Low-carbon industrial centre nears completion in Halifax

Sep 18, 2024 | Public | 0 comments

Low-carbon energy building design has been a major focus of a new 400,000-square-foot industrial centre that is nearing completion in Halifax.

The Bayers Lake Industrial Centre will feature a thermally efficient load-bearing tilt-up building system with increased roof insulation and vertical loading docks, a solar PV system, centralized in-floor heating, heat recovery ventilation, and provision for natural light into the warehouse space coupled with efficient sensor-controlled LED lighting.

Once complete, it will be in compliance with the Canada Green Building Council’s Zero Carbon Building Design Standard.

Skyline Industrial REIT, Bayers Lake Industrial Centre’s owner and manager, celebrated the development progress at a ribbon-cutting ceremony last week, with project partners CBRE Atlantic Canada, CIBC, Lindsay Construction, Secure Capital, East Port Properties, and Nicola Institutional Realty Advisors.

“Bayers Lake Industrial Centre represents a milestone for warehouse design,” said David Ogden, founding partner of Secure Capital. “The facility stands as a testament to what can be achieved when sustainability, efficiency, and resilience are at the forefront of the development process.”

The facility is located within one of Atlantic Canada’s largest business parks, next door to several of Halifax’s fastest growing communities and close to the city’s container terminals with transportation links.

“Skyline Industrial REIT sees significant growth potential in the Halifax industrial real estate market and is proud to be delivering efficient, sustainable, first-class industrial space in a city that is integral to Canada’s global trade,” said Mike Bonneveld, president of Skyline Industrial REIT.
