Why Use a Broker
No cost to tenants.
Tenant rep fees are paid by the landlord, not the tenant. I work exclusively in industrial, and NAI Commercial Vancouver's relationships with the long-term Burnaby landlords surface off-market and pre-market inventory that public sites miss.

FAQ
Common questions.
What are warehouse lease rates in Burnaby?
Asking net rents typically range $17 to $24 PSF for warehouse space in Burnaby, with Class A modern distribution toward the upper end and legacy product at the lower end. Operating costs add roughly $5 to $9 PSF. Final rent depends on building specs, lease term, TI allowance, and submarket - Big Bend and Marine Way trade differently from Lake City and Still Creek.
How quickly can I lease warehouse space in Burnaby?
Pre-fitted space matching your specs can be occupied in 60 to 90 days. Space requiring tenant improvements runs 4 to 9 months from lease signing through permitting and build-out. Operators with specific power, clear height, or loading requirements should start the search 9 to 12 months ahead of move-in.
Where in Burnaby do warehouses concentrate?
Big Bend (south Burnaby near Marine Way) hosts the largest concentration of modern warehouse and distribution inventory. Lake City and Still Creek host older mid-bay product. Marine Way corridor has flex and warehouse mix. The right submarket depends on access requirements, labour catchment, and operational profile.
Should I use a broker if I'm leasing warehouse space?
Tenants typically benefit from broker representation because tenant rep fees are paid by the landlord. A tenant rep broker negotiates against the listing broker on your behalf, surfaces off-market inventory you'd miss, and structures lease terms (TI, free rent, escalations, options) that often deliver economic value beyond the broker fee.
