Canada Lands Company

About

Canada Lands Company is a self-financing, federal Crown corporation specializing in real estate and development, and attractions management. For more than 25 years, the Company has developed some of the most sought-after communities in Canada while serving as the innovative steward of some of the country’s most iconic attractions: the CN Tower and Downsview Park in Toronto, and the Montréal Science Centre and the Old Port of Montréal. The Company works to enrich the everyday lives of Canadians by embracing the potential of the places and spaces it owns and operates, and by curating memorable experiences.

Real estate and development is an important facet of the work Canada Lands Company undertakes to improve the value of a given asset. Following the purchase of a development property at fair market value from the Government of Canada, Canada Lands applies its expertise and may elect to develop, hold or sell a property. At the outset of the development process, Canada Lands fully engages the community and civic officials to collaborate in preparing a consensus-based plan for the property, with connection to the surrounding area. Canada Lands then makes applications for planning approvals from the municipality.
