SOMASS LANDS

In 2021 the City purchased key waterfront parcels of land to move forward with their strategic redevelopment for the benefit of the community. It's the most significant purchase in the City's recent history.

Detailed Project Overview

“With the purchase of the smaller parcels, the City gains full ownership of Harbour Road and the rail corridor that provide access to waterfront properties. This will enable a strategic and well-planned redevelopment of these key areas,” continued Mayor Sharie Minions. “Ownership of the Dry Creek corridor provides the community with an attractive loop option for the Quay to Quay Path.”

The purchase price for the five properties was $5,326,375.

Each of these properties represents significant strategic value both today, and as we move forward in this changing community.
