| Aecon to build Canada’s largest IKEA in Ottawa Toronto based construction giant Aecon Group Inc. announced that its Buildings Division has secured a Construction Management contract to complete the construction of Canada's largest IKEA, to be built in Ottawa. Located at the west end of Pinecrest Mall, the new store development will consist of approximately 398, 000 square feet of showroom, market, warehouse, administration, shop and restaurant space distributed throughout two floors. The building incorporates such sustainable initiatives as water-conserving plumbing fixtures, and skylights to reduce the need for artificial lighting. The new store will be three times the size of the chain's existing Ottawa location. The project also includes the remodelling of the existing mall. Construction has already begun, and is expected to be complete by late 2011. write your comments about the article :: © 2010 Construction News :: home page |
