Lordco Auto Parts to build its new distribution facility in Port Coquitlam
Lordco Auto Parts will build a new head office, warehouse and distribution facility in Port Coquitlam.
Committee of council approved the plans for Conwest Group to construct the building on 14 acres next to the North Fraser Pre-trial Centre on Kingsway Avenue.
The site was recently consolidated from three industrial parcels for the 377,00-sq. ft. tilt-up concrete facility that, when operating, will employ 237 people.
As part of its bid, Conwest will plant 70 trees on the site in addition to the 190 trees and 7,277 riparian plants previously approved for the company’s watercourse development permit.
As well, to address traffic congestion along Kingsway, Conwest will install electrical ducting for a future traffic signal at Kingsway and Langan Avenue.
