Leasing Support Program

Downtown BIA is entering a new chapter.

As we reimagine Ottawa’s downtown core, this is a moment of opportunity—for property owners, entrepreneurs, and community builders alike. The Downtown BIA is leading a new initiative to fill vacant spaces with the right mix of tenants, catalyzing economic renewal and street-level vibrancy.

Who should participate?

  • Commercial property owners and managers with vacant or underutilized spaces
  • Developers and landlords seeking new leasing strategies in the core
  • Owners interested in boosting visibility and attracting aligned tenants
  • Local businesses looking to enhance their brand and expand their footprint in the vibrant downtown core

Contact

If you are interested in learning more about our Leasing Support Program as a business looking to grow, or a property owner looking to host a broker event, please contact our Economic Development Director.
