Toyota Canada Inc. has announced plans to build three new facilities in Canada: a new head-office building in Toronto and two parts distribution centres in Surrey, British Columbia and Calgary, Alberta.

The company says the $300-million move is part of its commitment to innovation, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth in Canada’s automotive and logistics sectors.

“This investment is part of Toyota’s ongoing commitment to Canada, creating spaces and operations that improve how we support our dealers and customers, encourage collaboration and enable continued growth across our business,” said Cyril Dimitris, president and CEO of Toyota Canada.

The company’s plan calls for construction of a 225,000-square-foot head office in Toronto. Located at 1 Toyota Place, the building will consolidate multiple divisions – including sales, marketing, distribution, service, and training – into a single workspace. Toyota Credit Canada Inc. will also relocate from Markham to the new facility.

A new British Columbia Parts Distribution Centre in Surrey will span approximately 210,000 square feet in South Campbell Heights. Meanwhile, the Alberta Parts Distribution Centre in Calgary will feature 220,000 square feet of operational space on a 13.5-acre site near the Calgary International Airport and key highway networks.

Toyota says the new facilities will triple its parts distribution capacity in Western Canada, and significantly reduce delivery times and improve service levels for dealerships across British Columbia, Alberta and Saskatchewan.

All three facilities are being designed to achieve LEED Gold certification and meet Net Zero Carbon Building – Design standards. The buildings will also be designed to meet the “Gold” standard under the Rick Hansen Foundation Accessibility Certification program to meet Toyota’s commitment to inclusivity and universal accessibility.

Construction is expected to take place over the next three years, with distribution centres scheduled to begin operations in 2028.
