Office, industrial, flex and retail space for lease across Kanata, Stittsville and the Carp Road corridor.
Commercial Property for Lease in Kanata and Stittsville
Kanata and Stittsville
Commercial space in Ottawa's growing west end
Kanata and Stittsville combine a major technology park, newer industrial and flex buildings, and fast-growing neighbourhoods that support retail and services. Each property type here tells a different story.
New industrial buildings in Stittsville have pushed local vacancy up, giving industrial and flex tenants more choice. Retail space is the opposite: Kanata and Stittsville plazas are almost full. Office tenants have choice, including sublets in Kanata North.
We help businesses compare options across all three and negotiate the lease. See our Kanata and Stittsville area pages.
