A large industrial campus in Kirkland

A new “high-end” industrial campus will be built in Kirkland in 2023, real estate development and management firm Rosefellow announced Tuesday.

The campus will house three buildings with LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) environmental certification, respecting the city’s sustainability goal.

The project should cover 1.3 million square feet and its cost is estimated at US$300 million. It will be built “at the corner of Highway 40 and Saint-Charles Boulevard” in Kirkland’s industrial area.

The campus will be “on the axis” of the REM and will be easily accessible both by car and by public transport.

Work will begin in spring 2023 and is expected to last a year, Rosefellow’s statement said.

“The bar will be high! […] This high quality industrial campus will attract the most prestigious tenants in the country. We want to thank the city for their trust and, most importantly, for believing in Rosefellow’s vision,” said Mike Jager, co-founder and co-owner of Rosefellow, in a press release.

A screening wall will be erected to ensure the safety and tranquility of local residents.

“We are very pleased to be working with Rosefellow,” said Mr. Michel Gibson, Mayor of Kirkland. […] This prestigious industrial project, endowed with high quality architectural and landscape harmonization, will radiate throughout the region and throughout the province.”
