Industrial Land

Industrial lands are available for purchase from the City of London and from private owners. These lands fall into three categories: serviced, un-serviced and serviceable.

There are 8 industrial parks that provide a range of small and large serviced building lots and an abundance of vacant light industrial or general industrial land available for sale. The Parks include Skyway Industrial Park, Forest City Industrial Park, River Road Industrial Park, London Enterprise Park, Trafalgar Industrial Park, and Innovation Park.

Site Plan Approval and Building Permits

Depending upon the scale, complexity and information requirements of an application, the site plan approval process may be completed in six to eight weeks. Complex applications involving a public participation meeting may take an additional four to six weeks.

Once a Site Plan is approved, a Building Permit must be obtained. The Building Permit is required to begin construction of new facilities or alteration of existing facilities. The City's Building Division reviews all applications for building permits to ensure compliance with zoning by-laws and building code requirements.

Buildings have gone up in as little as 168 days, and the city administration is very willing to work with clients to meet their needs. The LEDC will facilitate. Dancor's Testimonial
