Infill Infrastructure Fund Feature Graphic

Provides funding for shared public infrastructure to support new market and non-market multi-unit housing in Edmonton's redeveloping area.

The City Plan sets targets of adding 50% of new housing through infill city-wide and welcoming 600,000 people to the redeveloping area (roughly inside the Anthony Henday) by the time Edmonton’s population reaches 2 million. The goal is to create a healthy, urban, climate-resilient city where Edmontonians of all ages, abilities and backgrounds have access to a variety of housing options and can easily meet their daily needs close to home.

The City recognizes that the upfront investment required from developers for public infrastructure upgrades can be a significant barrier to building new housing in existing neighbourhoods. In addition, the first housing project in an area can often be required to cover the cost of public infrastructure upgrades that benefit subsequent projects. 

The Infill Infrastructure Fund - part of the City’s Housing Accelerator Fund action plan - was created to help reduce these barriers. It will help cover the cost of shared public infrastructure upgrades to make it easier to build multi-unit market and non-market housing in Edmonton's redeveloping area (roughly inside Henday) with a focus on nodes (urban centres), corridors (main streets) and around transit.

The Fund marks another major step in the City’s work over the last decade to dismantle barriers and lay the groundwork necessary to support Edmonton’s rapid growth and make it a top choice for housing development and investment.
