Construction has begun on two new restaurants at the water’s edge.
The former Parks Canada Discovery Centre on Pier 8 is being transformed into two restaurants. Officials from the Waterfront Trust, who took over the building last year, have officially signed a lease for the venues but say it’s too early to give any further details.
The two new restaurants are expected to be open by spring 2012. One restaurant will be Italian fine dining, while the other will be a more casual smokehouse grill equipped with a stage for live entertainment and a dance floor. It will also have a 13,000-square-foot patio.
Parks Canada closed the Discovery Centre, dubbed “Canada’s first virtual urban national park,” in 2010 amid dwindling attendance. After the closure, the Waterfront Trust took over the building and signed a 43-year lease to manage the site.
