Development Land for Sale in Ottawa
Development land
The value of land is in what you can build
Two parcels of the same size can be worth very different amounts. Zoning, the official plan, servicing, access, environmental constraints and the approvals path decide what can be built, how long it will take and what it will cost.
We help builders and developers find sites that fit their product, and review the key constraints before they commit. The Development Tracker on our site follows new projects and approvals across the city, which helps show where growth is heading.

Ottawa Development Land FAQs
How is development land valued?
By what can be built and what it will cost to get there: comparable land sales and a residual analysis of the project, adjusted for approvals risk and timing. We often recommend an appraisal.
Do you help with rezoning?
We are brokers, not planners. We help you understand the likely path and work alongside your planner, engineer and lawyer.
Can I build rental housing on my site?
If zoning and servicing allow. Our build-to-order program builds new low-rise rental buildings on zoning-approved sites.
