Broken ground on the Kamloops Industrial Park

KAMLOOPS, BC – Kamloops’ newest light industrial park has broken ground.

Comet Industries Ltd. has commemorated the start of construction of the Iron Mask Industrial Park, which will rise on a 190-acre parcel of land.

“Over the past decade, we’ve listened carefully to feedback from our community. It has become increasingly clear that there is significant demand from Kamloops business owners to expand and new businesses looking to put down roots in Kamloops,” said Comet President and CEO Mike O’Reilly , in a statement. “What we are initiating today with this breakthrough is a response to that – a meticulously planned project to meet these diverse needs of light industry.”

Both Cushman and Wakefield and Brendan Shaw Real Estate joined the project as the real estate sales team, O’Reilly said.

“For many years in Kamloops, there has been a huge demand for light industrial land and built-out space to match, with exceptional access to major transportation corridors. It’s exciting to see this new light industrial park built in Kamloops, marking a significant step forward in further strengthening our economy, providing space for businesses to grow,” added Blake Gozda, Cushman and Wakefield vice president of industrial.

A survey was also launched to gather input from prospective tenants and stakeholders in the region.
