Event Centre Engagement Sessions
City Council approved plans for a new Event Centre in July 2019. In November, The City of Calgary and Calgary Sports and Entertainment Corporation formalized their agreement to jointly fund and build the $550 million facility. CMLC will serve as Development Manager for the facility to oversee its design and construction and successful integration into the district.
The new event centre will deliver an extraordinary civic amenity for residents and visitors to enjoy for generations. Beyond bringing the city a world-class venue for sports and entertainment events of all types and sizes, the project will include the addition of dynamic outdoor festival spaces and streetscape enhancements to the surrounding area.
Considered as one of three catalyst community-building projects for the Rivers District, the new event centre is a critical component to realizing the vision of Calgary’s Culture & Entertainment District.
As the development manager responsible for the procurement process to select the facility’s project team and oversee construction logistics, Calgary Municipal Land Corporation (CMLC) is also leading a public consultation program in advance of building design and construction.
