Realterm has announced the latest expansion of its global transportation logistics real estate platform with the acquisition of the Airfreight Logistics Centre (“the Centre”), encompassing five Class-A industrial buildings totaling 502,065 square feet in Calgary, Alberta.
The Centre is situated on land leased from the Calgary Airport Authority, directly adjacent to the airfield at the Calgary International Airport (YYC), the fourth busiest airport in Canada which handles 75% of Alberta’s air cargo shipments.
The Centre, which includes a mix of small and mid-bay facilities, is uniquely positioned to cater to the needs of airport operators and boasts high-functionality attributes including a total of 159 loading doors and direct access to the airfield. The properties are currently 100% leased with a diverse tenant mix.
