History

MacEwan Station in winter

Construction of the first phase of the project that links the station with Churchill station began in fall 2009 with completion originally set for early 2014.[4]

It was announced on August 31, 2009, that the Katz Group had bought the land adjacent to the site for the MacEwan Station, with the intention to build Rogers Place, a new NHL arena.[5] That development became known as the Ice District.
