Offices to rent in Canada: prices and what to check

Updated 4 November 2026

Offices to rent in Canada cost from about CA$459 a month for a private office in a coworking space, and roughly CA$775 to CA$3,000 a month for listings in Toronto. These are approximate figures from listings and sellers' websites, November 2026. For current offers near you, describe the space in a request on BlaBlaPrice.

What the rent does not include

Net rent is only part of the bill. In downtown Toronto Class A buildings, additional rent for operating costs (often called TMI) commonly runs CA$20 to CA$30 per sq ft a year, and CA$12 to CA$20 in Etobicoke and the suburban GTA. Traditional office leases in Montreal are described at CA$35 to CA$55 per sq ft a year in total occupancy costs, including fit-out and overheads. Ask for the total monthly cost, and ask whether the landlord contributes to the fit-out through a tenant improvement allowance.

Business licences to check

Before you sign, find out which licences apply to your business. In Burnaby, the intermunicipal business licence (IMBL) costs CA$300 and is not pro-rated, and the Burnaby business licence fee is payable on top of it. Ask the landlord which licences the premises already hold and who pays for them.

Winter and viewings

Winter runs from December to February in Canada, so viewings and move-in dates in November and December meet snow and short days. Ask how the entrance and parking are cleared in winter, and whether the building has backup power for outages.

What to put in your request

Give the area or address (Toronto, Montreal, Vancouver, Calgary or Ottawa), the floor area in square feet or m², the monthly rent you can pay in CA$, the number of workstations, the building type and layout, and whether you need it furnished or in a fit-out condition. Add the lease term you want and whether you need backup power.

BlaBlaPrice is free for buyers. Describe the office in your own words in a chat, and BlaBlaPrice's AI looks through sellers' websites and listings in Canada, then shows the prices and businesses it finds. Sellers registered on BlaBlaPrice reply in the chat with their own offer, price, terms and move-in date, and your contact details stay hidden until you choose to share them.
