Description

The intent of this RFP is to find a Developer who is interested in developing the site to its maximum potential – specifically to increase commercial development in the Town and potentially increase housing to address the housing shortage in the area. This is a prime piece of real estate in the heart of Kentville. The Town prefers to partner with a Developer who has a big picture vision for the site. The Town is keenly aware of the housing shortage in the area. Recent provincial studies have indicated that the Town is predicted to have a housing deficit of 185 units in 2027, and 390 units by 2032, under the current construction pace of 40 new units being built annually within Kentville. Overall population growth was 6% between 2016 and 2021, outpacing provincial growth, with the strongest growth in 25–44-year-olds. These numbers do not include the continuing trend indicating the need for more seniors housing to support aging in place.
