REAL ESTATE & DEVELOPMENT

Over a 16-year period, Velocity 1 has assembled Ontarios largest contiguous employment land parcel near the U.S. border in Fort Erie. This extensive property spans over 15 million square feet of industrial land, strategically located near servicing infrastructure, upgraded highway interchanges, and a significant renewable energy source providing 130MW at a 70% load factor. Designated as one of Niagara Region’s signature industrial sites, it is currently under active discussions with the Ministry of Economic Development, Job Creation, and Trade to attract global manufacturing clients seeking well-positioned, connected lands minutes away from a major border with the United States.

Evaluating real estate opportunities is a complex process that requires extensive due diligence and multi-layered assessments, including approvals from varying levels of government. This includes navigating through a rigorous public process addressing environmental, servicing, and agricultural concerns. While these challenges may seem daunting, they offer a significant advantage to those with the expertise and perseverance to successfully complete such approval processes. The result is knowing if you are pursuing a costly endeavour versus engaging in an exercise that will yield a high-value opportunity. With decades of experience converting over 570 acres of rural land into prime employment hubs, Velocity 1 has mastered the art of unlocking land value, both pre- and post-development. This expertise is particularly valuable during periods of slow growth and economic uncertainty, where controlling development costs is critical. As seasoned land investors, we strategically maximize returns through each stage of development, ensuring we deliver optimal value from site selection to post-development.
