50 ACRES SOLD IN CLARINGTON: Unlocking the Future Development Potential of Farmland

The Challenge & Approach

Lee & Associates Toronto was tasked to facilitate the disposition of a generationally owned family farm located at 801 Maple Grove Road, Clarington. The property consists of 49.54 acres strategically positioned immediately adjacent to the Bowmanville urban boundary with direct exposure to Highway 401, placing it within one of Durham Region’s most active long-term growth corridors. Surrounded by residential designated lands to the northeast and industrial designated lands to the east, the site represented a compelling opportunity for investors and developers seeking future development land in a prime location between expanding urban boundaries.

Our team executed a structured and comprehensive marketing process, casting a wide net to maximize exposure to qualified purchasers actively seeking strategic land positions in established growth areas. Through targeted outreach and an open marketing approach, we generated strong interest from institutional and private land investors with the appetite to secure long-term development land.

The Outcome

Following a competitive process and thorough due diligence period, the property was successfully acquired by a Municipal authority. The site’s scale, strategic location, and proximity to existing residential and industrial growth made it a compelling acquisition opportunity. Through successful negotiations, our team was able to secure favourable terms for both the vendor and purchaser, resulting in the successful sale of this future development land site.
