The Real Estate Division is an ancillary department within the University of Guelph, responsible for the management, planning and development of real estate properties non-core to the University’s academic mission. The scope of the Real Estate Division’s holdings is extensive including research innovation parks, agricultural land, aggregate mines, greenfield sites, golf course facilities, single-family residential and mixed-use buildings. Through the renewed Strategic Plan (Our Time, 2022-2027) we have committed to help restore financial health through diversified and enhanced revenue streams. As such, we are looking to reimagine the urban holdings to both maximize revenue generation, while enhancing the local community, delivering diverse housing typologies, advancing action on climate change and nurturing collaboration, innovation, entrepreneurship, and research commercialization. As a result of changing provincial funding models, the University is diversifying revenue streams to support our academic mission. In addition to generating revenue, the land holdings provide a unique opportunity to deliver housing and support a shared mission of economic development, innovation, community building and place-making within the City of Guelph. We are committed to bold action in mitigating and adapting to the impacts of climate change and advancing environmental sustainability. As such, we are seeking a Respondent with a strong commitment to delivering precedent-setting models of prioritizing sustainability within strategic land use planning. The strategic land use plan will serve as a model for climate-friendly, climate-resilient, pedestrian and transit-oriented land use planning. Urban design and connectivity to the surrounding community will be an integral component to this work. Adjacent to the University, and within the geographic centre of the City of Guelph, the strategic land use plan will illustrate the envisioned massing and the relationship between built form, connectivity, land uses and open spaces. The strategic land use plan will prioritize a built form that leverages density, proximity and mix of uses, including but not limited to residential, commercial, retail, student housing, laboratory, greenspace, and community amenities to enhance sense of place by planning for development that fosters connection, convergence, innovation, entrepreneurship, economic resiliency and livability. To ensure integration with the surrounding community, the strategic land use plan will be designed to be truly pedestrian and transit oriented. As such, the Respondent will provide a conceptual urban design and connectivity plan. Stakeholder engagement will play a key role in informing the development of the strategic land use plan. The successful Supplier will facilitate stakeholder engagement on behalf and in collaboration with the Real Estate Division. We understand the innate connection between the role of space and inclusivity and well-being. As such, we are seeking a Respondent that is committed to prioritizing equity, diversity, inclusion, and indigeneity through all aspects of their work.
