Whiteland to build new distribution center at CenterPort Canada
Whiteland Developers recently broke ground on a CA$19 million, 100,000-square-foot distribution center in the BrookPort Business Park at CentrePort Canada in Manitoba.
Nutrien, one of the world’s largest provider of crop inputs and services, will occupy the facility when construction is completed in fourth-quarter 2021, CentrePort Canada officials said in a press release.
“Nutrien has signed a long-term lease for this design-build facility with Whiteland, and we look forward to welcoming them at the end of this year,” said Sam Sidhu, president of Whiteland Developers.
Businesses located in the park have access to rail service by Canadian Pacific, CN and BNSF Railway Co.
Since fall 2018, Whiteland has brought two fully serviced industrial parks to market at CentrePort: BrookPort Business Park and InksPort Business Park.
BrookPort was brought to market in two phases, both of which are fully sold. Thirteen companies, including anchor tenant Merit Functional Foods, are operational or have facilities under construction in the park.
CentrePort Canada is North America’s largest trimodal inland port.
