If eventually approved for the downtown west end, construction of the proposed CalgaryNEXT development likely won’t start for another three years, said a source familiar with the project.

And it will include commercial and residential components along with a new arena for the Calgary Flames and a stadium-fieldhouse which will be shared by the Calgary Stampeders and the public.

“I would liken it to Lansdowne Park in Ottawa,” said the source, who spoke on the condition of anonymity.

“It will be a sports and entertainment area.

“It would be similar to East Village but certainly not as dense ... you would have hotels and highrises and some office buildings and complexes and all that in the scenario.

“The whole concept is it will incorporate that whole area.”
