IRON MASK INDUSTRIAL PARK PREPARES FOR THE NEXT PHASE OF DEVELOPMENT
Comet Industries Ltd. has shared the latest progress on the Iron Mask
industrial park, a light industrial park aimed at supporting growth and opportunity in Kamloops's industrial
sector.
As part of the next phase of development, Comet Industries has awarded the earthworks contract to
Extreme Excavating, a trusted Kamloops-based family-run company with decades of reliable and proven
experience. The civil construction company previously delivered exceptional results during the initial
earthworks for phase 1a. It will lead the final round of site preparation activities for this phase, which
is scheduled to begin today. The scope of work will include blasting, clearing, grading and preparing the
site for future servicing and development.
"Extreme Excavating did fantastic work in the early stages of the Iron Mask industrial park project, and
we're confident in their ability to deliver once again in these next phases," said Mike O'Reilly, president
and chief executive officer of Comet.
The Iron Mask industrial park is being developed in phases to align with market demand and support a
thoughtful, long-term buildout strategy. The current rollout includes the following.
Together, these 22 lots represent the foundation of the larger plan that will see up to 57 lots delivered
across the entire industrial park project. The phased release approach ensures flexibility, responsiveness
to business needs and a clear path to successful absorption.
Designed for businesses in distribution, logistics, manufacturing and the service sector, the Iron Mask industrial park offers strategically located, fully serviced lots that will meet the needs of growing
companies and new entrants alike.
Sales of the fee simple lots for phase 1a are anticipated to roll out in third quarter of 2025, with lot registration
expected in fourth quarter 2025, following final provincial approvals. All timelines are subject to government approval.
"With the first seven lots nearing completion, we're reaching a defining moment for Iron Mask industrial
park," added Mr. O'Reilly. "This project is about more than just land. It's about creating space for local
businesses to expand and to welcome new enterprises into Kamloops. It's a forward-looking investment
in our local economy."
The
Iron Mask industrial park represents a significant opportunity to strengthen the region's industrial base,
offering fully serviced land in a prime location with access to major transportation corridors. More updates
will be provided as the project advances through 2025.
