I can't see any of the large courier companies building something like that in Ottawa. This is a sort hub type of place, not a delivery depot, and UPS has a pretty large hub in Montreal. Purolator is building a new facility in the near future but it's certainly not something like this, and it's supposed to be out in Kanata.
This has Amazon written all over it to me. They have been opening a lot of their own delivery depots (2 are opening in London this year a couple blocks apart, each of which are double the size of the local Purolator or UPS depots), as well as Kitchener, Cambridge and around Toronto, and I wouldn't be shocked if this was a sort hub to service those from the 2 Ottawa distribution centres. Possibly handle Ottawa region deliveries as well. Weird location for that though.
