Work completed on DSV Canada office
Construction is substantially complete on a 102,000-square metre head office and logistics facility for global transport and logistics firm DSV Canada.
Architect of record Ware Malcomb worked alongside design architect AK83 from Denmark and Mississauga’s Leeswood Construction to complete construction of the facility in slightly more than two years.
The new complex, which is located on Fifth Line in Milton, is the largest facility of its kind in the DSV-Global Transport and Logistics worldwide network. The building includes a multi-client warehouse and distribution centre with state-of-the-art logistics capabilities and temperature-controlled compartments and cooler areas. An attached three-storey corporate office includes more than 4,400 square meters of office space, and room for the company’s 800 employees.
“The largest facility of its kind in the DSV network worldwide (across over 80 countries), the new facility in Milton showcases our commitment to our customers and the future of DSV in Canada," said managing director Martin Roos.
The project is seeking LEED Silver Certification from the Canada Green Building Council.
“We worked closely with DSV to ensure that this new facility would seamlessly integrate DSV’s three divisions under one roof,” said Frank Di Roma, principal of Ware Malcomb’s Canada offices. “All aspects of the design focused on innovation and collaboration in order to better serve DSV’s customers and position the company for a limitless future in Canada.”
"DSV had a clear vision from the start, and Leeswood is proud to be the contractor of choice for DSV's industry leading facility,” said Pat Spanjers, partner at Leeswood Construction.
