New home for Calgary Flames estimated to cost up to $600 million
CALGARY — An event centre in Calgary that would also be the new home of the NHL’s Flames is estimated to cost between $550 million and $600 million.
A city council event centre committee was presented that number Friday by the president and chief executive officer of the Calgary Municipal Land Corporation.
“I’m very confident we can deliver a really good building for the citizens of Calgary as well as for Calgary Sports and Entertainment for that number,” Michael Brown told the committee.
“It’s a strong number. It has respectable contingency in it. What’s not included is the cost of land associated with it.”
