MAY 2018 BROOKSIDE INDUSTRIAL PARK PHASE III - SELLING FAST Brookside Industrial Park Phase III, CentrePort’s first-ever fully-serviced industrial business park, is already 30% conditionally sold after being officially on the market for only two weeks. Announced in November 2017, the 88.9 acre industrial business park was brought to market by Crystal Developers Ltd. and is brokered by Cushman & Wakefield Winnipeg. Eight lots have already been conditionally sold: 9.8 acres to the National Research Council (3 lots) and offers have been received on 5 more lots totaling 18.5 acres. The lots spoken for are those with the highest land value and frontage on to CentrePort Canada Way, the inland port expressway. The rapid offers on the lots reflect pent-up demand in the market, due to a shortage of industrial land within the capital region and a lack of shovel-ready, fully-serviced land. Brookside Industrial Park Phases I & II and Brookside Business Park, also located in the RM of Rosser, are currently at capacity. “There has been a lack of industrial zoned, shovel-ready and serviced land in the Winnipeg marketplace,” said Martin McGarry, President, Cushman & Wakefield Winnipeg. “Much needed inventory is becoming available at CentrePort and we anticipate the land will sell quickly. We don’t see demand ending anytime soon.” Features of the remaining lots for sale include:
• Prime Location: Located in CentrePort North in the Rural Municipality of Rosser with excellent road connections • •
• •
for truck distribution/transportation Fully-Serviced: Water and wastewater servicing available Industrial Zoning: Land is zoned I2 for general industrial uses including manufacturing, distribution, warehousing, logistics and transportationrelated businesses Streamlined Approval Process: Companies that locate within the park can take advantage of the Inland Port Special Planning Area Flexible Lot Size: Lots range from 3 to 8.1 acres and can be combined for companies requiring a larger land base
“The lots that are conditionally sold all front onto CentrePort Canada Way,” said Diane Gray, President & CEO, CentrePort Canada Inc. “This shows the high demand for quick access to the existing transportation network and demonstrates the park’s ideal proximity to the inland port expressway.”

ROSSER CENTRAL COMMUNITY CLUB WANTS TO HEAR FROM YOU
NEW CENTREPORT TEAM MEMBER
The Rosser Central Community Club is conducting a feasibility study and needs assessment to determine what the best use of the facility would be based on the community’s present and future needs. The Club is located in the RM of Rosser, 10 km from the perimeter highway and PR 221. The mission of the Club is to promote the general well-being of the community (RM of Rosser and surrounding area) by stimulating a greater interest in social, educational, charitable, athletic and cultural activities. While the building was used as a curling rink for 60 years, dwindling curling numbers has meant a re-envisioning of the building as a multi-use and multi-generational facility. In order to determine the specific needs and uses that would best serve the community, the Club is looking for some input from community members and businesses. Please take a few minutes to complete a brief survey to contribute your thoughts as the Club undergoes a renovation plan. Complete the short survey here: https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/3BNKFFN

RED RIVER COLLEGE ANNOUNCES THE HUBERT KLEYSEN HANGAR On April 16, 2018, Red River College (RRC) announced its purchase of a property to continue preparing future employees for the city’s aviation and aerospace industry; RRC had been leasing the hangar since 2002 for its aviation classes. The Province of Manitoba supported the acquisition by approving the College’s plan to borrow up to $8 million to acquire the facility. The purchase will save RRC nearly $1 million over the term of the mortgage and enable greater flexibility to grow and adapt its renowned aviation and aeronautics programs. The facility is located on RRC’s Stevenson Aviation Campus and is to be named the Hubert Kleysen Hangar. The Kleysen family will also set up a scholarship fund for students in the RRC program. RRC’s two campuses are located at CentrePort Canada, enhancing industry access to a skilled workforce and strengthening the linkages between industry and education. To read more, visit the RED blog.

Along with his Transportation colleagues at Stantec – Discipline Lead Luis Escobar and Senior Engineer and Planner Bob Kuryklo, Warren presents a perspective on ways to achieve positive, future-oriented change by planning ahead for mobility management and working the plan.
