Calgary's New Landmark Takes Shape
Construction on Scotia Place, the highly anticipated replacement for the aging Scotiabank Saddledome, is progressing steadily in Calgary's Victoria Park district. The massive project, which officially broke ground in July 2024, is now visibly transforming the city's skyline.
Construction Milestones Achieved
The development reached a significant phase when below-ground work commenced in April. Construction crews have been working diligently, and the event centre is now beginning to take form at street level. Recent photographs from October 2025 show substantial activity at the future site of the events centre, indicating rapid progress.
According to the latest reports, the project remains on schedule, with the arena expected to open its doors in the fall of 2027. This timeline positions the new facility to become Calgary's premier destination for major concerts, sporting events, and entertainment spectacles.
A New Era for Calgary Events
The rise of Scotia Place marks a pivotal moment for Calgary's urban development and cultural landscape. Located in the vibrant Victoria Park neighbourhood, the new events centre promises to revitalize the area while providing state-of-the-art facilities for both performers and attendees.
The project represents a significant investment in Calgary's future, ensuring the city remains competitive in attracting world-class entertainment and sporting events. As construction continues, residents and visitors alike can watch as this new architectural landmark becomes a defining feature of Calgary's downtown core.
