Housing and development opportunities

Canada is facing a housing crisis that is impacting lives and communities across the country. Our country needs to build more homes, faster, to solve today’s challenge and meet the demand of a growing Canada.

This is why the NCC initiated the Lands for Homes strategy. The NCC intends to contribute significantly to the Government of Canada’s efforts to identify lands that could be developed to increase the housing stock, including affordable housing, in the National Capital Region.

The NCC also manages residential properties that are available for lease, on both sides of the Ottawa River.


Commercial 

Most of our commercial properties are in the ByWard Market area, especially along Sussex Drive. There are also commercial properties in the central business district along Sparks Street, including 100 Sparks Street.


Agricultural

The NCC has developed a model that provides unique opportunities for farmers to establish farms on quality land within 10 minutes of downtown Ottawa. The NCC has recently embraced a shift toward local and sustainable food production, and we are looking for tenants who are experienced and ready to start their own farm.
