Commercial
Grande Prairie is the Peace Region’s core for people seeking a first-class retail experience. Much of the local and surrounding population is young, high-earning, and enjoys higher-than-average disposable incomes. Retail spending by Grande Prairie residents is more than $1 billion, with the total trade area spending more than $3.8 billion. Major national and multi-national anchor retailers like Costco, Best Buy, Winners, McDonald’s, Walmart, Home Depot and many more have recognized Grande Prairie’s retail potential as well, and can be found next door to Westgate Business Park.
Westgate Business Park has been developed to the highest standards, with wide roads and sidewalks for ease of walkability. Our tenants have all found value in the business park’s location, first-class amenities, and Wexford Development’s build-to-suit, professional project management.
Westgate Business Park is ideally located on Highway 43 and 116 Street on Grande Prairie’s west side. Situated at the centre of the Peace County Region and minutes away from the Grande Prairie Airport, Westgate Business Park lies near a convergence of all major traffic routes in and out of the city.
