How was the developer selected?

The Town issued a competitive Request for Proposals (RFP) process (RFP 2025-TOB-RFP-001) in January 2025. Proposals were evaluated based on:

• Proponent qualifications, experience, and financial capacity;
• Strength of partnerships;
• Alignment with Town priorities, including housing supply, long-term affordability, downtown vibrancy, environmental sustainability, and consistency with the Downtown Master Plan;
• Quality of the proposed concept and design, including housing mix, accessibility, and overall feasibility; and
• Financial viability of the project.

Following evaluation, the preferred proposal was submitted by Greystone Project Management Inc. in collaboration with Habitat for Humanity Ontario Gateway North and the District Municipality of Muskoka.
