Prologis is now leasing the first mass timber warehouse in North America.

The first mass timber warehouse in North America was recently made available for lease in Brampton, Ontario, marking a notable milestone for sustainability in industrial development. Developed by Prologis, the 246,000 square-foot facility was built using mass timber construction, and is designed to achieve a 47% carbon reduction and offset more than 1,000 metric tons of carbon dioxide, a significant advancement compared to traditional building materials.

On the province level, as Ontario advances its Advanced Wood Construction Action Plan, Brampton has sought to take the lead, aligning with provincial goals and reinforcing the city’s reputation for climate conscious industrial growth.

Located within Brampton’s logistics and advanced manufacturing corridor, the new mass timber warehouse features: 35 shipping docks, 210 parking spaces, and 12 EV charging stations; close proximity to Lululemon’s 1 million+-square-foot facility and Pet Valu’s 670,000-square-foot distribution center; and connectivity to Highways 427, 407, 410, Pearson International Airport, and key intermodal hubs. The facility has the potential to create 200 to 400 jobs, drawing upon Brampton’s skilled, diverse workforce.
