WHAT OUR CLIENTS THINK
"In the early 2010, as part of McKesson Canada, we began looking at warehousing and distribution solutions to meet the needs of our expanding business. At the time we had two locations, Halifax and Moncton both of which were “bursting at the seams” and not meeting our current needs. It was at this time that we began a search for a group to build us a new warehousing facility. We made the decision to partner with First Mutual Properties and build a new 178,000 sq ft property in Moncton. It was a major endeavour and I found the management and staff very hands on and a pleasure to work with throughout the building and planning process.
​
Thanks to First Mutual Properties, McKesson Canada now has a state of the art facility in Moncton."
