Cushman & Wakefield Represents Tree of Life in GTA Expansion

TORONTO, 25 March, 2025 – Cushman & Wakefield announced today that it represented Tree of Life Canada, a leading distributor in the temperature-controlled logistics sector, in securing a 331,016-square-foot lease at 6185 McLaughlin Road, Mississauga.

Tree of Life, which originally occupied 182,751 square feet at the facility, sought additional space to support its rapid growth in Canada. The opportunity to expand materialized when a large U.S. retailer announced its exit from the Canadian market, enabling Tree of Life to secure the adjacent 150,265 square feet. The expansion includes a significant allocation for temperature-controlled operations, featuring state-of-the-art freezer and cooler facilities, consolidating all operations under one roof.

“This expansion reflects our long-term commitment to the Canadian market and our confidence in its continued growth,” said Christopher Parker, Senior Vice President of IT and Operations at Tree of Life Canada. “By investing in this state-of-the-art facility, we are enhancing our ability to provide exceptional service and support to our valued partners. Integrating all temperature zones within a single facility will streamline operations, enhance storage capacity and optimize our distribution network.”

The Cushman & Wakefield team representing Tree of Life included David Reich, Zach Parent, Ray Ramnauth and Kevin Tang. The property owner is Orlando Corporation.

David Reich, Vice President, Multi Market Advisory at Cushman & Wakefield, commented, “Tree of Life required additional space, and the adjacent availability was a perfect fit. In a highly competitive market, we secured a deal that delivers a long-term solution that will further support Tree of Life’s continued growth.”
