What Clients Say
A selection of feedback from tenants and buyers Harjaap has represented across the GTA.
What stood out most was his remarkable responsiveness - he consistently replied to our inquiries promptly, even during weekends and outside regular business hours. This level of dedication made a significant difference in our ability to make timely decisions throughout the leasing process.
“Even though he happened to be traveling out of town for a wedding at the time, he still made time to make sure our offer stayed competitive. That kind of commitment is rare in commercial real estate, where it's not uncommon for brokers to be unreachable on Fridays.”
“He was professional, attentive and truly took the time to understand what I was looking for. His knowledge of the market and attention to detail gave me great confidence in my decisions.”
“He's easy to talk to, very responsive, and always tries his best to help and follow things through. It's clear he cares about doing a good job.”
“He's approachable, patient, and always willing to explain things clearly. Whenever something comes up, he responds quickly and helps get it sorted without any hassle.”
Ajax Industrial Market Overview
Ajax’s industrial market is part of the broader GTA opportunity set Harjaap tracks for clients, backed by Colliers International’s full brokerage network across Durham Region. Harjaap serves as a single point of contact for the search - drawing on Colliers’ institutional research, off-market access through Zonado, and direct relationships with the specialists who work this corridor daily.
Ajax Industrial Market: Q2 2026 Snapshot
Ajax carries the highest availability of any Durham Region submarket at 9.5%, giving tenants genuine options and real negotiating leverage. Net absorption dipped slightly this quarter, down 56,072 SF, after a stronger run in prior quarters - a normal pause rather than a structural shift. Rents held at $17.02 PSF, the highest in the East market despite the elevated availability.

Ajax Industrial Market: Rates and Availability
Ajax sits directly on Highway 401, one of four Durham Region markets - alongside Pickering, Whitby, and Oshawa - that form the GTA’s eastern industrial corridor. Availability here runs well above the GTA average, which means tenants have real choices and genuine room to negotiate.
| Submarket | Availability Rate | Asking Net Rent |
|---|---|---|
| Ajax (overall) | 9.5% | $17.02 PSF |

Highway 401 Direct Access
Ajax sits directly on Highway 401, giving distribution and logistics operations a straight run west into Toronto and Peel Region, and east toward Oshawa, Whitby, and eventually the Highway 35/115 split. For operations serving the eastern GTA and beyond, Ajax’s 401 frontage is a genuine operational advantage.
Durham Region: The East Market Context
Durham Region overall recorded 7.1% availability, $15.63 PSF, and 556,167 SF of positive net absorption in Q2 2026 - one of the stronger quarters of any GTA zone. Ajax’s higher rents relative to its Durham neighbours reflect its position closer to Toronto along the 401 corridor.
Working With Harjaap in Ajax
Every Ajax search benefits from the same approach Harjaap brings to every GTA market: a single point of contact backed by Colliers International’s institutional research, legal infrastructure, and network of specialists across the region. For requirements that call for deep, block-by-block knowledge of a specific Ajax corridor, Harjaap works directly with the Colliers specialists who cover that ground daily - so clients get local precision without losing their single point of contact.
For tenants and buyers who want one relationship across multiple GTA markets - Ajax alongside Pickering, Whitby, or Toronto - that consistency is often more valuable than engaging a separate broker for each location. Colliers’ institutional research and legal infrastructure sits behind every file.
Off-Market Access Through Zonado
Zonado.com, one of Canada’s largest commercial real estate marketplaces, extends off-market visibility across the GTA, including Durham Region. It surfaces early-stage availability and ownership-level conversations that never reach a public listing.
Combined with the Colliers network, this means an Ajax search starts with real visibility into what is quietly available, not a blank slate.
