Ottawa – In a report to be considered by the Finance and Economic Development Committee on September 2 and by City Council on September 10, city staff are recommending a final preferred proponent to complete the Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG) Expansion and Arts Court Redevelopment Project.
Following a rigorous competitive procurement process, which was overseen by an external Fairness Commissioner, the report recommends approval of the consortium of EBC Inc., DevMcGill and Groupe Germain for the project.
The site will feature the private sector development of a 21-storey mixed-use tower at 60-70 Waller Street that will include a boutique hotel on the first 12 floors and residential condominium units on the upper floors.
“This is another exciting step forward for the redevelopment of the Ottawa Art Gallery and Arts Court,” said Mayor Jim Watson. “This magnificent project will create jobs, attract visitors to our City and provide a revitalized downtown space to showcase Ottawa’s inspiring and talented arts community.”
This initiative represents a public-private investment of over $100 million to rejuvenate the downtown core. This includes a $41.68-million investment by the city and $60 million from the private sector. The project is the culmination of a long-standing vision for a municipal arts centre for the visual, performing, literary and media arts and for the revitalization of Ottawa's downtown.
“This new facility will help to establish a renewed urban arts and cultural hub in Ottawa,” said Councillor Mark Taylor, Chair of the Community and Protective Services Committee. “With museums and major cultural venues like the National Arts Centre and the National Gallery all within a short walk of Arts Court, this development sets the stage for the downtown core to come alive as a vibrant and dynamic arts district.”
City Council voted unanimously last November in favour of funding and initiating the procurement process for this project, which will include a new and larger Ottawa Art Gallery. The space will incorporate a 250-seat multi-purpose and film screening room, along with a new 120-seat theatre and four classrooms for the University of Ottawa. Space in Arts Court vacated by the OAG will also be repurposed and the old and new buildings will be connected on four floors to establish an integrated and accessible facility.
“This is exciting news for the region’s local arts and culture enthusiasts, but even more than that the project is welcome news for surrounding businesses and services,” said Rideau-Vanier Ward Councillor Mathieu Fleury. “The new development will bring people into the area from across the city, bolstering economic development in Ottawa’s core.”
Arts Court is a multi-disciplinary arts facility that currently houses 25 arts organizations, including the Ottawa Art Gallery (OAG). The facility, which opened in 1988, is owned and operated by the City of Ottawa.
