The Journey Starts Here: Introducing Gateway Industrial Park

OTTAWA, March 21, 2023 — Colonnade BridgePort is now pre-leasing up to 900,000 sq.ft. at Gateway Industrial Park, a multi-building development in south Ottawa, ideally suited to logistics, distribution, and eCommerce businesses. With frontage on Highway 416, Gateway Industrial Park provides ready access to Highways 417 and 401; and its proximity to seven Canada-US border crossings, makes it an optimal location for access to Canada’s most populous region and to key points throughout Eastern Ontario, Quebec, and the United States.

Gateway Industrial Park will feature four buildings of 150,000 to 220,000 sq.ft. with the ability to accommodate larger users. Colonnade BridgePort is overseeing leasing, construction, and management of the park on behalf of owner CanFirst Capital Management.

“Gateway Industrial Park is providing much needed distribution and warehouse space in the Ottawa region – an emerging gateway to several major markets,” said Colonnade BridgePort‘s Director of Industrial Leasing, Scott Craven. “There has been a lot of buzz about this development, and we are looking forward to getting the design finalized, leases signed, and shovels in the ground in the fall of 2023.”

Industrial users will benefit from Gateway’s prime location in one of Canada’s most business-friendly cities. With a growing population of over 1 million people, superb access to talent from its four post-secondary institutions, and a global network of support industries, Ottawa has become an established hub for R&D, and technology.

Gateway Industrial Park is adjacent to the amenity-rich south Ottawa community of Barrhaven and neighbors Amazon’s new 2.8 million sq.ft. fulfillment centre, located just off Highway 416 at Strandherd Drive and Citigate Drive.

“Our investment in this land and this development shows our confidence in Ottawa and in the growth of Ottawa’s industrial market,” said CanFirst Executive Vice-President Mark Braun. “With Colonnade BridgePort’s expertise, we have no doubt that Gateway Industrial Park will provide tenants with the space they need to meet and even exceed their business objectives.
