Shortage of Quality Land for Development in West End Ottawa

Dec 22

I’ve discussed a shortage of real estate entrepreneurs elsewhere, https://www.eqjournal.org/?p=4349. Now I want to deal with the fact that there is also a shortage of land for high end development of industrial and business uses despite the city of Ottawa having a study that says otherwise. In fact, the city says they have enough land of this type to provide a 50-year supply.

Here’s why they’re wrong–

1. much of those lands are owned by the Crown (in the form of the NCC, National Capital Commission) and, hence, out of bounds for development

2. the rest is owned largely (more than half) by 8 large developers who are happy to build-to-suit to lease but not sell any lands for entrepreneurs to build and own their own premises

3. what land is available for purchase is pricey (now over $350,000 per acre in many parts of the city)

4. much of the supply is sited next to undesirable uses such as landfill site, quarry, auto wrecker, junky or derelict building, …

That’s why companies like world-brand John Deere and upscale Play Value Toys bought land at the new David Manchester road/Hazeldean road interchange on the newly developed divided highway 7 at its junction with highway 417 (the Queensway). It’s where a new industrial/business park should be located.

Here’s an opportunity to join them/invest in the area/build something marvelous…
