Four teams have been shortlisted to win the $6.7 million contract to reimagine Nepean Point, the National Capital Commission announced Thursday.

The iconic site occupies a total area of 2.5 hectares, including Nepean Point, the north sidewalk of St. Patrick Street, the triangular traffic island at the junction of St. Patrick and Mackenzie Avenue, a Sussex Drive entrance adjacent to the National Gallery and a small portion of Major Hill’s Park.

The first phase will replace the 50-year-old Astrolabe theatre and spruce up the area around the Samuel de Champlain statue.

Subsequent phases of the redevelopment include a footbridge linking Nepean Point and Major Hill’s Park.

The finalists are:

  • Marc Ryan (Public Work, KPMB Architects, Blackwell)
  • Janet Rosenberg (Janet Rosenberg & Studio, Patkau Architects, Blackwell, ERA Architects)
  • Vincent Asselin (WAA Landscape Architecture, Tectoo Architecture, Milan Ingegneria)
  • Adriaan Geuze (West 8, Barry Padolsky Ass., Fotenn)

A jury of five experts reviewed 26 submissions and selected the finalists on the basis of their qualifications and previous work, the NCC said in a media release.

Each team will now prepare an overall design concept, a detailed design for Nepean Point, a design of a pedestrian bridge linking Major’s Hill Park and Nepean Point, and a gathering place for events and programming

Final proposals are due in September. The NCC will unveil the finalists’ designs in October and name a winner in November.

The first phase of construction is expected to begin in 2019.
