Third-party logistics and distribution operations require facilities designed for speed, efficiency, and scalability. We specialize in helping 3PL providers and logistics companies secure industrial properties that support warehousing, fulfillment, cross-docking, and transportation-intensive operations.
​
We understand how critical building layout, door count, ceiling height, yard configuration, trailer access, and proximity to major transportation corridors are to a logistics business. Our team evaluates properties through an operational lens, ensuring inbound and outbound flow, staging areas, racking potential, and material-handling requirements are fully supported.
​
With extensive experience working with logistics users across the GTA, we help identify facilities that can accommodate high trailer volumes, flexible storage systems, and future expansion. We also navigate zoning, permitted uses, and landlord negotiations to ensure the space aligns with operational needs from day one.
