Temperature-controlled industrial REIT and integrated solutions provider Lineage is announcing the groundbreaking of an expansion of its Foothills facility in Calgary, Canada, in an effort to meet the growing needs of Lineage’s customers in the market. The strategically located facility is expected to serve as a center of excellence for customers who aim to export meat and other products to Asia and other markets around the world.
Expected to add 30% more capacity, the expansion is anticipated to include 1,500 pallet positions for blast freezing, a critical feature for the export of products like protein. Additionally, the Foothills site is expected to feature expanded dock space and doors and be close in proximity to Lineage's local transportation hub, as well as intermodal rail facilities for efficient movement of containers to and from major Western ports.
