The Market Place

Lakeshore is part of the Windsor-Essex County peninsula, which is central to North America’s manufacturing and high technology industries.

Our area is strategic. It’s home to 375,000 people on the Canadian side of the Detroit River and there are 4.5 million people in the adjacent areas of Detroit and Southeastern Michigan... all just within 40 miles (65 km.) of us.

We, and Windsor-Essex County, are home to the Canadian headquarters of the Daimler Chrysler Corporation, along with major elements of Ford of Canada, General Motors of Canada and in addition, Nemak, Lear, Quality Safety Systems, Magna International, Shukra, FlexNGate, the H.J. Heinz Company and Hiram Walker Walker & Sons Ltd., among many others.

In short, access to the largest consuming market place in the world is just minutes away!

What's more, it's easy and economically attractive to establish here. The prices of our industrial development sites are among the lowest in Canada.

Our temperate peninsula allows us to enjoy the longest and most favourable growing climate in Canada. It averages more than 200 days each year, and we have also become home to the finest of viniculture, with Essex County wineries attracting international favour and awards.

Ceasars Windsor is a legend well established and has completed a massive $400 million expansion to include a convention centre.

In Lakeshore itself and within a half hour’s drive, we have rapidly developing retail areas, international manufacturers, international entertainment, world class sporting events and some of the finest natural and created attractions anywhere on the continent. And no wonder, our household incomes are among the highest in Canada.

So whether you are looking to buy from one of our quality manufacturers, visit one of our fine retailers or if you are considering a location from which to service one of the largest market spaces on earth from the most convenient location anywhere, THINK LAKESHORE, ONTARIO CANADA!
