A consortium of developers has been chosen to complete the $100-million Ottawa Art Gallery expansion and Arts Court redevelopment.
A staff report in advance of next week’s finance committee meeting recommends the consortium of EBC Inc., DevMcGill and Groupe Germain for the project, following a competitive procurement process.
Both the finance committee and council still need to sign off on the selection.
The site, adjacent to the Rideau Centre, will feature the private-sector development of a 21-storey mixed-use tower at 60-70 Waller St., which 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,” Mayor Jim Watson said in a statement.
“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.”
According to the city, the project represents a public-private investment of more than $100 million. 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 visual, performing, literary and media arts and for the revitalization of Ottawa’s downtown.
Last November, council voted 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 gallery will also be repurposed and the old and new buildings will be connected on four floors.
Arts Court is a multi-disciplinary arts facility that currently houses 25 arts organizations, including the Ottawa Art Gallery. The facility, which opened in 1988, is owned and operated by the City of Ottawa.
More to come.
