OVERVIEW

On behalf of the Rosen Goldberg (the “Vendor” or the “Receiver”), Colliers International (the “Advisor”)”) is pleased to offer for sale 521 Essa Road in Barrie, Ontario (the “Property” or “Site”) — a 1.09-acre residential infill site with Site Plan Approval in place for a 48-unit low-rise townhome development. The approved proposal includes a mix of 36 back-to-back townhomes and 12 traditional townhomes, with a proposed Gross Floor Area (GFA) of approximately 66,221 SF, representing an efficient density of 1.4x FSI. Located in the heart of Barrie’s Holly neighbourhood, 521 Essa Road offers a shovel-ready opportunity within one of the city’s most established and amenity-rich communities. The site is positioned just minutes from Highway 400, Mapleview Drive’s major retail corridor, and the Barrie South GO Station, providing excellent access for commuters and future residents alike. The property benefits from its location along an identified Intensification Corridor within Barrie’s Designated Built-Up Area, supporting higher-density residential growth in walkable, transit-served locations. Surrounded by schools, parks, and shopping, the offering provides immediate entry into Barrie’s growing low-rise housing market — supported by strong absorption, rising home prices, and sustained demand from both end-users and investors.
