There is quite a lot of commercial real-estate activity in Cobourg – some for sale and some for lease. I find the more interesting category is sale (rather than lease) since that means the owner wants out. It’s also interesting to note which properties are no longer on sale – for example the Park Theatre and the “Quigley” lot on Second Street. Based on public information (MLS and others), I have prepared a list with some properties new and some which have been up for sale for a year or more. The list is not complete since not all sales are on MLS – a notable group of properties in this category are those on King West originally owned by John Lee. Note that this list is not a list of closed stores.

Pretty sure the 9/9A/11 King East building was sold a year or two ago. I spoke to the realtor who had it listed and he told me he had sold it.
Maybe the new owner is now selling. Cobourg’s Economic Development dept lists it as for sale as of 26 July 2019.
Storage units at Division and Albert? Really? Why allow this sort of ugly at this prime location? There are storage units outside of town on Hwy 2. Sounds like somebody is not thinking clearly.
Would this even be allowed? Wouldn’t they have to get some kind of site plan approval for storage units?
Abby,
“this sort of ugly”??
Have you seen the developers plans? How do you know it will be ugly?
The location sign says INDOOR storage. This building will likely look somewhat like an office building. The storage units are only accessible from the inside. This facility could be quite useful to nearby condo/apartment dwellers as well as downtown merchants
