en.Wedoany.com Reported - The Ontario government has awarded a $198 million contract to design and build a new provincial parking structure at Ontario Place.

Pomerleau Inc. has been selected for the project, which will include up to 3,500 parking spaces, 680 electric vehicle charging stations, and bicycle parking facilities. Arcadis Professional Services (Canada) Inc. serves as the design lead.

The five-story above-ground structure will feature bus drop-off and pick-up areas, as well as landscaping designed to seamlessly connect the building with the surrounding park.

The parking facility will be located on an existing parking lot site south of Lake Shore Boulevard West. Once Ontario Place is fully operational, it is expected to generate up to $60 million in total annual revenue for the provincial government.

After initially considering locating the parking lot underground at the new Ontario Science Centre, Premier Doug Ford and the City of Toronto agreed to explore moving it to the nearby Exhibition Place, but ultimately decided on an above-ground structure.

The broader Ontario Place redevelopment will include over 50 acres of free public pathways, expanded green spaces, playgrounds, interactive fountains, a new beach, event spaces, a modern marina, and a redesigned RBC Amphitheatre. The final design for the project was unveiled in June 2025.

Construction on the new, over $1 billion Science Centre began in May.
