BUSINESS FROM
YOUR GARAGE

Founding Members who apply before March 15 get their rate locked in for 5 years while everyone else pays market rate.
Sound Familiar?
YOU KNOW THIS FEELING
Your garage is bursting at the seams
Tools piled on top of tools. Your partner is fed up. Your kids can't park their bikes. You're tripping over inventory at 5 AM trying to load the truck. This is no way to run a growing business.
Your equipment is one break-in away from disaster
That $40,000 in tools sitting in your driveway? One bad night and it's gone. Insurance won't cover half of it. And the police report won't bring back the jobs you'll miss while you replace everything.
You're wasting 2 hours a day hauling gear
Loading up. Driving to the storage unit. Unloading. Driving to the job site. Repeat in reverse at 6 PM. That's 10 hours a week you could be billing. At $75/hour, that's $39,000 a year in lost revenue.
You're losing clients because you look unprofessional
When a $50,000 renovation client asks to see your shop and you point to your garage with the broken door? That contract goes to the guy with the professional setup. Every. Single. Time.
Zoning is a ticking time bomb
Running a commercial operation from a residential property. Neighbors complaining. Bylaw officers sniffing around. One complaint and you're shut down with nowhere to go and jobs on the line.
You're doing this completely alone
No one to bounce ideas off. No one who gets it. No referral network. No community. Just you, your tools, and the constant grind of figuring everything out by yourself.
EVERY DAY YOU WAIT, IT COSTS YOU MORE.
More lost revenue. More risk. More stress. The trades pros who are winning right now are the ones who invested in a real workspace. The question is: will you be one of them?
Free to apply, it's quick and easy.
The Math Doesn't Lie
WHAT "SAVING MONEY" IS
ACTUALLY COSTING YOU
10 hours/week hauling gear x $75/hour billable rate = $39,000 in revenue you're leaving on the table every single year.
The average trades pro has $40,000+ in tools and equipment. One theft and you're starting over. Can your business survive that?
Premium clients choose the contractor with the professional setup. Every year, you're losing 2-3 big contracts because of perception.
TOTAL ANNUAL COST OF DOING NOTHING: $129,000+
A Trade Yards unit costs a fraction of that. The question isn't whether you can afford it. The question is whether you can afford NOT to.

Still Have Questions?
LET'S CLEAR THE AIR
"I can't afford $3,000/month right now."
Can you afford to lose $39,000/year in billable hours hauling gear around? Can you afford to lose a $50,000 contract because a client didn't take you seriously? Trade Yards doesn't cost you money. It makes you money. The math is simple: if having a professional workspace helps you land even ONE extra job per month, it pays for itself several times over.
"What if my business doesn't work out?"
We offer 1-year and 2-year lease terms, not 5 or 10 like traditional industrial landlords. And the application itself is completely free and non-binding. You're not locked into anything until you sign the lease. We want tenants who are serious about growing, but we also understand that business is unpredictable.
"I already have a storage unit. Why would I switch?"
A storage unit is a box you stuff things in. Trade Yards is a workspace you operate from. You can't run a table saw in a storage unit. You can't meet clients there. You can't park your truck inside. And most storage units have zero security beyond a padlock. This is a completely different category.
"Is this just a fancy storage facility?"
Not even close. Trade Yards is a purpose-built workspace compound for trades businesses. Each unit has power, a roll-up garage door, a man door, 21-foot ceilings, and is surrounded by 24/7 security infrastructure. It's your shop. Your HQ. Your professional base of operations.
"What if all the units are taken by the time I apply?"
That's exactly why we're telling you to apply now. We have 14 units total. 7 are already claimed. Once they're gone, there is no Phase 2 planned. The application takes 5 minutes and costs nothing. Don't let hesitation cost you the opportunity.
"Can I come see the property before applying?"
Absolutely. Call us at (604) 803-8439 to schedule a site visit. But don't wait to apply first. The application is free and non-binding, and it secures your place in line. You can always visit the property before signing anything.
