The City of Mount Pearl has extended the deadline to receive expressions of interest (EOI) for the sale and development of the former swimming pool site on Stapleton Road.
Initially, proposals were due May 8, but the City has extended that deadline to May 26.
When asked, staff said there was no reason in particular for the deadline extension.
The City hopes to see the 2.58-acre parcel of land redeveloped as a high-density housing development and preference will be given to plans that maximize the space and feature over 50 units.
“The City has already cleared and remediated the site to make it easier for developers to invest in Mount Pearl,” said Mayor Dave Aker. “We are excited to see innovative proposals that will help us build a vibrant neighbourhood and meet the growing demand for housing in our city.”
The pool was constructed in 1974 and closed in 2014 to make way for the new pool at the Summit Centre.
The building was demolished in October 2024.
