AUGUST 2020 - Walmart Canada and Condor Properties have broken ground on a new state-of-the-art distribution centre in Vaughan. Ontario Premier Doug Ford and company dignitaries gathered on August 12th to mark the official start of construction. The site is one of two new distribution centres and part of the retailer’s five-year, $3.5 billion spending initiative. This is an exciting time for Walmart Canada and our customers across the country. Our new distribution centre is going to be a world-class facility, which will help us grow and make our business better and simpler for our customers,” said Horacio Barbeito, President and CEO, Walmart Canada. “These are challenging times for everyone, but we are investing for growth because we believe in Ontario and Canada’s future and are proud to do business in this great country. Located just north of Toronto at Jane Street and Teston Road, Walmart’s newest facility is 550,000 square feet and will handle general merchandise and food products. The distribution centre will hold more than 70 million cases of Canadians’ favourite products from more than 3,000 suppliers – the highest volume of any Walmart facility in the country. The distribution centre will create hundreds of construction jobs and be fully operational by 2024.We are honoured to work with Walmart Canada to build a next-generation distribution centre that will set a new industry standard,” said Angelo De Gasperis, Founder and Principal, Condor Properties. “This project is a big undertaking, but also a shining example of teamwork, commitment and a solution-driven approach. We are excited about the opportunities this distribution centre will bring to the community, and we wish to acknowledge the efforts of the City of Vaughan, the Regional Municipality of York and the Province of Ontario for their support in making our shared vision a reality.
