Submission Deadline: Evaluation Underway

The Site is currently comprised of one lot with three government buildings and a fourth building that straddles the southern property line. It has been owned by the provincial government since 1959. Internal drive aisles and surface parking areas occupy portions of the Site between the buildings. The Site is +/- 3.5 acres and is situated at a prominent entrance of the Government Precinct along Columbia Street. There is a +/- 7m grade change from the SW to the NE corner of the Site.Given the Site’s prominent location within the Government Precinct and its interface with Columbia Street and the Central Business District, development will play a key role in reinforcing and defining this important Site. The Site is otherwise surrounded by Peterson Creek to the east and government buildings and surface parking.
