Sophie van Oosterom, managing director and head of real estate at CPP Investments, says the Canadian industrial sector continues to demonstrate resilient demand and meaningful long-term growth drivers, supported by a structurally high need for well-located space as supply chains and logistics continue to evolve.

CPP Investments has allocated $1 billion in equity capital to the partnership for a 90 per cent stake in the joint venture.

Dream Industrial has contributed $100 million for a 10 per cent stake.
