They (CAA ICON) really helped shepherd us through some difficult times both during the negotiation phase with the City and the efforts to find ways to maximize on the impact per dollar spent. I think that they can justifiably look at those outcomes with a great measure of pride and the recognition they played a real valuable role in achieving those outcomes.
The New Standard
The 18,641-seat multipurpose venue is the centerpiece of a downtown revitalization project known as ICE District. Among its many significant features are a lower bowl of over 9,000 seats, terrific sight lines, wide concourses, leading food and beverage offerings, and the latest in technology. The arena is the first LEED Silver-certified NHL Facility in Canada and features the largest centre-hung high-definition arena scoreboard in the NHL.
The fan-friendly arena features a loge level, two tiers of table seating between the upper and lower decks for 800 fans with access to an open concourse that has free-standing bars and food service locations. The project also includes a 1,000-seat community rink attached to the arena and a large 25,000 sf grand atrium, Ford Hall, which serves as a gathering place as well as an event space to host stand-alone events throughout the year.
Services Provided
CAA ICON was hired in 2010 to provide Feasibility and Planning services and created a Project Development Plan that ultimately was used a part of the negotiations to reach a deal with the City of Edmonton for a new arena. Once a deal was reached, CAA ICON provided the full scope of services for Project Management:
- Activate
