TORONTO, April 5, 2019 /CNW/ - Beleave Inc. (CSE: BE) (OTCQX: BLEVF) ("Beleave" or the "Company") is pleased to announce that it has received a Building Permit and moved forward in the Health Canada Licensing process for its facility in London, Ontario.
In September 2018, Beleave purchased the existing 250,000 sq. ft. greenhouse facility and has since been developing the property. This includes the installation of 10 megawatts of electrical capacity fully serviced by London Hydro, HVAC, equipment, and site engineering exceeding industry standards.
Beleave has invested roughly $8 million in the property to date and, once completed as expected later this year, will provide an additional 115,000 sq. ft. of greenhouse grow space and 11,600 sq. ft. of indoor grow space.
The 85-acre London property is home to 15 acres of outdoor land specifically allocated to cultivation, which is more cost-effective and produces product with higher margins while maintaining quality controls.
In addition, Beleave has been pursuing its license from Health Canada and was notified that it is now at the review and security clearance stage, to be followed by the confirmation of readiness.
The building permit was granted by the City of London April 1, 2019. Health Canada notified the company of its progress on April 2, 2019.
