Concert Income Properties has expanded its presence in one of Western Canada’s fastest-growing industrial areas, acquiring the 436,921-square-foot Rockyview Business Park near Calgary.

The park comprises three multi-tenant warehouse and distribution centre buildings in Rocky View County, on the northern border of the City of Calgary. It was developed between 2013 and 2015 by a partnership of Morguard and Verus Partners.

"This acquisition underscores our commitment to investing in strategically located, prime industrial properties that offer both stability and growth potential," Christine Bergeron, the president and CEO of Concert Properties, said in the announcement. "Rockyview Business Park exemplifies the calibre of assets that are integral to our portfolio's success."

Financial details of the transaction were not disclosed.

The property sits on 24.38 acres of prime industrial land and is occupied by a diverse mix of 13 tenants, consisting of international, national and local companies. 

The buildings offer clear ceiling heights ranging from 24 to 28 feet, truck circulation and parking areas, 60 dock loading and 22 grade loading doors. 

It is near major transport arteries including Stoney Trail Ring Road, Trans-Canada Highway, Queen Elizabeth II Highway and the CANAMEX corridor. Tenants can be at the Calgary international airport in 12 minutes and downtown in less than 20 minutes. 

The acquisition grows Concert Income Properties' industrial portfolio in Alberta to approximately 2.5 million square feet of GLA.
