Buying Commercial Land in Burlington — What to Know

Here's why Burlington continues to attract buyers of Commercial Land, and what our team brings to your search.

🔍

Current & Future Zoning

Confirm existing zoning permissions and review the municipal official plan and any secondary plans for future intensification or land-use changes.

🔍

Servicing & Infrastructure

Check the availability and capacity of water, sanitary sewer, stormwater and hydro servicing to the site, as this can significantly affect development costs and timelines.

🔍

Environmental & Soil Conditions

Order a Phase I (and Phase II if warranted) environmental site assessment, especially for sites with a history of industrial or automotive use.

🔍

Assembly Potential

Consider whether adjacent parcels could be assembled to create a larger, more efficient development site, and research ownership of neighbouring lots.

Financing and Cap Rate Considerations for Commercial Land in Burlington

Raw and development land is financed more conservatively than income-producing property, often requiring larger down payments and shorter terms. Buyers should have a clear business plan — whether holding, entitling or building — before approaching lenders.

In Burlington, land does not generate a traditional cap rate, but buyers should evaluate carrying costs (taxes, financing) against the expected timeline to entitlement or sale, and compare per-acre or per-buildable-square-foot pricing to recent comparable land transactions. Local cap rates for Commercial Land currently sit around 4.5%–7%, with typical deal sizes in the $1M–$25M range.
