PRAXIS Healthcare Real Estate helps specialists, family physicians, diagnostic clinics, dental and allied health practices lease or buy clinical space across Pickering, Ajax, Whitby, Oshawa, and Clarington, and helps Durham property owners attract healthcare tenants.
Durham Region's population is growing along the Highway 401 and 407 corridors, from Seaton in north Pickering to Brooklin in north Whitby and new neighbourhoods in Courtice and Bowmanville. Primary care, diagnostics, and specialist clinics have not kept pace, which is why well-located medical suites near family practices, pharmacies, and labs are in steady demand.
Many of the practitioners we hear from in Durham are leasing on their own for the first time: specialists who previously paid overhead inside a group clinic, diagnostic operators setting up echo, Holter, or stress-testing rooms, and practices moving out of a sublease. The first lease is where most of the long-term cost gets locked in, so it pays to understand the terms before signing.
PRAXIS is healthcare-only. That means site criteria built around clinical flow, realistic budgets for Durham's rent and additional-rent levels, and lease language that protects the build-out you are about to pay for.

PRAXIS Healthcare Real Estate represents healthcare tenants searching for clinical space across Durham Region. PRAXIS acts for the practice, not the landlord, and in most lease transactions the tenant's representation is paid through the landlord's co-operating commission.
A reception and waiting area plus three exam or testing rooms often fits in roughly 800 to 1,200 square feet, depending on equipment, washrooms, and corridor layout. The more useful question is whether the space can be built out efficiently. PRAXIS reviews layouts and servicing before you commit.
Most Durham medical leases quote a net rent per square foot, plus additional rent (often called TMI: property taxes, maintenance, and insurance), plus utilities. An all-in budget has to cover all of it. Getting a clear additional-rent figure early avoids shortlisting space you cannot actually afford.
Yes. PRAXIS represents landlords and developers leasing to physicians, dental practices, pharmacies, diagnostic operators, and allied health tenants. See landlord representation.
Representation terms are discussed at the outset of every mandate and depend on the scope of the search. Ontario rules require a written agreement setting out the services and how the brokerage is paid, and PRAXIS will explain the options on the first call.
