Scarborough market insight
Commercial Leasing across Scarborough
Scarborough offers some of the best value inside Toronto's borders, pairing larger lots and detached homes with quick access to the lake and the Bluffs. It's a favourite for families and investors who want city living without downtown price tags.
Detached homes on generous lots remain Scarborough's calling card, and renovated bungalows and backsplits attract both end users and builders. Value-conscious buyers priced out of the core consistently find more square footage here.
The Scarborough Bluffs, Rouge National Urban Park and a deep network of GO stations and the subway extension make the east end both green and well connected. U of T Scarborough anchors a strong rental market.
Scarborough rewards buyers who can see past dated finishes to the lot and the bones - many of its bungalows sit on 40- and 50-foot lots that are increasingly rare elsewhere in Toronto. As transit expands, several pockets are quietly transitioning, which creates real opportunity for both end users and investors.
- Larger lots & detached homes
- Scarborough Bluffs waterfront

Scarborough FAQ
Frequently asked
What are commercial lease rates like in Scarborough?
Rates vary widely by node and property type within Scarborough. Reach out and we'll share current asking rents, TMI ranges and availability for the Scarborough submarket you're considering.
Why are Scarborough lots so sought after?
Many Scarborough bungalows sit on wide 40-50 foot lots that suit additions, garden suites or rebuilds - increasingly scarce in Toronto. That land value underpins both family and builder demand.
Is Scarborough good for investment properties?
Yes - strong rental demand from UTSC and transit expansion supports both long-term holds and value-add plays. Text us for current Scarborough opportunities that fit your strategy.
What does TMI mean?
TMI stands for Taxes, Maintenance and Insurance - the additional costs beyond base rent in most commercial leases. We make sure you understand the fully-loaded cost per square foot before committing.
Net lease vs. gross lease?
In a net lease the tenant pays base rent plus TMI; in a gross lease most costs are bundled. The right structure depends on your business - we'll model both.
Can you negotiate a tenant allowance?
Often, yes - especially for longer terms. We regularly negotiate free rent and improvement allowances to offset build-out costs.
How long do commercial leases usually run?
Most range from three to ten years depending on the space and your build-out investment. We negotiate term length, renewal options and exit flexibility to match your business plan.
Do you represent both landlords and tenants?
Yes - though never on opposite sides of the same deal. We bring tenant-rep diligence to occupiers and disciplined tenant placement to landlords.
