Tender Details

The 22 Frederick Street RFP seeks a private or public-sector development and operating partner to complete, repurpose, and operate Conestoga College-s partially completed adaptive reuse project in downtown Kitchener. The building, originally intended for student housing and approximately 70 per cent complete, requires an estimated $12-18 million in additional capital to achieve occupancy. Through a public procurement process, the College is inviting proponents to propose either a long-term ground lease/leasehold structure or a joint venture/limited partnership model, with flexibility regarding the ultimate use of the property, including student housing, market rental, affordable housing, seniors- housing, hospitality, or other compatible residential uses. The College-s primary objectives are to secure a financially capable partner that will contribute capital and expertise, complete the project, achieve occupancy and stabilization, maximize long-term value recovery, mitigate losses, and provide a clear pathway for future liquidity or exit while protecting the College from construction, operating, and financing risks.
