Stakeholders recently broke ground on Meadowvale South, a 5.7 ha (14.08 acres) industrial development, located on a busy thoroughfare in Mississauga, with 25,338 m2 (272,739 sf) of built structures.

The developer, CanFirst Capital Management (CanFirst), is working with sustainability consultant INVIRO Engineered Systems (mechanical and electrical engineers) to make this facility Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) gold certified and zero carbon-ready.

Colliers Strategy & Consulting is the development and project manager. Ware Malcomb is the lead architect and Cecchini Group is the construction manager. A team of engineering firms is addressing the numerous elements required in an industrial development, including Counterpoint as civil/structural engineer, Gravity Engineering as structural engineer, Pinchin Ltd. as geotechnical and environment engineer, and TMIG as transportation engineer. Leasing is handled by CBRE.

Located at the busy 6525 Mississauga Road, at the intersection of Erin Mills Parkway and Mississauga Road, the site was previously an office campus and is now being demolished. Among the many innovative features at Meadowvale South will be a 12.2-m (40-ft) clear building height, 42 dock-level doors, two grade-level doors, 15.2 m (50 ft)-wide by 16.5 m (54 ft)-deep bays, plus an 18.3-m (60-ft) staging bay. There will be parking for 226 cars, 12 of which will accommodate electric vehicle (EV) charging, as well as a 37 trailer parking stalls. Occupancy is slated for fall 2024.
