Canada Lands Company decided not to redevelop the Correctional Services of Canada Regional Headquarters in Kingston, Ontario because "Heritage by-laws and public purpose interest did not leave any room for CLC to add value". (Read:" Navigate the Disposal Process - Real Property Institute of Canada - November 18 2005" Page 15).
Plans were made to transfer the Regional Headquarters to Parks Canada, Queen's University and the City of Kingston.

Stone Gables at 462 King Street West in Kingston, Ontario, once owned by Corrections Canada.

Kingston Mayor Paterson:
     "I think there is some prime waterfront property there" Patterson said. "What's critical, in my view, is that we can encourage and facilitate redevelopment of these properties that would incorporate public access to the waterfront". (From: "City has interest in St. Helen's property" The Kingston Whig Standard, March 22 2015.)
Stone Gables is a Recognized Federal Heritage Building. The Council of the Corporation of the City of Kingston is trying to save 462 King Street West:
       PUBLIC NOTICE
 Notice of Intention to pass a Bylaw to Designate 462 King Street West also known as Stone Gables to be of Cultural Heritage Value and Interest - November 25 2014.
      Pursuant to the Provisions of the Ontario Heritage Act (R.S.O. 1990, Chapter 0. 18.)
