Jasmine Bradley, a spokesperson for the Vancouver Art Gallery, told Daily Hive Urbanized today the entire construction project is expected to take about 48 months, which would peg the new building’s completion and opening sometime in 2028.
The entire project carries a $400 million budget, including $350 million for the actual project of designing, planning, and constructing the new building and $50 million for an operational endowment upon opening.
Bradley says the VAG has now raised over $352 million — up from $345 million at the time of the September 2023 ceremonial groundbreaking. This means the VAG has fully covered its new building costs, with efforts now focused on reaching the endowment target.
Ledcor is the general on the project. The first step is to demolish an existing structure and parking garage and then remediate the site. Over the first few months of work, construction crews will be digging down a level to remove contaminated soil and a retaining wall.
The above-ground work will involve cranes and heavy equipment and will likely start in spring of 2025.
“Construction is supposed to be 48 months from March 5 and then probably a six-month moving process,” says Kiendl. “We’re currently looking at the fall of 2028.”
