Edmonton Research Park

Engagement has concluded


Public engagement for the Edmonton Research Park project has now concluded. For any questions please reach out to Alexandra Carson via email at alexandra.carson@edmonton.ca 


The Phase 3 Edmonton Research Park Property Owners, Tenants and Land Lease Holders provided their feedback on the options and actions. The What We Heard Report is now available.


The Phase 2 interviews have concluded, and the What We Heard Report is available.

The Edmonton Research Park (ERP) was approved by City Council in 1982 to support and attract research and advanced technology enterprises to the city. The ERP was created to be a catalyst for innovation in the city, giving its tenants access to networking opportunities, workshops and mentorship opportunities. The ERP focuses on advanced research in medicine, biotechnology, software, research, engineering, nanotechnology, business incubation and clean energy. As part of the management of the ERP, a restrictive covenant is registered against each property located within the Edmonton Research Park. The covenant has ensured that Council's original goal to promote research and advanced technology within the Research Park has been realized and has guided property development through the development standards contained in the document.

As of December 2020, the City of Edmonton serves as the park authority which works to develop, promote, lease and market the Research Park lands.

Council motion:

On March 23, 2022, the Executive committee passed a motion that directs the administration to “engage businesses in the Edmonton Research Park and City-funded economic development partners to provide options and actions to advance economic development opportunities including, but not limited to, life sciences, research and development in the Edmonton Research Park in alignment with the principles in the Economic Action Plan and return to the committee.”

Stakeholders will be invited to share their feedback and perspectives on the current economic development and research outputs, awareness of the park’s purpose, current involvement of our economic development partners in the park and diversity within the ERP.

The objectives of this engagement are as follows: 

  • Gather insight on options or actions the City, businesses operating in the park and/or economic development partners could take to advance economic and research outcomes of the Edmonton Research Park.

  • Ensure the Edmonton Research Park is a diverse, inclusive and equitable place to do business.

Project Area

The project area is in a 41-hectare plot of land located south of 23rd Avenue NW between 91 Street and Parsons Road designated as the Edmonton Research Park.
