employment land and low-rise residential infill require different comparisons.
The report uses selected sales, not a complete market census. Per-acre figures are approximate and do not adjust for every site constraint. They are context, not a valuation of your property.
Selected seller assignments
Gary represented the seller, coordinated planning work, PAC and rezoning submissions and supporting studies, and addressed access constraints with the City. He approached GTA builders directly and completed an off-market sale.
Gary assisted the owner with a PAC and concept drawing to illustrate redevelopment potential, targeted a suitable builder/developer and completed an off-market sale with a short due-diligence and closing period.
These are examples of Gary’s work, not comparable sales for every site or a promise of a similar outcome.
Speak directly with your broker
Bring the location, approximate acreage and your timing. Surveys, planning correspondence or studies are helpful if available; a complete package is not required to begin.
Agree on disclosure and outreach before approaching potential buyers. The next step may be a property visit, a document review or a discussion of sale preparation.

Scope, sources and limitations
Evidence reviewed through October 6, 2026. The Fall 2026 report identifies 51 Toronto commercial-land sales from January 2024 through the review date and presents a selected cross-section of infill, assembly and employment transactions. Its review of 73 active listings is a dated snapshot, not current available inventory.
Method. Approximate per-acre figures use marketed acreage and recorded sale prices. They are rounded and do not adjust for net developable area, vendor financing, contamination, density or off-title obligations. Asking prices describe competition, not achieved sale value.
Sources and their limits. The report’s public references include the Toronto Official Plan resources and Toronto zoning resources. These support planning research, not verification of the transaction prices. Check current site-specific permissions and obtain appropriate professional advice. See page 11 of the published report for methodology and references.
Common questions
Yes. Begin with a confidential conversation about your objectives. Agree on what information may be shared and whether targeted outreach or broader exposure suits the property before marketing begins.
No. The report provides selected transaction evidence and a review framework. Property-specific pricing needs relevant comparisons and an understanding of planning, servicing, access, site conditions and timing. The initial review is not an appraisal.
Not automatically. Start by reviewing what exists, the likely buyer audience and the cost and timing of further work. Gary can help identify questions to take to the appropriate planning, engineering or environmental professionals.
You can still begin. Enter “unknown” in the form and provide the location and approximate acreage. Available municipal correspondence, surveys and previous studies can help determine what needs confirmation.
No. The first conversation is to understand the property, your objectives and possible next steps. Any representation agreement or decision to market the land is separate.
