Strathcona County’s Plan has been approved for a new city located to the East of Cambrian Industrial Park

The city of Edmonton has lost its year-long fight against a development plan for Strathcona County that includes proposals for a new urban centre. The municipal development plan would see a city with apartments and pedestrian-friendly streets built on farmland east of Highway 21 and north of the Yellowhead Highway, which is immediately opposite the lands currently being developed by Cambrian for a 725-acre industrial park.

This "urban node" could eventually have a population of 200,000 people, many working at the nearby Industrial Heartland's oil upgraders, after Sherwood Park reaches its growth limit in less than a decade.

Cambrian Projects releases Cambrian Strathcona IV LP

(June 30, 2008, Sherwood Park, Alberta) - A fourth and final section has been added to the land assembly that will make up Cambrian Industrial Park. Cambrian Strathcona IV LP represents the final opportunity for investors to participate near the tail end of the entire development project, at a time when the scope of inherent uncertainties has been narrowed.

Work to obtain approval from Strathcona County is nearly complete, and once an approved Area Structure Plan is in place, the lands should be ready to be marketed for sale in late 2008 or early 2009.

Cambrian Industrial Park involves four contiguous sections of land. Cambrian began this project in 2006 with Cambrian Strathcona I LP (152 acres), and then added Cambrian Strathcona II LP (149 acres) and Cambrian Strathcona III. Funds raised using second mortgage loans on these properties were used to pay for the shared development fees and expenses of developing an Area Structure Plan for the area encompassing four sections, including the 156 acres of Cambrian Strathcona IV LP.

Demand for industrial land, both serviced and unserviced, has been increasing in the Edmonton area.

The chief risk at this point lies in the ordinary fact that the assembled properties, once the ASP has been approved, must be marketed and sold to an as yet unknown buyer at a price yet to be determined. This will be a relatively large land purchase, and although quite reasonable to expect a sale to take place in 2009, there is no way to predict precisely when it will happen.

The projected sale price per acre is $150,000, which the general partner bases on current comparable land sales in the vicinity. Based on that net sale price, the projected profit to investors in Cambrian Strathcona IV LP is 52 percent.

Progress of Cambrian Strathcona II (October 15, 2007, Sherwood Park, AB) – Area Structure Plan

Don Rumpel, VP of Cambrian Projects Inc., reports that he and the consulting engineer have formally presented the proposed Area Structure Plan for the Cambrian Strathcona project to the Strathcona County council, and that it was favourably received. The province is planning a new interchange at Highway 21, just north of our site, for Edmonton’s new ring road. Much of the discussion pertained to the need to develop the details of access at the north of the our site, along with the site owned by Cambrian Strathcona I, as this relates to the new interchange. While these details will need to be developed in concert with determination by the province of specifics of the route for the ring road and the precise location of the highway interchange, Cambrian is continuing on course with development of the Area Structure Plan as a whole.

Cambrian Strathcona Report: Draft Area Structure Plan ready for submission to Strathcona County October, 2007
Excerpted from reporting letter to Limited Partners of Cambrian Strathcona Limited Partnership and Cambrian Strathcona II Limited Partnership, dated June 21, 2007

“Economic activity in and around greater Edmonton continues at a record setting pace. There is rarely a day that goes by without another major announcement regarding industrial activity. Most of this industrial activity is focused to the east of Edmonton in Strathcona and Sturgeon Counties in the area collectively referred to as the "Industrial Heartland".

Both Strathcona Limited Partnerships are well positioned to take advantage of the strong demand for light and medium industrial land. We remain confident that our strategy of adding value to the properties by developing an Area Structure Plan is the best course of action. We have engaged the following consultants in this regard:
- Focus Corporation has been selected as our lead contractor and will be responsible for the overall development of the Area Structure Plan.
- J.R. Paine & Associates Ltd. will be providing our geotechnical consulting and has already completed initial geotechnical drilling on site.
- Spencer Environmental Management Services Ltd. is currently active in the field and will be responsible for all aspects of environmental input into the Area Structure Plan.
- Bunt & Associates have been selected as our transportation consultants and will work closely with both Focus Corporation and Strathcona County to address transportation and access requirements.
In late May, representatives from Focus, J.R. Paine, Spencer Environmental and the General Partner, met on site with representatives from Strathcona County to begin the process of establishing the survey for the Oldman Creek that runs through the Cambrian Strathcona lands [Oldman Creek does not run through the parcel owned by Cambrian Strathcona II LP]. This creek survey will establish not only the environmental reserve requirements, but will also provide a logical delineation between the light and medium industrial parcels of land.

Work by all of our consultants is expected to continue throughout the summer and Focus Corporation is expecting to incorporate all of the various components and have a draft Area Structure Plan ready for submission to Strathcona County by early October, 2007.

We will continue to keep you informed of our progress and expect to provide you with an update once we are ready to submit our Area Structure Plan.”
