529 Manitou Drive, Kitchener presents a rare opportunity to acquire a large-scale industrial facility with significant heavy industrial infrastructure, ideally positioned within one of the region’s most established manufacturing corridors.

The property totals approximately 87,000 sf on 7.27 acres, with building construction spanning from 1966 through 1976. Historically operated as a foundry, the facility is exceptionally well-equipped for heavy industrial use, featuring robust power capabilities, multiple overhead cranes (to remain with the building), and clear heights ranging from 18’ to 34’, accommodating a wide range of manufacturing and processing operations.

The building has been well maintained relative to its use and presents flexibility for a purchaser to either continue foundry operations or repurpose the facility for alternative industrial applications. Its configuration and infrastructure make it particularly well-suited for advanced manufacturing, fabrication, or other heavy industrial users seeking scale and capability.

A key differentiator is the property’s excess land component, with approximately 2.25 acres currently utilized as secured yard space. This provides valuable flexibility for outdoor storage, equipment staging, or potential future expansion—features that are increasingly difficult to find within established industrial markets.
