Confederation Heights Master Plan

To develop a Master Plan and Strategic Implementation Plan for 188-hectare lands at Confederation Heights, City of Ottawa, ON.

Fotenn Planning + Design is excited to announce that we have been awarded a contract with Canada Lands Company as the lead consultant to develop a Master Plan and Strategic Implementation Plan for 188 hectares of land at Confederation Heights, located within the City of Ottawa.

Canada Lands Company and Public Services and Procurement Canada (PSPC) are working together, in consultation with Indigenous Peoples, landowners, and a broad range of stakeholders, to develop a comprehensive Master Plan for Confederation Heights. The Master Plan will establish a vision for the site, which is expected to transition over the next 25 years from an automobile-oriented federal employment hub into a mixed-use, sustainable community.

The goal is to turn Confederation Heights into a complete community that provides employment, amenities, connections, and housing that will appeal to a wide and diverse population. The area’s history and context, including proximity to the Rideau River, National Capital Commission parkland, and planned public transit infrastructure, will shape the Master Plan and address aspects such as land uses, building heights, densities, site design, sustainability, housing, parks and open space, heritage considerations, as well as pedestrian, cycling, transit and vehicular connections and wayfinding.
