Real Estate Services
We manage Ontario’s billion-dollar portfolio of government land and buildings that house the public sector programs, services and people that keep our province running. We oversee the day-to-day operation and long-term maintenance of these facilities through partnerships with private sector service providers.
We work to improve accessibility and space utilization, preserve heritage properties and make the buildings we manage financially and environmentally sustainable.
We are also responsible for ensuring provincially-owned real estate is used in the best, most optimal way. Land or buildings that are no longer needed for government programs or services are repurposed or sold at market price to generate revenue for government re-investment.
Finding innovative ways to reduce and revitalize the government’s building and land portfolio is central to our business and integral to the value we provide Ontarians.
