The plan from Eugene Melnyk’s RendezVous LeBreton team has emerged as the highest ranked of two competing proposals for the redevelopment of 21.6 hectares of vacant land on LeBreton Flats.
The team, led by the Senators’ owner and John Ruddy, president of Trinity developments, received the most points during an evaluation by a high-powered committee chaired by the National Capital Commission’s head of planning, Stephen Willis.
The competing proposal, from the Devore Canderel DLS Group, was rated lower but will remain in contention as a second choice.
The results were revealed during a presentation Thursday afternoon to the NCC’s board of directors.
The sprawling property just west of Ottawa’s downtown core has been largely vacant since the federal government expropriated the lands and demolished the buildings on it in the 1960s.
After half a century of tire spinning, moving ahead with its redevelopment has been a top priority of NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson.
In 2014, the NCC invited private sector proponents to submit ideas for the development of the LeBreton land, built around an anchor use of national and international significance.
Ultimately, only two teams developed full-fledged development plans: RendezVous LeBreton and the Devcore Canderel DLS Group.
The latter has the backing of three billionaires: Power Corp. president André Desmarais, Guy Laliberté, founder of Cirque du Soleil, and William Sinclair, co-founder and former president of JDS Uniphase.
The two teams presented their plans at an open house on Jan. 27. Both include an arena, a central library and extensive residential, commercial and retail elements.
The Devcore Canderel DLS plan is full of flash and pizzazz, featuring an aquarium, a planetarium, several museums, a skate park and a skydiving attraction.
RendezVous LeBreton’s plan focuses on a new downtown arena that would house Melnyk’s Senators and major events. It also includes a restored “heritage aqueduct” lined with shops and cafes and an Abilities Centre catering to disabled and able-bodied athletes.
The five-member evaluation committee, which included also architect A.J. Diamond, planner Mark Conway, NCC chief executive Mark Kristmanson, spent about two months rating the competing proposals on a dozen different criteria.
