Site Feature - RF Industrial 21.0 Laval

In this episode of the Rosefellow Podcast, Mike Jager sits down with longtime friend and top Colliers broker Marc Dubé to discuss one of Rosefellow’s most ambitious projects to date: the transformation of a 1.25 million sq. ft. retail center in Laval into a next-generation industrial campus. Mike and Marc take us behind the scenes of the acquisition—how Rosefellow secured the site after initially being passed over, the complex due diligence process, and why this location on Highway 13 is quickly becoming the most sought-after industrial address in the Greater Montreal area. They dig into the numbers, timelines, and design philosophy behind the project, from building a 400,000 sq. ft. “bomber” spec warehouse to embracing carbon zero and LEED certification as industry standards. The conversation touches on shifting market dynamics, ESG trends, and the growing importance of class A product in today’s industrial real estate landscape—all while highlighting the trust and collaboration that make partnerships like this one thrive.
