Toronto, ON, April 13, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Nicola Wealth Real Estate (NWRE) announces a large property acquisition to expand their industrial footprint in the Greater Toronto Area. This acquisition adds to their growing Ontario portfolio comprised of several industrial properties and other asset classes.
The acquisition of this 21-acre property situated on Milner Road facing the 401 Express Highway in Scarborough provides excellent exposure and access to all areas of Toronto and the surrounding areas. The firm’s strategy is to demolish the existing older buildings and develop approximately 350,000 sf of new industrial distribution space to meet the strong demand from users in a supply-constrained marketplace.
“We are excited to acquire this prime industrial property in Scarborough just off the 401 Expressway,” says Ron Bastin, Director of Acquisitions at Nicola Wealth Real Estate. “The 21-acre land parcel enables us to develop quality distribution space for our income fund to meet the strong demand from industrial users in a market starved for new quality product.”
NWRE continues to concentrate its growth in major Canadian markets including the Greater Toronto Area, Greater Vancouver, Vancouver Island and the Okanagan with a focus on acquiring income-producing properties and value-add opportunities.
