PRAXIS Healthcare Real Estate helps physicians, dentists, allied health, diagnostic, pharmacy, and veterinary operators lease or buy clinical space across Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Aurora, Newmarket, and Thornhill, and helps York Region property owners lease their buildings to healthcare tenants.
PRAXIS is the healthcare real estate practice of Lucero Commercial Group, led by Mya Qi, MPH, who is licensed in Ontario (RECO) and Alberta (RECA). In York Region, it works only on medical, dental, and clinical real estate.
York Region is one of the most active healthcare real estate markets in Ontario. Growth along the Highway 7, 404, 407, and Yonge Street corridors keeps adding households faster than purpose-built medical space is delivered, so practitioners compete for a limited pool of suites that already have clinical plumbing, accessible entries, and parking that works for patients.
The requirements we see here are varied: family and specialist physicians opening a first clinic, dental and orthodontic practices relocating, pediatric physiotherapy centres that need high ceilings in flex or light-industrial units, medical-aesthetic clinics looking to buy ground-floor space instead of leasing it, and physician-led procedure clinics buying unfinished commercial condominium units.
Each of those decisions turns on details that generalist brokers tend to miss: whether the municipal zoning and the condominium declaration both permit a medical use, whether the unit can carry the electrical and HVAC load, and whether the lease protects a practice that will spend heavily on its build-out. PRAXIS reads the space the way a clinic operates.

PRAXIS Healthcare Real Estate, the healthcare-only practice of Lucero Commercial Group, led by Mya Qi, MPH, who is licensed in Ontario (RECO) and Alberta (RECA), represents clinics searching for space across York Region. On tenant mandates 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.
Often yes, but two separate approvals have to line up: the municipal zoning must permit a medical or clinic use, and the condominium declaration and rules must not restrict it. Parking ratios, plumbing stacks, electrical capacity, and HVAC also need checking before you firm up an offer. PRAXIS coordinates that due diligence with your lawyer and design team.
Yes. Business-park and light-industrial units along the 404, 407, and Highway 7 corridors can suit therapy programs that need clear height and open floor area, provided the zoning permits the use. The permitted-use check comes first, since some industrial zones restrict clinical or assembly-type uses.
Yes. PRAXIS represents landlords and developers who want to lease space to physicians, dental practices, pharmacies, diagnostic operators, and allied health tenants. Start at landlord representation or send the property details through the contact page.
Much of the healthcare property that changes hands is never publicly listed. PRAXIS tracks off-market medical and clinical buildings and approaches owners directly on behalf of represented buyers. See off-market inventory.
Medical offices and clinic space in York Region are usually advertised "for lease" rather than "for rent," but it means the same thing: you rent the space under a commercial lease, usually for five years or longer once you build out exam or treatment rooms. See current medical office and clinic listings, or tell PRAXIS what you need and we will search on- and off-market space for you. When you compare spaces, ask for the total monthly cost, not just the rate per square foot: commercial rent is quoted per square foot per year, and taxes, maintenance, and insurance are usually added on top. How medical office rent is quoted.
Yes. PRAXIS Healthcare Real Estate is the healthcare-only practice of Lucero Commercial Group, led by Principal Broker Mya Qi, MPH, who is licensed in Ontario (RECO) and Alberta (RECA). PRAXIS works only on medical, dental, and clinical real estate, representing practices that lease or buy space and the owners who lease to them across Vaughan, Markham, Richmond Hill, Thornhill, Aurora.
Look for a broker who works on clinical space every week, not occasionally. Ask how they confirm zoning permits your medical, dental, or veterinary use; whether they can assess a suite for plumbing, ventilation, accessibility, and patient parking; which recent York Region healthcare deals they benchmark rent, tenant improvements, and free rent against; and whom they represent on the deal. In Ontario, the broker must be licensed with RECO and must tell you in writing whom they represent.
