Hydraulic Canal Site Development

USA Niagara Development Corporation, (“USA Niagara”) is requesting to issue a request for proposals (“RFP”) for the redevelopment of a property located between First, Second, Niagara and Main Streets (“the Property” or “the Site”) in downtown Niagara Falls, New York. The redevelopment of this Property represents a unique opportunity to contribute to the redevelopment of a historic commercial district in an iconic American city.

USA Niagara acquired this Property in March 2019 through a strategic land acquisition program created to assemble long- dormant properties located near Niagara Falls State Park in order to remove blight from the downtown area and expand the density and variety of uses as downtown Niagara Falls grows into a year- round, sustainable neighborhood.

Niagara Falls continues to be one of the world’s most recognizable destinations. With over 9 nine million annual visitors, the city is part of a bi-national mega region. Notably, it is also positioned as the geographic center of the “Golden Horseshoe” extending from the Greater Toronto Area through Western New York to the Finger Lakes, possessing a regional population of over 10 million people. With recent generational investments into transportation and tourism/recreation-related infrastructure, transportation and tourism development, the city is poised to see significant economic growth in the coming years.
