The National Capital Commission's new master plan for LeBreton Flats includes more than 4,000 homes, offices and shops, a new urban waterfront and a “sizeable park” — and even sets aside land along Albert Street for events — a plan that may not seem as flashy as previous schemes for the downtown land, but could possibly be more doable.
Master plan includes 7 new districts, to be sold and developed one at a time

The National Capital Commission's new master plan for LeBreton Flats includes more than 4,000 homes, offices and shops, a new urban waterfront and a “sizeable park” — and even sets aside land along Albert Street for events — a plan that may not seem as flashy as previous schemes for the downtown land, but could possibly be more doable.
- NCC to develop LeBreton Flats in stages
- Coalition wants people-centric LeBreton Flats deal
- Senators won't give up on move downtown, Melnyk says
Public consultations in June this year indicated that residents wanted LeBreton to be a place that included affordable housing, public and green spaces, and both community-scale amenities and major attractions.
The NCC appears to have listened to that feedback, unveiling a plan Wednesday that carves the 24-hectare site into seven districts that focus on each of these public demands. The NCC plans to sell the land one piece at a time, and to use the proceeds to develop the public realms of the project over time.
More to come.
