Broccolini has broken ground on the largest fulfillment centre for Amazon in Canada. Using the latest smart and automated technologies, and advanced robotic technology, the centre, to be completed in 2021, will have a capacity of handling over 100 000 packages daily. Located within the CitiGate Corporate Business Park, and with a gross constructed floor area in excess of 2.8 million square feet, it will be the largest fulfillment centre ever built in the country. Broccolini’s expertise in fast-paced construction projects provides confidence that the 14-month construction deadline will be met. The project created 700 construction jobs at construction launch, and Broccolini will also hire technical experts from a wide range of fields to ensure timely project delivery.

“We are excited to once again partner with Amazon and begin construction of this newest fulfillment centre. Following the pandemic, we’ve trained our employees and set new protocols to ensure workers can do their job safely while respecting health guidelines”, said James Beach, Director of Real Estate and Development at Broccolini in Ottawa.
