Transformation
- Investor: Business EQ
- Partner: HOPA
The BMI Group, in partnership with the Hamilton-Oshawa Port Authority (HOPA), has successfully launched Niagara Ports at Bioveld (the Thorold Multimodal Hub). Together they have transformed legacy industrial facilities into a thriving home to over 25 businesses. This revitalization earned them a 2023 'Brownie' Brownfield Redevelopment Award. With extensive expertise in managing and leasing industrial space, HOPA continues to "create and lead an integrated port network on the Great Lakes," operating key marine and port assets in Hamilton, Oshawa, and Niagara.
Integrated Networks
“This investment in Niagara by the BMI Group and HOPA Ports is a significant step towards a more efficient and integrated network of marine facilities in Ontario. “As Ontario positions itself for an economic recovery, and as the province’s population and congestion issues grow, it just makes sense for us to be making better use of Ontario’s industrial and multimodal transportation capacity,”
Ian Hamilton, President & CEO of HOPA Ports.
