The City of Thunder Bay is inviting developers, investors, housing providers, and other visionary community builders to help shape the city’s next phase of growth. Through a new Call for Proposals, several City-owned ‘Opportunity Sites’ are now available for potential purchase and development.

“The City is focused on growth, building more homes and businesses, and offering land for development”, said Joel DePeuter, Director Development Services.  “That, paired with our strong local and regional construction expertise and skilled workforce, is a recipe for success.”  

These sites are high potential, prime locations suited for quality, multi-residential, and mixed-use projects that align with Thunder Bay’s bold vision to grow the urban housing supply, build vibrant neighbourhoods, and support sustainable development. Eligible projects may qualify for financial incentives, including grants for housing, construction, and planning fees.

“This is a great chance to bring forward new ideas and help grow Thunder Bay in a meaningful way,” said Deanna Walker, Manager of Realty Services. “We’re looking for proposals that make smart use of these, and other City owned properties and contribute to the kind of welcoming, vibrant, and growing city we all want to live in.”

If you have an idea and capacity for a high value, quality development project, explore the available sites and submit a proposal.
