Investment Opportunity

Own the Building,
Not Just the Business

Commercial strata ownership at the intersection of Durham's fastest-growing corridors.

The Case for Ownership

Commercial Strata:
Built for Builders

Leasing keeps you a tenant forever. Ownership at Bayly Market Square lets you build equity in the asset while operating your business — or hold as an investment and lease to a tenant at market rates from day one.

Build Equity, Not Just Revenue

Your Business Pays Down Your Mortgage

When you own your commercial unit, every dollar of revenue you generate also services an asset you'll eventually own outright. Commercial real estate has historically appreciated in the Durham Region alongside residential — but with stronger income yields and lower competition from retail buyers.

  • No rent escalation clauses from a landlord
  • Freedom to renovate and customize without restrictions
  • Asset on your balance sheet — improves business creditworthiness
  • Exit options: sell, lease out, or refinance for growth capital

Investor Strategy

Hold, Lease, and Compound

For purchasers not operating a business on-site, commercial strata units function as income-producing real property. With Ajax's office and retail vacancy rates significantly below the Greater Toronto average, units here attract tenants quickly — and command market rents in a supply-constrained environment.

  • Net lease structures shift operating costs to tenants
  • Commercial leases typically 5–10 years with renewal options
  • Strata title means freehold ownership without condo fees on retail bays
  • Financing available through conventional commercial lenders

Why Ajax & Durham

The Market Behind
the Project

Durham Region is one of Ontario's fastest-growing municipalities by population — and commercial supply has not kept pace. Bayly Market Square is positioned to absorb demand from an underserved catchment area of 200,000+ residents.

📍

Highway Access

Adjacent to the Westney Road interchange on Highway 401 — Ajax's primary east-west freight and commuter corridor. Connects directly to the 412, 407, and Toronto's inner ring.

🏗️

Underserved Market

Ajax has seen consistent residential growth for over a decade, but commercial supply has lagged. Bayly Market Square addresses a structural gap in leasable area per capita versus comparable GTA suburbs.

📈

Long-Term Land Value

Ajax's Official Plan identifies the Bayly Corridor as a priority intensification zone. Strata ownership gives buyers long-term optionality as land values continue to re-rate upward.
