Of all the new buildings built over the last 20 years, most are about 2 years from ground-breaking to grand opening. I believe Ottawa's was the quickest at just over 18 months, and Montreal's was the slowest at 3 months shy of 3 years.
Of course, Calgary is a long way from being ready to break ground, and if the scale of the plans are as big as is being suggested, it will be a while before the new arena is ready, and I can't see them rushing things.
