CentrePort Canada Inc. is seeking proposals to develop the CentrePort Canada Rail Park. The development partner’s role includes �nancing the initial and phased-in construction of the rail, road and utility infrastructure.

The Rail Park is expected to be a di�erentiating facility for CentrePort by combining industrial space with logistics infrastructure and services to attract rail intensive companies.

Given the size of the project, CentrePort anticipates that the Rail Park will be constructed in at least two phases. Phase One could be developed into two phases. Phase One A is the construction of leads, switches and dispatch track and Phase One B includes the common-use rail facility and the industrial use development clustered around it. Phase Two is situated south of Omand’s Creek and will be connected to Phase One by rail and road infrastructure. It is well-suited for larger industrial clients requiring on-site rail spurs and switching services.

FULL STEAM AHEAD FOR MANITOBACentrePort is a key driver of Manitoba’s economic growth and job creation, and it is the largest economic development project in the province. According to the Manitoba Bureau of Statistics forecasts, the construction impacts alone of the full-build out of CentrePort Canada Rail Park total:

6,480 person years of employment

$183 million tax revenues

$526 million impact on Manitoba’s GDP

800+ companies are located within CentrePort, many of whom are regional or global shippers. Key industries on site include agribusiness/food processing, transportation/logistics, advanced manufacturing, and e-commerce ful�llment.

There are a number of developers who have successfully brought industrial projects to market since inception, including Crystal Developers and Olexa Developments. Demand is high: over 1,200 acres have been sold or conditionally sold at CentrePort over the past 12 months.

Situated at the geographic centre of North America , CentrePort Canada is a key transportation hub for major continental transportation corridors that connect to global trade routes. These include access by rail and road infrastructure to the Asia-Paci�c Gateway via the Ports of Vancouver and Prince Rupert. Direct access also exists to the Mid-Continent Trade and Transportation Corridor via I-29 to Kansas City and Texas as well as points in between, and via rail to the ports of New Orleans, Houston, Las Cardenas and Manzanillo.
