Stewardship at Scale
At Montrose Properties, sustainability is a core principle of our mission. Through our operations, we’re committed to creating industrial workspaces that benefit both businesses and the communities they’re part of for the future.
From Landfill to Fulfilling Land
As the winner of the Brownie Award for Best Overall Project (2024), the Richmond Industrial Centre is proof that underutilized land can be transformed into a sustainable, impactful economic engine. What was once a landfill site is now being developed into a 179-acre, master-planned industrial centre. This transformation reflects our commitment to environmental stewardship and creating lasting value for the region.

Best Overall Project
Richmond Industrial Centre Development – Richmond, British Columbia
In 2009, Montrose Properties recognized the crucial need for industrial space and developed a vision for the Richmond Industrial Centre – a business park to be located on the site of a construction waste landfill. We took a long-term perspective and invested the time and resources to overcome the challenges of redeveloping the site while continuing to operate the landfill. The first building was constructed more than 10 years later, in 2020, with full build-out expected in 10 to 15 years. This long-term project shows our commitment to investing in much-needed industrial space to generate jobs and contribute to the region’s economic growth.
