Open House: Inglewood Station Mixed Use Facility
ABOUT THE PROJECT
Integrated Civic Facility Planning
In 2015, Council directed Administration to adopt a strategy to build multi-service and mixed use facilities to utilize City-owned land more efficiently and allow multiple providers to operate one location to benefit communities. As a result, the Integrated Civic Facility Planning Program was created.
Previously, City facilities were often planned independently according to single service needs. By shifting to an integrated facility planning approach through the Integrated Civic Facility Program, The City of Calgary has been able to increase efficiencies, investment and partnerships, and better collaborate with community partners to build facilities that are truly reflective of thriving and evolving neighbourhoods.
Council Direction & Project Delivery
The Calgary Fire Department received Council-approved funding and direction in the 2019-2022 budget for constructing and operating a new Fire Station on the project site leading to a public selection process for a delivery partner through the Integrated Civic Facility Planning Program. In July 2020, in accordance with Council direction, The City of Calgary initiated a public competition through a Request for Proposals, inviting proponents to submit proposals to purchase the four parcels of City-owned land that make up the project site and lead the financing, planning, design, and development of the new Inglewood Station Mixed Use Facility.
Project Site
The project site is located at the corner of 12 ST and 11 AV SE, in the inner city community of Inglewood, just two blocks south of the 9 AV SE Main Street and one block north of the future Ramsay-Inglewood Green Line LRT Station.
The project site has been an integral part of Calgary Fire Department's long-term planning for growth and change for over 30 years. The original western portion of the site was purchased by The City of Calgary in 1986, recently supplemented by an additional land purchase in 2010 for the delivery of a new priority Fire Station.
