Commercial Design-Build Contractor in Lindsay, ON

In Lindsay, the main service centre for Kawartha Lakes, Henley Contracting plans and builds retail plazas and other commercial buildings. A new plaza needs units that suit a mix of tenants, a site that handles parking and deliveries, and a design that looks good from the road. Design-build brings these pieces together under one team and one budget.

Retail plazas in Lindsay

A plaza works when each unit has good visibility, a clear entrance and services ready for its tenant. The building, signage areas, parking and landscaping are planned together so the whole site works.

We help owners test unit sizes and layouts against the budget.

Sizes and services for a mix of uses.
02 / STREET PRESENCE
Canopies, glazing and sign areas.
03 / PARKING AND DELIVERY
Customers and trucks kept apart.
04 / CITY PERMITS

02 / WHAT WE BUILDDESIGN-BUILD · LINDSAY

Deliveries and garbage at the back.

Snow

Space to store snow without losing parking.

03 / IN FOCUSDESIGN-BUILD · LINDSAY

Built for winter

Canopies over entrances, heated vestibules and good drainage make a plaza safer and more comfortable for customers through the winter.

Tenant fit-out

Units can be finished for known tenants or left ready for fit-out. We coordinate tenant work so openings happen on time.

05 / IN FOCUSDESIGN-BUILD · LINDSAY

Anchor tenants

If a plaza has a larger anchor tenant, their requirements for size, loading and signage can shape the whole building. We plan around them first.

06 / IN FOCUSDESIGN-BUILD · LINDSAY

Phased construction

A plaza can be built in phases, with the first units opening while later ones are still under construction, so rent starts sooner.

07 / IN FOCUSDESIGN-BUILD · LINDSAY

Drainage on a large paved site

A plaza's roofs and parking lot shed a lot of water. Catch basins, storage and grading are designed so runoff is handled on the site as the City requires.

08 / IN FOCUSDESIGN-BUILD · LINDSAY

Fire separations between tenants

Each unit in a plaza is separated from its neighbours by fire-rated walls that run to the roof. Planning these early keeps the structure simple and the units easy to lease.

After receiving a few quotes from different contractors to do a full renovation of our kitchen and dining room, we chose Henley because of how comfortable Nick and his team made us feel right from the first conversation.

From start to finish it took just over three weeks for the team to demolish our ugly, dated, and dark kitchen, and fully rebuild a stunning bright and light new space, designed with style and functionality in mind.

The Henley team was very responsive (shout out to Tom and Michelle), and kept us fully informed throughout the project with the Buildertrend app. They uploaded photos and notes to the app daily, so we always knew where the project was at and how things were progressing. We loved the transparency of this, especially not being at home through the reno.

Thank you Henley Contracting for completely transforming our space.
We are so happy with the final results!
