75-77 Tycos Drive

Notes

This purpose-built structure was designed by the modernist architecture firm John B Parkin Associates, originally constructed by Taylor Instrument Companies in 1954, later operating under the brand “Tycos”. The property then served as the distribution center for Roots Canada from the mid 90s until 2019. The total building area is 108,066 square feet on a 4.4 acre lot. This single level on slab building includes ceiling heights ranging from 14’ to 24’.

The property is located in the Yorkdale-Glen Park neighbourhood of Toronto and situated near the junction of Allen Road and Highway 401, offering excellent access to major arterial routes and a short drive to downtown Toronto. The surrounding area has experienced significant industrial and commercial revitalization, driven by ongoing demand for well-located infill properties and proximity to the city’s core. The area is characterized by a mix of light industrial, showroom, and office uses, supported by nearby retail amenities along Dufferin Street and the Yorkdale Shopping Centre. The location also benefits from access to public transit, including the Lawrence West and Glencairn subway stations, making it highly accessible for both employees and visitors.

The Property is designated within the City of Toronto Official Plan as Industrial – Employment Industrial Zone (E.1)
