Kamloops, B.C.- Comet Industries Ltd. (Comet) is pleased to share the latest progress on Iron Mask Industrial Park, a light industrial park aimed at supporting growth and opportunity in Kamloops’ industrial sector.
As part of the next phase of development, Comet Industries has awarded the earthworks contract to Extreme Excavating, a trusted Kamloops-based, family-run company with decades of reliable and proven experience. The civil construction company previously delivered exceptional results during the initial earthworks for Phase 1a. It will now lead the final round of site preparation activities for this phase, which is scheduled to begin today. The scope of work will include blasting, clearing, grading, and preparing the site for future servicing and development.
“Extreme Excavating did fantastic work in the early stages of the Iron Mask Industrial Park project, and we’re confident in their ability to deliver once again in these next phases,” said Mike O’Reilly, President and CEO of Comet.
Iron Mask Industrial Park is being developed in phases to align with market demand and support a thoughtful, long-term build-out strategy. The current rollout includes:
Phase 1a: 7 parcels of land, totaling 17.71 acres
Lot 6 | 2.99 acres | Lot 19 | 1.41 acres |
Lot 7 | 1.86 acres | Lot 23 | 5.15 acres |
Lot 8 | 1.05 acres | Lot 22 | 3.87 acres |
Lot 18 | 1.38 acres |
|
Phase 1b: 5 parcels of land, totaling 12.2 acres
Lot 3 | 3.26 acres | Lot 9 | 1.09 acres |
Lot 4 | 2.94 acres | Lot 20 | 2.29 acres |
Lot 5 | 2.62 acres |
|
Phase 1c: 10 parcels of land, totaling 22.07 acres
Lot 1 | 5.30 acres | Lot 13 | 1 acre |
Lot 2 | 4.37 acres | Lot 12 | 1 acre |
Lot 16 | 2.06 acres | Lot 11 | 1.25 acres |
Lot 15 | 1 acre | Lot 10 | 1.43 acres |
Lot 14 | 1 acre | Lot 21 | 3.66 acres |
Together, these 22 lots represent the foundation of the larger plan that will see up to 57 lots delivered across the entire industrial park project. The phased release approach ensures flexibility, responsiveness to business needs, and a clear path to successful absorption.
Designed for businesses in distribution, logistics, manufacturing, and the service sector, Iron Mask Industrial Park offers strategically located, fully serviced lots that will meet the needs of growing companies and new entrants alike.
Sales of the fee simple lots for Phase 1a are anticipated to roll out in Q3 of 2025, with lot registration expected in Q4 2025, following final Provincial approvals. All timelines are subject to government approval.
“With the first seven lots nearing completion, we’re reaching a defining moment for Iron Mask Industrial Park,” added O’Reilly. “This project is about more than just land - it’s about creating space for local businesses to expand and to welcome new enterprises into Kamloops. It’s a forward-looking investment in our local economy.”
Iron Mask Industrial Park represents a significant opportunity to strengthen the region’s industrial base, offering fully serviced land in a prime location with access to major transportation corridors. More updates will be provided as the project advances through 2025.
