Amazon, Crestwood and partners host Ajax groundbreaking
CRESTPOINT — Gathered for the launch of construction of the new Amazon distribution centre in Ajax, Ont. recently were John Henry, regional chair, Durham; James Beach, Broccolini; Ontario Minister of Finance and Ajax MPP Rod Phillips; Kevin Leon, Crestpoint; Angeline Bilodeau, Amazon; and Minesh Dave, Blackwood.

AJAX, ONT. — Crestpoint Real Estate Investments, Broccolini and Blackwood Partners gathered earlier this month for a groundbreaking ceremony for the new 1.1-million-square-foot Amazon fulfilment centre in Ajax, Ont.

The fulfilment centre will be used to pack and ship large customer purchases such as sports equipment, patio furniture, fishing rods, pet food, kayaks, bicycles and other household goods, stated a release.

Located on the northern parcel of Crestpoint’s GTA East Industrial Park, Broccolini is leading the construction of the new 58-acre build-to-suit distribution centre at Salem Road and Rossland Road East. Construction is slated to be complete in 2021. 

Once completed, the single-tenant, Class-A industrial building will feature a 40-foot clear height, 110 dock-level doors and 195 trailer parking stalls. There is a projected completion date in 2021.

“We are pleased to be partnering with Broccolini and Blackwood Partners for the development of the GTA East Industrial Park and thankful for the Town of Ajax’s Priority Path which has allowed us to expedite the approval process for this exciting new project,” said Kevin Leon, president of Crestpoint, in a statement. “We look forward to welcoming Amazon in a 1.1-million-square-foot state-of-the-art industrial building on the northern parcel and are eager to work with other market-leading firms to build over 900,000 square feet of best-in-class facilities on our southern parcel.”
