ClubLink initiates planning for the redevelopment of Kanata Golf Lands

Beginning in early 2019, ClubLink, Minto Communities and Richcraft Homes will undertake a community engagement process that will inform a land-use plan for the property.

OTTAWA – ClubLink, owner and operator of the Kanata Golf & Country Club, announced that it will pursue options for alternative use of the golf course lands. ClubLink has partnered with Minto Communities and Richcraft Homes, two reputable developers with a long history of building vibrant, residential communities, to assist with community engagement and redevelopment plans for the property.

"Golf courses are struggling across the country, and particularly in saturated markets like Ottawa. Participation levels have declined and people are playing less golf while operating costs continue to rise," said Robert Visentin, ClubLink's Senior Vice-President of Investments. "Ottawa is a vibrant, growing city and we believe there is an opportunity to better utilize this 70 hectares of land to meet the interests of the community."

"This is a special opportunity to have such a significant piece of property inside the city's urban boundary that can be designed to reflect the community's needs – such as much needed new housing for families, and high quality public green spaces," noted Brent Strachan, Ottawa Division President, Minto Communities. "We look forward to contributing to a project that we as a company and the broader community can be proud of."

Steve Grandmont, Chief Operating Officer, Richcraft Homes added, "As a long-time builder in Kanata, we know this community well and appreciate that residents will want their values reflected in this plan. We're going to work hard to get it right."

Beginning in early 2019, ClubLink, Minto Communities and Richcraft Homes will undertake a community engagement process that will inform a land-use plan for the property. This process will also be carried out in close collaboration with City of Ottawa officials to ensure the plan is supportive of the City's priorities of liveability and smart growth.
