The Bio-Industrial Park Sarnia is a fully serviced industrial site located on the bank of the St. Clair River offering brownfield and greenfield development opportunities. Located in the heart of the Sarnia-Lambton Energy & Chemistry Cluster, the park has opportunities ranging from 3-acres to 27-acres ideal for large-scale heavy industrial uses such as chemical or biochemical production and utility intensive manufacturing. The anchor tenant and owner, ARLANXEO, can provide access to extensive shared services and utility capabilities.
Access to existing infrastructure, including steam lines, water lines, wastewater lines, pipe acks, natural gas and other utility services are located throughout the site. Utility services generally run along the shoulder of the roadways and existing roads separate the site into various parcels. The Park’s western boundary is the St. Clair River, with a deep-water dock facility that provides access, through the St. Lawrence Seaway, to ships on the Great Lakes system and international oceanic cargo. The site is also serviced with rail service from CSX rail and inter switch to CN Rail which connect to markets in Canada and the U.S. via the St. Clair Rail Tunnel.
The land can be subdivided according to the tenant’s requirements, or existing parcels can be joined to create larger lots where necessary.
Bio-Industrial Park Sarnia is located at 1265 Vidal St S, Sarnia, ON N7T7Y2
