Agri-Industrial Property Appraisals in Southwestern Ontario
Agrecomm Appraisal Group provides AACI-designated agri-industrial property appraisal services across Southwestern Ontario. We specialize in valuing properties that combine agricultural land with industrial or processing improvements, supporting lenders, owner-operators, investors, and institutional clients with well-supported valuation reports prepared in accordance with Canadian Uniform Standards of Professional Appraisal Practice (CUSPAP).
Agri-industrial properties represent a unique intersection of farmland, specialized buildings, and income-producing operations. These assets often include food processing facilities, storage and distribution buildings, on-farm manufacturing, grain storage, feed handling, and bulk agricultural storage systems, and rural industrial improvements. Accurate valuation requires an understanding of agricultural land quality, building functionality, operational flow, and how buyers and lenders evaluate farm-based industrial real estate.
Our appraisals reflect real market behaviour across rural and small-town Ontario, incorporating verified sales evidence, private transactions where available, and agricultural market indicators to support financing, acquisition, refinancing, estate planning, and accounting.
Agri-Industrial Property Types We Appraise
We regularly complete appraisal assignments for:
- Food processing facilities
- On-farm manufacturing and production buildings
- Commodity handling and storage facilities
- Cold storage and temperature-controlled agricultural buildings
- Packing and distribution facilities
- Farm-based commercial operations
- Rural industrial yards and service properties
- Mixed agricultural–industrial sites

Each agri-industrial property presents unique valuation considerations, and every appraisal is tailored to the specific land base, improvements, operational layout, and market positioning.
Key Valuation Considerations for Agri-Industrial Properties
Agri-industrial properties combine multiple asset components, requiring analysis of both land and specialized improvements.
Depending on the assignment, key valuation considerations may include:
- Site size, configuration, and land usability
- Soil quality and agricultural capability (where applicable)
- Building age, condition, and construction type
- Production layout and workflow efficiency
- Electrical, water, and servicing capacity
- Specialized improvements (production lines, refrigeration, storage systems, etc.)
- Yard space and truck access
- Zoning and permitted industrial/agricultural uses
- Environmental considerations
- Expansion potential and surplus land
For income-producing properties, valuation may also consider lease terms, rental rates, operating expenses, tenant profiles, and overall income potential.
Because many agri-industrial transactions occur privately or through specialized markets, our analysis incorporates verified private sale evidence alongside broader agricultural and industrial market indicators.
How Agri-Industrial Properties Are Valued
Agri-industrial properties are typically valued using a combination of the Direct Comparison Approach and Cost Approach, with reconciliation to a single most probable market value in accordance with CUSPAP. Where applicable, income analysis may also be incorporated for leased or income-producing assets.
Our valuation process considers:
- Comparable agri-industrial and rural commercial sale
- Land value components and surplus land
- Replacement cost and depreciation of specialized improvements
- Building functionality and market appeal
- Local buyer demand and financing trends
Each appraisal reflects how agri-industrial properties are traded in the marketplace.
