Commercial Real Estate & Businesses for Sale in Toronto

Toronto is the largest and most varied commercial market in Canada: street-front retail, restaurants, mixed-use buildings, office floors and industrial units, each with its own pricing and rules from one neighbourhood to the next. Central Commercial helps buyers, tenants, landlords and business owners find the right space and the right deal — below are the commercial listings and businesses for sale in Toronto today.

Toronto areas we focus on

Toronto behaves like several markets at once. The questions that matter — foot traffic, parking, permitted uses, rent per square foot — change block by block.

• Downtown core and King West — restaurants, bars, cafés and professional offices that live on weekday office traffic and weekend visitors.
• Liberty Village and the west end — creative office, fitness, food and converted industrial space.
• Yonge Street corridor — street retail and medical/professional units from downtown up to Eglinton.
• Scarborough — neighbourhood plazas, food businesses and owner-occupied industrial units.
• Etobicoke — industrial and flex space near Highway 427 and the airport, plus retail strips along the main avenues.
• For North York, see our North York page.

What trades in Toronto

Most Toronto enquiries we see fall into four groups: street retail and restaurants (often a business sale and a lease assignment together), mixed-use buildings with a store below and apartments above, small office and medical units, and industrial condos for owner-users. The live numbers above show which of these are on the market right now.

Buying a business here usually means taking over an existing lease, so the remaining term, renewal options, the landlord’s consent and the permitted use in the lease matter as much as the price.

Before you sign in Toronto

• Check the permitted uses under Toronto’s zoning by-law for the exact address — a restaurant, daycare or clinic may need more than an ordinary retail use.
• For restaurants and bars, confirm the liquor licence, patio rights and grease-trap/ventilation set-up before you firm up.
• Ask for at least two years of sales records and the lease, and have them reviewed before conditions are waived.

Questions about Toronto

Do you only handle properties, or businesses too?

Both. We list and sell businesses (restaurants, cafés, retail, services) as well as commercial buildings, units and leases, and we represent buyers and tenants.

Can I buy a Toronto business and take over its lease?

Usually yes, but the landlord must consent to the assignment and may ask for your financial information or a personal guarantee. We build that step into the offer timeline.

Are the listings on this page current?

Yes. They come from the MLS® system and are refreshed throughout the day; sold or expired listings are removed automatically.
