MTE's Involvement
MTE has played a key role in advancing a practical and cost-effective redevelopment strategy, addressing both environmental and financial challenges associated with the site.
A targeted remedial approach was developed, combining focused excavation within the underground parking footprint with a site-specific Risk Assessment to manage remaining soil and groundwater impacts. This strategy minimizes the volume of material requiring removal, reducing both remediation costs and schedule impacts while maintaining compliance with Ontario Regulation 153/04 for residential use.
To further support project viability, MTE prepared a Brownfield Business Case aligned with the City of London’s CIP Financial Incentive Programs. This work has helped position the client to access available grants, rebates, and tax-based incentives,
offsetting a significant portion of remediation costs. Through early involvement and close coordination across environmental and servicing disciplines, MTE has helped streamline approvals, reduce risk, and improve overall project certainty. The result is a more efficient path to redevelopment—enabling the successful conversion of a long-vacant brownfield site into a viable, high-density residential community.
