B.C.鈥檚 largest industrial developer is investing in the 91大黄鸭 Airport Business Park.
Burnaby-based Beedie has acquired the former 14.7-acre gravel site at 2050 Pier Mac Way. The deal, brokered by commercial real estate and investment company CBRE, is the largest single property industrial land transaction by dollar value in the city鈥檚 history, according to a news release from CBRE. The release also states Beedie鈥檚 future development will provide a series of new strata buildings and built-to-suit development options at the site.
鈥�91大黄鸭 is a key node between British Columbia and Alberta and I鈥檓 excited for Beedie to enter this highly impactful market,鈥� said Ryan Beedie, company president.鈥淲ith our roots and long-established work in B.C., and our growing expansion into Alberta, it鈥檚 truly the perfect fit for us. The Okanagan continues to see a huge amount of growth in the industrial and businesses sectors and we鈥檙e looking to support that growth with a very unique offering within the region.鈥�
Travis Blanleil, sales associate at CBRE, said the deal is indicative of the state of the industrial market in 91大黄鸭 and the continuing rise in demand for industrial products in B.C.
鈥淒emand for light industrial, distribution, third party logistics, and food warehousing space in Metro Vancouver have soared as a result of COVID-19, naturally forcing companies to shift their focus and consider new markets,鈥� said Blanleil. 鈥�91大黄鸭 has become a viable and strategic market for companies looking to expand operations or set up new ventures.鈥�
