Commercial Financing Across Central & Northern Nova Scotia

The region's economy

Truro is the Hub of Nova Scotia, sitting at the junction of Highways 102 and 104 and the centre of the province's rail corridor — a natural distribution and manufacturing centre. Pictou County is one of Atlantic Canada's industrial anchors: the Michelin plant in Granton employs over 4,300 people, and Sobeys is headquartered in nearby Stellarton, with New Glasgow as the county's retail centre. Antigonish is a service centre anchored by St. Francis Xavier University and St. Martha's Regional Hospital, and Amherst sits at the New Brunswick border as a highway-commercial and distribution point.

How financing tends to structure here

Industrial, distribution, and manufacturing-adjacent property is sized on lease, tenant covenant, and income; owner-occupied premises on the operating business; student and multi-unit rental (strong around Antigonish) can suit CMHC MLI Select. We place each file with the right lender for the asset.

Who finances industrial and distribution property in Truro and Pictou County?

Industrial, warehouse, and distribution property is financed through conventional commercial lenders, with the loan sized on the property's income, lease term, and tenant covenant. We shop the whole market and structure to clear DSCR and loan-to-value.

Do you finance student rental near St. Francis Xavier University in Antigonish?

Yes. Purpose-built and multi-unit student rental is financeable conventionally or, for 5+ unit projects, through CMHC MLI Select — student-driven demand makes Antigonish a steady multi-unit market.
