UPS today announced the opening of a new 800,000-square-foot logistics campus for UPS Supply Chain Solutions. The second largest UPS logistics facility ever built in North America, was developed by a joint venture between LaSalle Investment Management’s Canadian Income and Growth Fund 1 and Giffels Management Ltd. at a cost of $80 million CAD.
Two buildings currently comprise the campus, which also is the Canadian headquarters of UPS Supply Chain Solutions. A 600,000-square-foot distribution center geared to the logistics needs of consumer goods and high-tech businesses spans the equivalent of six Canadian football fields. The second building is a specialized 207,000-square-foot healthcare center focused on the needs of pharmaceutical and medical device industries. This state-of-the-art facility meets quality assurance requirements that adhere to Health Products and Food Branch Inspectorate regulations.
