About this home
Strategically located near the Bayshore Arena and harbourfront, this high-visibility commercial property is a rare find for contractors, mechanical, plumbing, HVAC, electrical, or any trades-based operation needing yard space, storage, and a customer-facing presence. Previously operating as a restaurant, this block-and-steel building (60'40') set on a fenced on three sides lot being 105' by 165' lot is primed for its next chapter. The existing infrastructure - in-floor heating, heat pump A/C, two bathrooms, and a 10'10' overhead door - transitions seamlessly to support a service bay, showroom, or trade counter. A second floor adds approximately 650 sq ft of office or storage space. An attached rear building (36' by 16') with its own heating and cooling system and 7' by 7' overhead door is perfect for equipment storage or a dedicated workshop. Exterior storage buildings and a fenced dock area provide the kind of operational versatility that trades businesses thrive on. With high daily traffic exposure, this property positions your brand front and centre while keeping operations running efficiently behind the scenes. Whether you're expanding, relocating, or establishing your trades business in a premium location - this property delivers the space, infrastructure, and visibility to grow. Contact your Realtor today to discuss this fabulous opportunity.
