One95 Business Park

Summarize the project's program, features and achievements?

One95 Business Park is a modern small-bay industrial development situated at the easternmost edge of Surrey’s dynamic Campbell Heights Business Park. The project spans 75,102 square feet across two buildings, offering 19 highly functional units designed to meet the growing demand for flexible industrial space in the region. Strategically located at 3438 195 Street and 19476 34A Avenue, One95 is surrounded by major transportation corridors, making it an attractive option for a diverse range of businesses seeking efficiency and connectivity.

A standout achievement of this project was the remarkable speed and precision of the tilt-up construction. Building A, comprising 36 panels, was successfully tilted in a single day—a feat that underscores the expertise, coordination, and craftsmanship of the project team. Building B, with 52 panels, was completed in just 2.5 days. These accelerated timelines demonstrate not only the proficiency of Orion Construction’s build team but also the exceptional level of planning and collaboration involved.

Each unit within One95 features mezzanine space, generous ceiling heights, and large-grade loading doors, ensuring optimal functionality for tenants. The layout accommodates a variety of light industrial uses, supporting businesses with evolving operational needs. This flexibility is further demonstrated by the project team’s responsiveness to client requests. In one instance, a purchaser acquired two adjacent units and requested the removal of the demising wall. The team seamlessly integrated this customization, reinforcing One95’s client-first approach and the adaptable nature of its design. The two buildings measure 31,014 and 44,089 square feet respectively and were developed with durable, efficient materials, including tilt-up concrete sandwich panels for improved thermal performance and energy efficiency. These panels not only streamline construction and enhance the structural integrity of the buildings but also support sustainable operation over the building’s lifecycle.

One95 Business Park represents a strong addition to the Campbell Heights area, further enhancing its reputation as a premier industrial district. The project balances rapid delivery with high-quality construction and tenant adaptability—making it a model for modern, efficient small-bay development.

What obstacles were overcome related to the schedule, budget, program, specification, site, etc. on this project?

The development of One95 Business Park presented a series of unique logistical and coordination challenges that required agile problem-solving and close collaboration across project teams. One of the primary complexities was managing the construction sequencing of the two buildings to optimize productivity across trades. By carefully offsetting Buildings A and B schedules, the team ensured a seamless transition between work areas, allowing crews to move efficiently from one phase to the next without significant downtime. This strategy helped maintain project momentum and maximize trade efficiency throughout the build.

Utility delays also impacted the construction timeline, particularly with the delivery of power infrastructure. The team mitigated this challenge through proactive coordination and interim workarounds that allowed progress to continue in other areas while awaiting Hydro service, ensuring the broader schedule remained intact. In addition, the project team navigated a significant mid-project design change, which required the temporary removal of multiple demising walls within the building envelope. Though this adjustment paused certain scopes of work, it was undertaken to accommodate evolving end-user needs and reinforce the space's flexibility. Several months later, plans shifted again, and the walls were reinstated. The team responded quickly and professionally to these shifting requirements, demonstrating a commitment to client satisfaction and adaptability without compromising the construction timeline or quality. These obstacles were met with a solution-oriented mindset prioritizing efficiency, responsiveness, and high standards, further reinforcing One95’s success as a flexible, tenant-driven industrial development.

Please communicate any engineering complexities or unique features of the panel design for this project?

One95 Business Park presented several behind-the-scenes engineering achievements that underscore the project’s technical sophistication, despite its clean, streamlined appearance. A standout accomplishment was the rapid, precisely executed panel tilt-up schedule, particularly for Building A, which was fully erected in a single day. This rare feat required extensive pre-planning, precise coordination across structural and crane teams, and highly detailed bracing and lift engineering. With 88 panels total between the two buildings, the success of this accelerated installation speaks to the rigour and efficiency of the construction planning process.

The project utilized composite sandwich panels, which served dual functions—delivering structural integrity and superior thermal performance. Their integration contributed to the development’s overall energy efficiency while reducing the need for additional insulating layers or finishes. These panels were customized with clean reveal patterns to enhance architectural appeal while maintaining industrial durability. Another complexity stemmed from the building’s adaptability. With tenants requesting layout modifications during and post-construction—including combining units and reconfiguring internal demising walls—engineers had to ensure that the structural design could flex to accommodate evolving occupier needs without compromising building performance. This foresight in planning allowed for non-disruptive reconfigurations, aligning the design with market demand for flexible industrial strata space. Together, these features showcase the project’s thoughtful integration of speed, resilience, and adaptability, defining One95 not just as a well-located industrial development but also as a technically astute and future-ready facility.
