YYG Business Park
The Airport Business Park offers tenants a strong positional advantage. The Park is located at Prince Edwards Island’s only commercial airport, which holds the only customs facility in the province. Additionally, the Airport Business Park is located in the capital city, Charlottetown, and is situated on the main thoroughfare for PEI. This centrally located prime commercial land for lease is ideal for both business commercial and light industrial uses and appeals to a wide cross section of industries.
The proximity of the airport to the downtown core is unique in that it is located much closer to the urban park than would be expected of most other airports. The Airport Business Park is essentially becoming part of the urban sprawl of the City of Charlottetown. This prime commercial land is fully serviced and ready for lease.
Currently, there are approximately 4 acres of serviced airside lots and 20 acres of groundside serviced lots. Additionally, there is a further 90 acres of un-serviced green field land to be developed as needed.

Site Development Geo-technical Characteristics
Soils reports have indicated that the subsurface encountered may be summarized as 0.7 to 1.0 m (average 0.8 m) of existing fill/rootmat/topsoil that overlies a competent native till soil. Neither bedrock nor the groundwater table were encountered within the depth investigated.
The conditions encountered are considered to be favourable for site development and building construction. Site preparation for proposed buildings and parking areas would require the removal of the existing fill/rootmat/topsoil and the subsequent placement of structural fill up to the required subgrade level. Pit-run sandstone (Select Borrow) is typically utilized as structure fill on PEI and is available in close proximity to the airport property.
Development Process
The Charlottetown Airport Authority assists potential tenants in realizing their development opportunities. Their professional management staff can navigate a potential tenant’s project from concept to completion. The CAA provides customer-focused approaches to a tenant’s development needs. There are four consecutive steps to successfully approve the development plans: Land Use Approval, Building Permit, Facility Alteration Permit, and Legal Documents.
The initial step in the development approval process is to obtain land use approval from the CAA, NAV Canada, and the City of Charlottetown.
Charlottetown Airport Authority Component
A Land Use Proposal detailing the scope of the proposed project should be submitted to the CAA for review. This is the initial formal step in the approval process. A copy of the Land Use Proposal form can be obtained by contacting the CAA.
NAV Canada Component
NAV Canada land use approval is required. Their procedures and Land Use Proposal Submission Form can be retrieved from their web page at www.navcanada.ca and navigating to their land use program. The CAA can assist in the NAV Canada land use approval process. The land use proposal submission form must be submitted to NavCanada with all required information including drawings. Freely available programs such as Google earth-based graphics (www.googleearth.ca) can be used to illustrate the proposed project. When approved, NAV Canada will advise directly and send a copy to CAA.
City of Charlottetown Component
Consultation with the City of Charlottetown at the outset of the project will establish communication and identify any potential zoning regulations that may impact the project.

Prior to construction, approval from City of Charlottetown in the form of a valid Building Permit is required. The CAA can assist in coordinating this approval process and discussing the project scope with its counterparts in the City of Charlottetown Planning Department. A copy of the approved Building Permit is to be provided to the CAA.

A Facility Alteration Permit (FAP) must be approved by the CAA. The FAP will include appropriate drawings, sketches and specifications to allow for operational and technical review of the proposal. The FAP shall include a site and project location plan; drawings of water, sewer, and electrical services, and voice and data transmission cables; storage tank information; building floor plan, elevations and details; building electrical and mechanical requirements; and other drawings and specifications as may be pertinent to the proposed work. A copy of the FAP form can be obtained by contacting the CAA. The granting of a FAP is contingent on an approved Building Permit from the City of Charlottetown.
A plot plan and legal description of the land (narrative) are required components of the land Lease. A Notice of Lease will be prepared by our lawyer and registered with the province. A signed Lease must be in place prior to commencement of any alteration to the land.
