Pure Industrial executives David Owen and Jonathan Rovira join hosts Jean-Marc Dubé and Arnold Fox, of Colliers, to discuss the company’s growth in Canada.
Pure has expanded from 26 million to 43 million square feet of owned industrial space across the country amid a dynamic market landscape.

The conversation also covers:
- the impacts of lower interest rates on the market and the potential for an industrial real estate upswing;
- the challenges of maintaining and upgrading older facilities within a growing portfolio;
- the benefits of a customer-centric approach to sustainability initiatives including free energy audits for tenants; and
