Origin
Summary
Oxford Industrial is one of Canada's foremost developers and leasers of industrial and warehouse space. They acquired a vacant industrially-zoned site at the northeast corner of Morningside Avenue and Neilson Road, with the intent of building a 335,000 sq. ft. logistics centre which they will lease to up to 4 different companies in the growing logistics industry.
Their site Plan Application is close to approval. The primary entrance will be on Morningside, approximately 250 meters north of the Neilson intersection. Oxford proposes to install, at their cost, a full signalized intersection to facilitate the movement of trucks in and out of their site. This will be approximately half way between the existing signals at Neilson and McNicoll Avenue. City Planning and Transportation Services are fully supportive of this plan, as the signal will also provide a safe crossing of this busy thoroughfare for residents in the neighbourhood to the east, in Ward 25.
