Infrastructure Ontario

What Infrastructure Ontario does

Infrastructure Ontario (legal name: Ontario Infrastructure and Lands Corporation) is a Crown agency of the Government of Ontario, established in 2005 and headquartered in Toronto. The organization operates as an agent for Her Majesty the Queen in right of Ontario and serves as the procurement and commercial lead for major public infrastructure across the province. Since inception, IO has delivered approximately $44.4 billion in infrastructure projects and brought 161 major public-private partnership (P3) projects to market across healthcare, transit, highways, courthouses, and social infrastructure.

IO's core operations span four service lines: Capital Delivery (procurement and commercial leadership for P3, design-bid-build, and rapid construction delivery projects), Infrastructure Lending (affordable long-term loans to eligible public sector clients priced at cost of funds plus program delivery costs), Real Estate Services (management of over 4,400 buildings and approximately 194,000 acres of provincial land across roughly 350 Ontario communities, accommodating 60,000 Ontario Public Service employees), and Development (Transit-Oriented Communities program facilitating mixed-use housing and community infrastructure on government land). The organization also operates the Surplus Properties Sales Program and filming location licensing services.

IO's business model is funded through provincial appropriations and program delivery fees rather than commercial revenue generation. The organization outsources operational property management to BGIS Canada and project management services to Colliers Project Leaders under multi-year master service agreements. Revenue is fully dependent on Government of Ontario budget cycles, with a $236 billion provincial infrastructure investment plan providing multi-year visibility. The June 2026 Market Update reported 24 projects in pre-procurement and active procurement representing over $25 billion in combined design and construction value.

Scale indicators7 records

Recent moves6 records

Expansion highlights5 records

Broad incumbents

• Brookfield Asset Management: Brookfield manages the largest infrastructure investment platform globally and is a natural investor partner in P3 equity transactions procured by agencies like IO. Comparable because Brookfield provides private capital that IO accesses through its P3 procurements, and competes with IO where it acts directly as a principal investor in Canadian infrastructure.
• WSP Global: WSP is a global engineering and professional services firm with deep involvement in Ontario infrastructure projects, including transit and buildings that IO procures. Comparable in the broader P3/advisory value chain as a private-sector engineering consultancy that competes for advisory mandates IO procures, but with much broader commercial scope.
• AECOM: AECOM is a global infrastructure consulting firm that provides design, engineering and program management services on P3 projects worldwide, including in Ontario. AECOM participates in IO's procurement processes as an industry partner and is comparable in the broader infrastructure services market, though it is a private commercial firm rather than a Crown agency.

Direct peers

• Infrastructure Australia: Infrastructure Australia is an independent statutory body advising the Australian federal government on infrastructure priorities and providing project evaluation, analogous to IO's role advising Ontario on infrastructure strategy and pipeline. Comparable institutional design and strategic advisory mandate, but at a national scale.
• Canadian Infrastructure Bank (CIB): The CIB is a federal Crown corporation that invests in revenue-generating infrastructure projects across Canada, including transit, broadband, and clean power. It overlaps directly with IO's Infrastructure Lending and capital delivery mandates and competes for similar public-sector infrastructure dollars at the federal level.
• Partnerships BC: Partnerships BC is a British Columbia Crown corporation with a mandate analogous to IO's: it procures, delivers, and manages public-private partnership infrastructure projects on behalf of the BC government. Same P3 model, same statutory monopoly structure, same broader public-sector clients, just jurisdictionally distinct.

Others

• CBRE Group — Government & Public Sector Advisory: CBRE is a global real estate services firm that handles filming location and surplus property sales for IO's portfolio and advises governments on real estate strategy. Adjacent enabler of IO's Surplus Properties Sales Program and estate management services, rather than a direct P3 delivery competitor.
• BGIS Canada: BGIS holds the 2023 Real Property Services Master Service Agreement with IO to operate day-to-day facility management across the Ontario government real estate portfolio. A direct service-delivery counterpart to IO's real estate functions rather than a competing infrastructure agency.

Regional players

• B.C. Infrastructure Benefits: BCIB is a provincial Crown agency that supplies skilled trades labour for major public infrastructure projects in British Columbia under community benefits agreements. Comparable in being a provincial public-sector delivery vehicle for infrastructure but specialised in workforce provision rather than full P3 procurement.
• Alberta Infrastructure: Alberta Infrastructure delivers and manages public infrastructure for the Government of Alberta, including schools, healthcare facilities and government buildings. Comparable mandate to IO's Real Estate Services and capital delivery functions but operates only in Alberta, providing regional contrast to IO's Ontario focus.
