Construction work began Wednesday on the Kingsway Employment District business park in Sudbury, Ontario [1].
The project represents a significant shift for the region's industrial landscape, as it aims to attract major corporate partners and stimulate local economic growth.
Developer Dario Zulich said work started on May 6, 2026 [1]. The project occupies a 180-acre site in the city's east end [1], [2]. The development follows a 15-year delay that had previously stalled the project's progress [1].
Zulich said the site is now prepared for development and intended to attract partners such as Waste Management and Gateway Casino [1], [2]. The developer has signed a deal with a constructor to move the proposed business park forward [2].
"The 180-acre east-end site is poised for growth," Zulich said [1].
The project focuses on creating a concentrated hub for employment and commerce in Sudbury. By transforming the large plot of land into a structured employment district, the developer intends to provide the necessary infrastructure to support large-scale commercial operations, a move that has been anticipated by the community for over a decade.
“The 180-acre east-end site is poised for growth.”
The commencement of work on the Kingsway Employment District marks the end of a long-term period of stagnation for one of Sudbury's largest potential commercial assets. By securing a constructor and targeting high-profile tenants like Gateway Casino and Waste Management, the project moves from a theoretical plan to a physical economic driver that could redefine the east end's industrial capacity.
