Commercial Leasing in Toronto
Leasing commercial space in Toronto? The Krzewski Group helps businesses and landlords across Toronto secure the right office, retail or industrial space on terms that make sense - backed by Crown North Realty.
Why work with us in Toronto
Toronto commercial leasing spans flagship retail on Queen and King, professional office space, and live-work units along the avenues. Downtown TMI and gross rents run high, so we help tenants and landlords structure terms - allowances, free rent and renewals - that actually pencil out.
Toronto's commercial corridors each have their own demand, rents and zoning realities. We help you target the right location, understand true occupancy costs, and negotiate a lease that protects your business or your asset.
- Site selection & space planning
- Lease negotiation: net, gross & TMI
- Landlord representation & tenant placement
- Renewal and expansion strategy
Toronto market insight
Commercial Leasing across Toronto
Toronto is one of North America's most dynamic real estate markets, where a downtown condo, a Leslieville semi and a Forest Hill estate can all trade on the same city map. Demand is deep and competition is real, which is exactly why local strategy matters.
Toronto runs on tight supply and strong demand, so well-priced, well-presented listings still draw multiple offers while overpriced ones stall. Condos move on amenities and transit access; freehold homes move on lot, light and school catchment.
From the TTC subway and streetcar network to the Bloor and Lakeshore GO lines, Toronto rewards buyers who weigh commute, walkability and neighbourhood character together. World-class dining, the waterfront and ravine trails are part of the daily draw.
Toronto's value swings dramatically by pocket and product type - a one-bedroom condo and a detached home can differ by more than a million dollars within the same neighbourhood. Knowing which streets, school zones and condo buildings hold value is what separates a confident move from an expensive guess.
- TTC subway + streetcar access
- Top school catchments
- Condo & freehold depth
- Strong long-term value

Toronto FAQ
Frequently asked
What are commercial lease rates like in Toronto?
Rates vary widely by node and property type within Toronto. Reach out and we'll share current asking rents, TMI ranges and availability for the Toronto submarket you're considering.
Is it better to buy a condo or a freehold home in Toronto?
It depends on your budget, lifestyle and timeline. Condos offer transit access and lower maintenance; freehold homes offer land and long-term appreciation. We'll compare real options in your price range across Toronto and walk you through the trade-offs.
Which Toronto neighbourhoods offer the best value right now?
Value shifts constantly between pockets like the east end, the avenues and emerging transit nodes. Text us and we'll share where current Toronto inventory and pricing line up best with your goals.
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.
