Gateway Business Park | City of Medicine Hat

Welcome to Gateway Business Park - Southeast Alberta's premier land and commercial development opportunity. Conveniently located in front of the Medicine Hat Regional Airport.

Gateway Business Park is a commercial development located at the Medicine Hat Regional Airport along Highway #3. With daily WestJet flights and over 9,700 vehicles passing by each day, it’s a high-visibility location primed for commercial development and future economic growth in the west employment sector.

Situated in Southeast Alberta and serving Southwest Saskatchewan, the Medicine Hat Regional Airport is not only the region’s main aviation hub - with daily WestJet service and private charters - but also a key driver of regional economic growth. Gateway Business Park leverages this strategic advantage, offering premium airside land for sale and lease in a highly visible location along the Crowsnest Pass Highway.

Gateway Business Park was previously known as "YXH Gateway". Watch for a new video, coming soon!

Why Gateway Business Park Stands Out

Strategic Location: Positioned directly on Highway 3 – accommodating over 9,700 vehicles daily - the site captures a significant portion of the traffic entering the region, making it an excellent spot for commercial visibility.
Dual Purpose: As a development hub and anchor for the area, the site has potential as a service point for high-end, semi-rural residential communities located nearby outside Medicine Hat city limits.
Fully Serviced Land: The available parcels are fully serviced, and ready to support a wide variety of commercial uses.
Flexible Parcel Options: The total land available is roughly 7.96 acres, divided into three parcels along Highway #3 for various uses. Option to subdivide the plots for additional commercialization and development opportunities.

Commercial Development Opportunities

Gateway Business Park includes three amazing commercial development properties now available for sale - each of which present a unique opportunity with fully serviced land in a prime location. The nature of this location presents a wide array of potential business opportunities as the area is still in development, without being overly isolated or distant from essential services.

Community and Economic Context

The City of Medicine Hat recognizes a vibrant airport as more than just a transportation and logistics facility - it’s also one of the first impressions for visitors to our vibrant and growing community, a site of investment for our local businesses and developers, and essential infrastructure for our future economic growth.

The commercial development opportunity at the Medicine Hat Regional Airport not only supports airline and Highway #3 travelers directly, but also indirectly serves and boosts the development, vitality, and sustainability of the greater western employment sector. This area is a key neighborhood for our city, as it was specifically mentioned in the Municipal Development Plan as a future growth node for Medicine Hat.

Highway 3 Twinning

Objectives:

Safety of the traveling public
Highway is developed, designed, and constructed in an environmentally responsible manner that meets or exceeds the Provincial standards
Risks are identified and properly allocated
Provide effective and efficient highway infrastructure

Alberta Transportation and Economic Corridors (TEC) is completing the design to twin approximately 36 km of Highway 3, between 3 km east of Highway 885 and east of Highway 523 (Whitla [west of Seven Persons] to Medicine Hat). The project will refine design standards, access locations, and the staging requirements for four lanes.

This work, which will improve safety and enhance traffic flow and efficiency, will expand the highway from two undivided lanes in each direction to two (four total) divided lanes in each direction.

This project will build on previous planning studies on the Highway 3 corridor between Highway 885
(Whitla) and Medicine Hat.
