Village Industrial Zoning · Live/Work Permitted

Live/Work Industrial
Units For Lease

Rare in Ontario industrial development: the Village Industrial Exception Two zoning permits an accessory dwelling within your unit as-of-right — no variance. Terrahills builds a finished two-bedroom apartment on the mezzanine of your leased unit, so you run your business and live under one roof, 10 minutes north of the GTA.

Why Live/Work Here

Your Business and Your Home, Under One Roof

For an entrepreneur, maker, or operator, the live/work unit eliminates the commute, consolidates overhead, and puts you steps from your work — legally, and without a planning fight.

Permitted As-of-Right

The Village Industrial Exception Two zoning permits an accessory dwelling within the unit as-of-right — no variance, no special approval, no planning risk.

Finished Living Space Built In

Terrahills builds a fully finished two-bedroom apartment on the mezzanine as part of the fit-out — move into a real home, not a converted corner.

No Commute, One Overhead

Work bay and living space in the same address. Cut the commute, consolidate two sets of overhead into one, and stay close to the operation.

Heavy-Power Work Bay

200A / 400V 3-phase per unit (higher allocation available under build-to-suit), 28-foot clear ceilings at peak, grade-level loading — a serious industrial work bay, not a token workspace.

Room to Grow

Lease a single unit and expand into contiguous space as your business grows, up to 100,000 sqft combined. Flexible terms.

Lake Country Setting

Minutes from Lagoon City, Lake Simcoe, and Casino Rama — a lifestyle base at Simcoe County rates, 10 minutes north of the GTA boundary.

How It Works

From Zoning to Move-In

01

Zoning already permits it

The Village Industrial Exception Two zoning allows an accessory dwelling within the unit as-of-right — nothing to apply for on the live/work question.

02

Design your unit

Lay out the work bay and the mezzanine apartment together — a two-bedroom dwelling sized to stay cleanly within the permitted threshold.

03

Terrahills builds it out

The dwelling and business fit-out are built together as one finished unit, priced before you commit.

04

Lease and move in

Take occupancy of a single leased unit that is both your workplace and your home. No commute, one location.

Prefer to own? The entire 100,000 sqft building is available for purchase as a whole for a single owner or investor. Individual units are leased, not sold. See the whole-building purchase option →
FAQ

Live/Work Questions

Can I legally live in my industrial unit?

Yes. The Village Industrial Exception Two zoning that governs Ramara Industrial Park permits an accessory dwelling unit within an industrial unit as-of-right — meaning no variance or special approval is required. You can legally live and work in the same leased space.

What does the living area include?

Terrahills can build out a fully finished two-bedroom apartment on the mezzanine as part of your fit-out. The dwelling is sized to stay well within the threshold that attracts Township scrutiny, keeping the process clean and straightforward.

Do I need a variance or special permission?

No. Because the accessory dwelling is permitted as-of-right under the Village Industrial Exception Two zoning, no minor variance or special approval is required for the live/work arrangement. That is what makes it a rare and clean opportunity in Ontario industrial development.

How much does a live/work unit cost to lease?

Rates depend on unit size, term, and the level of dwelling and business fit-out you choose, so they are quoted directly. Register or call 647.720.8998 for current rates, floor plans, and the site plan.
