Position your business in one of Barrie's most iconic and historically significant commercial properties. Located in a prime waterfront corridor on prestigious Dunlop Street East, 168 Dunlop St. E. offers approximately 4,850 sq. ft. above grade on a ~0.24-acre lot with exceptional visibility, strong pedestrian activity and high vehicular exposure. Situated directly across from the new Lakhouse condominium development and just steps to Barrie's waterfront, Heritage Park and the North Shore Trail, this landmark property is perfectly positioned within one of the city's fastest-growing and most vibrant downtown districts. Known as the former residence of Barrie mayor Donald Ross, this distinctive turreted building holds an important place in the community's history. Widely regarded as one of Barrie's most well-read citizens, Ross had a deep appreciation for history and the Presbyterian Church, adding further character and significance to this remarkable property. Currently operating as a successful Thai restaurant, the building features excellent commercial space including a full commercial kitchen, dining areas, patio and deck space, along with ample on-site parking. The upper two floors contain residential-style bedrooms with outstanding rental or live/work potential. Recent upgrades include a new patio and porch completed in 2022 and a high-efficiency furnace installed in 2025. Zoned Transition Centre Commercial (C2-1), this versatile property presents a rare opportunity for investors, restaurateurs, entrepreneurs or mixed-use redevelopment in a premier downtown waterfront setting. Do not approach owners directly, business is operating. Some images may be digitally rendered.
This commercial retail sits in City Centre, in Barrie. Barrie is the hub of our home turf: a waterfront city on Kempenfelt Bay with commuter GO service, a growing downtown, and neighbourhoods that range from century homes near the bay to brand-new builds in the south end.
