Phase 1 servicing of the 184-acre park complete and Phase 2 commencing in 2026
Rosser, MB – May 11, 2026 – Keystone Industrial Park (“Keystone”), a major new development by Exemplar Developments (“Exemplar”) at CentrePort Canada (“CentrePort”), is now on the market featuring 184 acres of shovel-ready, fully serviced industrial land. The development at Keystone represents an investment of over $100 million upon completion of Phase 1 with significant future investment in Phase 2 to be announced in late 2026.
Located in the RM of Rosser in CentrePort North, the 184-acre industrial park offers 30 lots, starting at approximately 2.34 acres, and is ideally suited for companies in manufacturing, warehousing and distribution, and transportation and logistics. To date, over 50% of the park is sold or conditionally sold. Twenty acres have been sold to a Canadian company with over 40 locations in North America, 77 acres are under negotiation with various parties, and 5.7 acres are under contract.
“The Keystone Industrial Park development shows the kind of investment and momentum we’re building right here in Manitoba,” said Jamie Moses, Minister of Business, Mining, Trade and Job Creation of Manitoba. “Access to fully serviced, shovel-ready land helps businesses move quickly with certainty, creating the right conditions for investment, growth and good jobs.”
Phase 1 of Keystone infrastructure is complete with fully serviced lots and water, sewer, hydro and paved roads installed. Phase 2 is scheduled to commence in 2026, alongside improvements to Selkirk Avenue and Sturgeon Road, further enhancing transportation access.
“Exemplar Developments is proud to be a contributing partner in CentrePort Canada as we help transform the area into one of the largest economic hubs in Manitoba,” said Jas Kalar, President of Exemplar Developments. “Our developments represent a high standard of industrial and commercial development and will help portray CentrePort Canada as an area where current businesses are proud to be established, and where future businesses will want to be headquartered.”
Keystone is situated across Sturgeon Road from the 41-acre North Crossing Business Park (“North Crossing”), also in development by Exemplar. North Crossing will serve as a complementary offering to Keystone. It is ideally suited for companies in commercial services and the light industrial market.
“We are thrilled to see developers and companies growing in the RM of Rosser,” said Ken Mulligan, Reeve, RM of Rosser. “The RM has worked hard to extend services and support new infrastructure in CentrePort North. We are pleased to see continued development and investment in the area.”
