First two development permit applications to start construction submitted
The design and planning phases are progressing in a coordinated approach to ensure a timely delivery of the Event Centre Block. We are committed to delivering this project as quickly as possible so Calgarians and visitors can begin using the new event centre, community ice rink, and neighboring amenities. It is a multi-year construction project, and every effort is being made to expedite the timeframe.
In February, the design team submitted two of three development permit applications to facilitate construction of the event centre block: a stripping and grading permit and a shoring and excavating permit. A separate development permit for the building is scheduled to be submitted in the coming months. By sequencing the permit applications in this way, we can schedule the work and trades required to begin the excavation process as soon as the design of the Event Centre Block is complete. This process creates efficiency and saves time and cost in the overall project schedule. For more information, visit the FAQ page here.
Site preparation will continue over the next several months including reconfiguration of 5 Street S.E., utility relocations, and various site clean-up activities. While the overall schedule is still being finalized, we expect to share the design and break ground in 2024.
More information on the project and district improvements can be found on the FAQ page.
