The National Capital Commission has picked a Calgary firm to shape the master plan for LeBreton Flats.
The Crown corporation announced Thursday that, following a public tender process, O2 Planning + Design will lead plans for the redevelopment of LeBreton Flats.
The NCC rebooted the LeBreton file earlier this year when plans fell apart to revitalize the 55-acre swath of land with a collection of residential and mixed-use developments. The new concept will see the long-vacant site west of the downtown core parcelled out for gradual development rather than an all-or-nothing approach.
