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.”
Milton Industrial Market Overview
Milton has become one of Ontario’s most active industrial leasing markets over the past decade - anchored by direct Highway 401 access at Tremaine Road and Louis St-Laurent Avenue, and driven by sustained demand from logistics, 3PL, and e-commerce distribution operations that need modern, high-clear-height facilities at rates below Mississauga. In Q2 2026, with no new supply delivered and nothing currently under construction, the market absorbed 1.69 million square feet from existing inventory alone - including a 1.09 million square foot head lease to ID Logistics and a 319,702 SF lease to 3M Canada - clear evidence of how deep demand for Milton’s Class A logistics stock has become.
Milton Industrial Market: Q2 2026 Snapshot
Milton posted one of the strongest quarters of any GTA market in Q2 2026, absorbing 1,694,464 SF with zero new supply delivered and nothing currently under construction. That absorption was driven by two major head leases - 1,092,629 SF to ID Logistics at 10725 Louis St. Laurent Avenue and 319,702 SF to 3M Canada at 2751 Peddie Road - confirming Milton’s position as the western GTA’s primary landing spot for large-format 3PL and manufacturing users. Availability now sits at 8.6%, still the highest among the major GTA West submarkets, but tightening fast.

Milton Industrial Market: Rates and Availability
Milton’s industrial base splits geographically between two zones, even though Colliers reports the market as a single submarket. The Tremaine Road and Louis St-Laurent corridor - the primary development zone directly off Highway 401 - contains the newest and highest-specification buildings in the market: 36-to-40-foot clear heights, high dock counts, large truck courts, and substantial power. The Derry Road and older industrial zone offers mid-vintage product at lower rents, better suited for manufacturing, food processing, and operations that do not need top-of-market building specifications.
| Corridor | Availability Rate | Asking Net Rent |
|---|---|---|
| Milton (overall) | 8.6% | $16.10 PSF |

New Class A Supply: The Best Logistics Buildings in the Western GTA
The Tremaine and Louis St-Laurent corridor has delivered some of the highest-specification logistics buildings constructed in Ontario over the past five years. Forty-foot clear heights, cross-dock configurations with 60-foot speed bays, 180-foot truck courts, full ESFR sprinkler coverage, and power supply scaled for automation - these buildings meet the specification requirements of national 3PL and e-commerce fulfillment operations that previously had no western GTA option outside of Brampton. For tenants with modern building requirements, Milton’s new supply represents a product tier that did not exist in this corridor a decade ago.
Highway 401: The National Logistics Case
Highway 401 is Canada’s busiest highway and the primary east-west freight corridor connecting Toronto to Hamilton, London, Windsor, and the U.S. border crossings at Windsor and Fort Erie. Milton sits directly on the 401 at Tremaine Road and Louis St-Laurent - two of the most recently improved interchanges on the highway - providing trucks with immediate ramp access in both directions without navigating surface streets. For national distribution operations where eastbound and westbound freight volumes are both significant, this position is operationally optimal.
Tenant Leverage: A Closing Window
Milton’s 8.6% availability is a legacy of the development delivered over the past several years, not a current oversupply problem - Q2 2026 saw zero new supply added and 1.69 million SF absorbed. That combination is compressing tenant leverage quickly: landlords with the last of the unleased Class A product are still motivated to offer free rent and tenant improvement allowances, but the two large head leases signed this quarter show how fast that inventory is being taken off the market. Tenants evaluating Milton should expect the current window of leverage to close faster than in prior quarters.
3PL, Terminal, and Logistics Requirements
Milton’s Highway 401 positioning and available land have made it one of the most active markets in Ontario for terminal and 3PL site selection. Trucking companies, freight forwarders, and third-party logistics operators consistently evaluate the Tremaine and Louis St-Laurent corridor for its direct 401 interchange access and the availability of large-format sites that accommodate trailer parking, cross-dock operations, and fleet staging. Harjaap Singh Makkar covers this user type across the western GTA and has direct experience structuring landlord and tenant mandates for terminal-specific requirements in the Milton corridor.
Buying Industrial Property in Milton
Milton’s average industrial sale price - blending freehold and condo/strata transactions - sits at $287 PSF as of Q2 2026, reflecting the market’s newer building stock and Highway 401 positioning. With zero new supply currently under construction after 1.69 million SF was absorbed this quarter, owner-occupiers who move now are buying ahead of the next development cycle rather than into an oversupplied market.
Harjaap Singh Makkar has active coverage across the Milton corridor through both the Colliers International platform and the Zonado marketplace - with visibility into which developers are active, which buildings trade quietly, and what buyers have paid in recent cycles. That on-the-ground knowledge informs every acquisition analysis conducted for buyers in this market.
Tenant Representation in Milton
Milton’s 8.6% availability still gives tenants a negotiating position that does not exist in Mississauga or Toronto, but that leverage is closing fast after 1.69 million SF of absorption in Q2 2026 alone. Free rent, tenant improvement allowances, and below-asking lease rates remain achievable for tenants who move now and who approach negotiations with current transaction data. Tenant representation is funded by the landlord in every transaction; what it delivers is a broker with current transaction-level data on Milton, Mississauga, Burlington, and Brampton, who can negotiate across the full western GTA market.
For tenants with requirements of 50,000 SF and above, Milton is also one of the few remaining markets in the GTA where purpose-built new construction is economically viable - where a developer will build to a specific tenant’s footprint, clear height, and power requirements at a lease rate that works for both parties. Harjaap Singh Makkar has the developer relationships in this corridor to facilitate those conversations.
For terminal operators and 3PL businesses - the user type that has historically driven the most activity in the Milton corridor - Harjaap brings direct experience structuring both landlord and tenant mandates for terminal-specific requirements, including the site criteria, parking ratios, and lease terms that govern these transactions.
