The City of Brampton has reached a major milestone in sustainable industrial development with the launch of North America’s first mass timber warehouse, located at 5525 Countryside Drive. Developed by Prologis, this 246,000+ sq. ft. facility is redefining the future of industrial design, demonstrating that functionality, innovation, and environmental stewardship can go hand in hand.
A Benchmark in Sustainable Design
Built using mass timber construction, the facility achieves a 47% carbon reduction and offsets over 1,000 metric tons of CO₂, a significant advancement compared to traditional building materials.
As Ontario advances its Advanced Wood Construction Action Plan, Brampton is already taking the lead, aligning with provincial goals and reinforcing the city’s reputation for green building innovation and climate-conscious industrial growth.
Strategic Location. High-Impact Features.
Located within Brampton’s thriving logistics and advanced manufacturing corridor, the facility offers:
- Potential to generate 200–400 new jobs
- 35 shipping docks, 210 parking spaces, and 12 EV charging stations
- Close proximity to Lululemon’s 1M+ sq. ft. facility and Pet Valu’s 670,000 sq. ft. distribution centre
