The City of Regina is inviting proposals for the redevelopment of the General Motors Plant. This site, located at 1250 Winnipeg Street, has been vacant since a significant fire in 2017 rendered it unfit for occupancy.
Opportunity for Development
Chad Jedlic, Regina’s director of land, real estate, and economic development, expressed enthusiasm about this initiative. He stated, “The City is excited to make this opportunity available to private developers. We are eager to see this site return to active use in the community.”
Background of the GM Plant
The General Motors Plant in Regina opened its doors in 1927. It has a substantial footprint, covering approximately 300,000 square feet. In May 2017, a devastating fire broke out, requiring over 30 firefighters and seven emergency units to control the blaze.
Proposal Details
Qualified firms and individuals interested in this redevelopment initiative are encouraged to contact the city. They will have access to the expression of interest document package, outlining the requirements for proposals.
