It seems the Ottawa Senators are one step closer to a new downtown arena.
The Senators and the National Capital Commission announced an agreement for the purchase and sale of approximately 11 acres of land parcels in the LeBreton Flats neighborhood near Parliament Hill, the team announced Monday.
The club will pay just more than $30 million for the land, the Ottawa Citizen reported.
'We are pleased to reach an agreement of purchase and sale with the NCC to take the next step in this process,' Senators president and CEO Cyril Leeder said in a statement. 'There are still many more hurdles to clear, and we look forward to working with the NCC and other stakeholders to achieve our shared vision of creating an event centre at LeBreton Flats that can be enjoyed by our Ottawa-Gatineau community.'
Some of those hurdles include zoning, design and approvals, as well as decontamination of the land ahead of construction.
The Senators and the NCC are planning on building an entertainment district in addition to a new rink. They reached an agreement in principle for the sale of the land in September 2024 after signing an arena deal in June 2022.
The Senators currently play at the Canadian Tire Centre in Kanata section of Ottawa, which is roughly 15 miles away from downtown Ottawa. They will celebrate their 30th anniversary in the arena in January.
