The National Capital Commission has announced the finalists in the international design competition for the redevelopment of Nepean Point, a historic and picturesque public space, and one of the Capital?s most iconic lookouts.
A jury of five experts reviewed 26 submissions and selected the finalists on the basis of their qualifications and previous work. The finalists are:

Ryan (PUBLIC WORK, KPMB Architects, Blackwell)
Rosenberg (Janet Rosenberg & Studio, Patkau Architects, Blackwell, ERA Architects)
Asselin (WAA Landscape Architecture, Tectoo Architecture, Milan Ingegneria)
Geuze (West 8, Barry Padolsky, Fotenn)

Each team will now prepare a proposal that includes: an overall design concept; a development plan for the entire site; a detailed design for Nepean Point; a design of a pedestrian bridge linking Major?s Hill Park and Nepean Point; a gathering place for events and programming; and various other facilities. The deadline for the submission of final proposals is September 20, 2017. The NCC will host a public exhibition and open house of the finalists? designs on October 5, 2017. The goal is to announce a winning design team in November 2017, as part of Canada?s 150th anniversary celebrations. The first phase of construction is planned for 2019-2020.

The redevelopment of Nepean Point is one of 17 milestone projects in the NCC?s Plan for Canada?s Capital, 2017-2067.
