The 401-403 corridor can be your business development destination

No matter what any Major League Baseball club can assign to
its infield, the best double play combination is Len Magyar and Brad Hammond.
Where and Why?
This duo can scoop up anything that is ground(er) in an industrial
area of Woodstock, Ontario and promote both its location and possibilities to
attract industry and employment to this southwestern Ontario region.
The most recent newsletter from the City’s development
commissioner office notes quickly and succinctly the amount of land available
locally for commercial / industrial purposes. The best news is that a good portion of the best land, and most certainly the best overall possible destination (401-403 intersection), is owned by the City, which assists in controlling prices for land buyers considering Woodstock.
Newsletter intro:
“Woodstock continues to prove its reputation as one of the most
investment friendly locations in Ontario. Many businesses are choosing
Woodstock because of its winning combination of reasonable real estate
prices, No Industrial Development Charges, and great access to both labour and
markets. Over 400 acres of vacant industrial land is available for lots of
all sizes both in municipal and private ownership. More than 300 acres are
fully serviced and shovel-ready for development with many options to choose
from. A wide range of buildings from 3,000 to 150,000 sq. ft. are also
available in move-in condition.”
In promoting a community it is not a balanced playing field, nor
should it be, as based solely on our locale at the 401-403
connection or ‘crossroads’, Woodstock is the grand slam.
The fact there is no development charges from the City of
Woodstock is an important factor for multi-national firms looking for a place
to call home base (More puns).
Woodstock also hits a home run based on limiting the overall cost
of a building permit – based partially on cost recovery from the engineering
and building inspection departments. Don’t ask me the final total or its
possible plateau sum ($25,000 ?), contact the shortstops. Yes, both Mr Magyar (519 539-2382, x2112; lmagyar@city.woodstock.on.ca) and Mr Hammond (x2113; bhammond@city.woodstock.on.ca) are vertically challenged and since neither play ‘second’ fiddle to anyone, I
will refer to them as middle infielders or the go-between from your company to
City Council and Mayor Pat Sobeski’s (hot) corner office at 500 Dundas St in
Downtown. Hammond and Magyar (top picture) are the ground-ruling double, but there’s no bad
bounces here.
401-403
While I mentioned the crossroads of the two significant
transportation arteries, it must be added when you look at the PDF newsletter
that Lot 1 might just be the best industrial location anywhere in Ontario right
now, in my humble honest opinion. The cost for the completely serviced property
in the highly-sought-after Commerce Way park is $100,000 per acre, but the
premium (above usual acreage charge of $70,000) is the obvious exposure to both
the 401 and 403 highways, plus that it’s a parcel of 43.5 acres, so it could
also be the home of quite a significantly-sized business venture.
When it’s time for you to discover Woodstock for industry, give
me a call, as I would love to personally introduce you to the Hammond-Magyar
double play combo.
DBG
By the way, I just noticed that the DBG building at Springbank and Juliana has a SOLD sticker on its sign, so therefore yet another company has selected to either expand in Woodstock or re-locate here.
Home Sweet Home
If you have decided Woodstock is the best place to buy a home, call me first as I have 15 years of full-time real estate experience in Oxford
County.
By the way, Len Magyar would call himself a soccer player first –
not baseball.
