The National Capital Commission announced Wednesday it has received five proposals to develop Lebreton Flats.
“We are encouraged that our invitation elicited such strong interest,” NCC CEO Mark Kristmanson said in a statement.
In late September, the NCC announced it would accept proposals for the development of up to 21.6 hectares of land south of the Canadian War Museum. It invited applicants to “imagine a world-class destination, a place of inspiration that would demonstrate design excellence and innovation, and be an attractive place for all Canadians, as well as residents of the Capital.”
