Development and master planning

Master Planning & Development Services

We plan what properties become — and then we build it.

Salthill Capital delivers master planning and development services for commercial real estate owners and investors seeking to reposition, intensify, redevelop, or transform their assets across Canada. Our team integrates leasing strategy, capital planning, operational requirements, and construction coordination into every mandate from entitlement and feasibility through to phased execution and long-term asset performance.

With over 30 years of experience across retail redevelopment, mixed-use development, and large-scale commercial real estate projects, Salthill's principals have led complex repositioning initiatives shaped by real operational insight, tenant strategy, and long-term value creation.

What Our Master Planning & Development Services Include

Salthill's development platform covers the full project lifecycle from strategic assessment and entitlements through leasing-led design, construction, and long-term asset management.

Our Master Planning & Development Services

Land Use Zoning & Entitlements

Official plan amendments, zoning applications, entitlement strategy, and municipal approvals management from initial analysis through to approval.

Feasibility Analysis & Concept Planning

Market demand assessment, development economics, infrastructure requirements, and phasing strategy evaluated to ensure every project is buildable, leasable, and financially viable.

Leasing-Integrated Design Strategy

Tenant mix, anchor positioning, and merchandising zones defined during the planning phase — not after design is complete.

Infrastructure & Construction Coordination

On-time, on-budget delivery of landlord work, tenant fit-ups, and capital programs across active development and repositioning projects.

Community Stakeholder Engagement

Structured relationships with local government, municipal planners, and community organizations maintained throughout entitlement and redevelopment phases.

Repositioning & Redevelopment Strategy

End-to-end strategic and operational leadership for assets requiring anchor re-tenanting, density additions, intensification, or full redevelopment.

Why Salthill Capital

30+ Years of Development Experience

Salthill's master planning team brings direct experience developing and repositioning shopping centres across Canada, including Yorkdale, Metropolis at Metrotown, Chinook Centre, Square One, and The Core. That depth informs every mandate from day one.

Integrated Platform, Single Accountable Team

Master planning, leasing, asset management, and property management operate as one team at Salthill. When development is complete, operations continue without a handoff with the same people, same strategy, and same accountability.

Track Record on Complex Assets

Salthill has led master planning on large-scale, long-horizon redevelopments including Pickering City Centre - a 56-acre mixed-use community with 10+ residential towers, 6,000+ residential units, and a direct connection to Pickering GO Station.
