If a downtown arena gets city approval, the Katz Group hopes to push ahead this spring with $2-billion worth of nearby development at the same time the new facility is being built.

Their plans include a 26-floor luxury hotel, two condos at least 35 storeys tall, two office towers reaching up to 32 storeys and six other buildings, along with an open-air plaza in the current parking lot on the south side of 104th Avenue.

Main anchor tenants are expected to include a VIP theatre complex, a grocery store and the headquarters of a major telecommunications company, according to a 60-page overview of the district by the Katz Group and partner WAM Development Group.
