THE City of Delta announced on Wednesday that it has received five Expression of Interest (EOI) submissions for a tourist accommodation in Ladner Village following the first round of the EOI process.

As part of ongoing efforts to revitalize Ladner Village, Delta Council directed staff at the September 23 regular meeting to seek proposals for a potential hotel along Chisholm Street. The submission process closed on January 31.

The five proposals will be reviewed and scored by the City’s Ladner Village Revitalization Staff Task Force based on the experience and reputation of the developer, alignment with the community’s vision, and the proposed operating model and value for Delta.

A shortlist of proponents will then be invited to participate in Round 2 of the EOI process and will have until August 31, 2025, to submit a detailed proposal. The names of the shortlisted proponents submitting formal proposals will be shared at that time. Once detailed proposals are received and evaluated, staff will report back to Delta Council with recommendations and Council will decide whether to proceed.

Prior to the launch of the EOI Process, staff attended pop-up events throughout the summer of 2024, speaking with residents about the potential of a tourism accommodation in the village. Conversations with approximately 400 residents, as well as 319 feedback forms submitted through letstalk.delta.ca, helped shape a list of features demonstrating what the community most valued in a potential accommodation. This list included reflecting the historic character of the village, working with local suppliers, considering the streetscape, and amenities for locals, among other elements.

Preparation work at the Chisholm Street site is well underway, with asbestos removal in progress and demolition of the structures anticipated to begin this month. Environmental site investigation and remediation work required to obtain a Certificate of Compliance from the Ministry of Environment is complete and an application to the Ministry is currently being prepared.
