A local real estate brokerage has added an office building at a prominent intersection in the city’s south end to its growing portfolio as it continues to expand its footprint in Eastern Ontario.
Facilities Commercial Realty purchased the 35,000-square-foot commercial building at 2781 Lancaster Rd., near the corner of Walkley Road, from Guelph-based Skyline Commercial REIT for $6.2 million.
Tenants of the 30-year-old building, which is fully occupied with an average weighted lease term of about six years, include engineering firm Stantec, a major union and computer services company NeoLore Networks.
