The Whole Story:
Canadian real estate developer and builder Broccolini has expanded its operations into Nova Scotia, breaking ground on a large-scale facility for Amazon in the Halifax Regional Municipality.
The project marks the Montreal-based firm’s first development in the province and ranks among the largest industrial builds in its corporate history. Broccolini has been appointed as both developer and general contractor for the build, overseeing all phases of execution from planning through final commissioning.
“Our partnership with Amazon has grown with every project, and this is one of the largest we have taken on,” said James Beach, Executive Vice-President, Real Estate Development, Broccolini. “This is our entry into Nova Scotia, and we are proud to begin here with a client that has trusted us across the country.”
The development extends an ongoing commercial relationship between the two companies dating back to 2018. Over that period, Broccolini has built multiple facilities for Amazon across Canada, ranging from regional cross-dock terminals to automated logistics and distribution centres.
Broccolini’s construction division is managing the build and contracting with local Nova Scotia trades and material suppliers to deliver the facility. To support its regional expansion, the company has joined the Construction Association of Nova Scotia and signaled plans to pursue additional development and construction opportunities across the Atlantic region.
Mario Garippo, President of Construction at Broccolini, noted that the company’s building division has the operational scale, track record, and capacity to deliver large-format industrial projects while contributing to the local construction economy.
