Holy smokes, that warehouse has gone up in like a year. August 2023 streetview looks like this:
Not much is needed to build warehouse as they only need a grade beam around the building with anchor bolt for the steel columns along with footings for the interior columns. Doesn't take long to erect the steelwork for it follow by the roof decking and then the siding. The rest is interior work which is not much, other than the office area.Holy smokes, that warehouse has gone up in like a year. August 2023 streetview looks like this:

Yep, I've done industrial and while it is a much quicker build, 1 year from site prep to enclosed with landscaping is insanely quick, even if it is just OSWJ.Not much is needed to build warehouse as they only need a grade beam around the building with anchor bolt for the steel columns along with footings for the interior columns.

Another miss opportune to have a rail siding to this build to help to reduce truck traffic and would require CN dropping cars off or picking them up at night after GO close for the day.

The gist is a steel frame building using truss and columns and generally distributing weight from the roof to columns (load bearing)
I used to drive down Burloak twice a week, and one time I was looking going "what the hell am I looking at here?" well turns out a huge portion of the steel frame had gone up in a matter of days.Holy smokes, that warehouse has gone up in like a year. August 2023 streetview looks like this:

I note that they removed the blog post indicating such (original link)... So perhaps some communication will come soon.
Oh... I already asked (email)...No harm in asking them. Don't put in too much effort, message them on FB
