Halifax stadium and entertainment district proposal fails to gain traction: developer
The $1.5 billion proposal for a 25,000-seat stadium and 8,000 homes collapsed after officials said Ridgehaven lacked a business case.
- An ambitious $1.5-billion stadium and entertainment project by U.S.-based Ridgehaven Holdings near Halifax Stanfield International Airport has collapsed after talks fell apart last year when the bid lacked key planning elements.
- Jason Brunt, president of Halifax-based Clayton Developments, says the proposal lacked a business plan, feasibility study, financial analysis and proof of capital.
- The proposed development was designed to include a 25,000-seat multi-use stadium, entertainment district and 8,000 homes near the airport.
- Brunt confirmed the land parcel has been sold to another buyer, while Delaware-based representatives declined to comment on the collapsed bid.
- With the land now in other hands, Halifax's development landscape shifts away from the Ridgehaven vision after Clayton Developments opted to pursue alternative qualified bidders.
