Project Description
A market-informed development strategy positioning YEG for long-term real estate growth, economic diversification, and revenue generation.
MXD Development Strategists developed an updated Development Strategy for Edmonton Airports (EA) and Edmonton International Airport (YEG), building on more than two decades of collaboration on the airport’s highway commercial and logistics development initiatives. The assignment focused on updating the real estate and economic opportunity framework for YEG’s strategic airside and landside properties, identifying market-supported development opportunities and establishing a clear path toward future commercialization.MXD assessed competitive market conditions and benchmark airports, key economic sectors and emerging industries with potential to drive future demand, and development opportunities across priority areas of the airport. This analysis informed recommended development programming and concept-level opportunities, supported by high-level revenue and value proposition analysis, including potential ground lease and ancillary income streams. The resulting strategy established a market-informed framework to guide subsequent Airport Development Master Planning, Design Guidelines, and targeted market offerings. It provided a strategic basis for engaging investors, developers, tenants, and partners while positioning YEG to capture emerging real estate and economic opportunities.
