The Greenhouse
We are planning to build a freestanding 40’ × 72’ (2880 ft2) gothic-arch greenhouse. It will be built on a concrete perimeter foundation and will include a full engineered, stamped structural package to meet applicable code and safety requirements.
Greenhouse Design
This greenhouse is a standard design that is seen all across the province in agricultural operations.
Cannabis Cultivation
While we have chosen cannabis as our crop, it is important to note that the structure can be used to grow a variety of other crops in the future.
Environmental Considerations
By utilizing the sun we will be significantly more sustainable than most other cannabis facilities which are entirely ‘indoor’ operations.
A Greenhouse, not a Warehouse
Our project is fundamentally different from what people tend to associate with the cannabis industry. Many operations are built as warehouse-style industrial facilities that require large paved areas and permanent, single-purpose infrastructure. That model can effectively convert farmland into an industrial site and reduces the land’s ability to stay in flexible agricultural production over time.
​
Ours is a greenhouse, not a warehouse. The structure is a greenhouse by design, and the intent is to keep the site functioning as farmland rather than converting it into an industrial-style development. Just as importantly, the facility is crop-flexible: the same greenhouse shell can be used for a wide range of agricultural crops in the future, without being locked into one use. That flexibility matters for long-term resilience. If markets change, the site can continue to support agriculture rather than becoming a stranded, single-purpose building.
