Rents in Laval run from $345 to $390 per m² a year across the 18 units on the market — a spread of roughly 13% between the cheap and the expensive end. For a tenant that reframes the negotiation: in Laval the budget is driven by how many square metres are taken, not by which building is picked, because both properties price inside the same band.
Laval's supply is divided between 2 buildings, on Boulevard Daniel-Johnson and Boulevard Saint-Martin Ouest, which hold 18 offices in total. Both are main commercial arteries of the city, which occupies Île Jésus immediately north of Montreal, and with only 2 addresses in play the entire shortlist can be walked in a single morning.
Unit sizes in Laval stretch from 5 m² to 520 m², yet the median is only 72 m², so the bulk of the offer is aimed at small teams rather than full-floor occupiers. A company hunting for several hundred square metres in Laval is choosing from the thin top end of 18 listings, whereas a requirement close to the 72 m² median can be matched several times over inside the same $345 to $390 band.
