Vaughan is the industrial engine of York Region and the northern GTA — home to Canada’s largest rail classification yard, one of the region’s biggest supplies of employment land, and thousands of distribution and manufacturing operations. Titan Steel Buildings designs and supplies pre-engineered steel buildings for Vaughan businesses, developers, and landowners who need durable, clear-span space engineered to Ontario’s snow and wind loads and the City of Vaughan’s permitting requirements.
One accountable Canadian manufacturing partner — from design and engineering to delivery and erection.
Vaughan is the fourth-largest industrial market in the Greater Toronto Area, with close to 100 million square feet of industrial space and one of the region’s largest supplies of employment land in the Vaughan Enterprise Zone. It sits at the crossroads of Highways 400, 407, and 427, within 10 km of Pearson Airport, and is home to the CN MacMillan Yard and the CPKC Vaughan Intermodal Terminal — the reason distribution and manufacturing operators like Home Depot, FedEx, and Purolator cluster here. It is exactly the demand pre-engineered steel is built for: large clear-span warehouses, distribution and e-commerce buildings, manufacturing and fabrication plants, and fleet or contractor facilities.
