Mayor Drew Dilkens, along with members of City Council and City administration, launched the Caron Avenue Site Expression of Interest (EOI) as part of the City of Windsor’s Housing Solutions Made for Windsor strategy.
First unveiled in March of 2024, the overall strategy aims to increase the supply of housing and meet aggressive housing targets for the community by identifying and making shovel ready various municipal lands with high potential for residential development.
At the time of the program launch, four municipal properties were identified as possessing significant and immediate potential for development covering all types of housing needs, including affordable housing, and missing middle housing. These included the former Lowe Secondary School site, Caron Avenue Parking Lot, Pelissier Street Parking Lot, and Roseland Golf Club Parking Lot.
The Caron Avenue Site EOI represents the first of several opportunities to support evolving housing needs in the community. The EOI invites developers and proponents to submit comprehensive proposals that align with Windsor’s vision of smart housing solutions for sustainable, inclusive, and community-oriented development. Proposals will be accepted through the EOI from Friday, May 31, 2024, through Friday, August 23, 2024, with all relevant information available at LetsTalk.CityWindsor.ca/housing-solutions-made-for-windsor.
Additional Available Municipal Lands Announced
In addition to launching the Caron Avenue Site EOI, the City announced additional municipal lands identified for development at this time, including the following sites:
• Former Windsor Arena - 572 McDougall Street
• Former Grace Hospital Site - 339 Crawford Avenue
The addition of these two properties brings the total list of municipal lands available for residential development to six properties. The City will also continue to review additional available municipal lands to identify further opportunities to support evolving housing needs and smart housing solutions in Windsor.
