Phase One at West Harbour City is a city-block bounded by Fleet Street on the south, future Bastion Street and June Callwood Park on the west, Grand Magazine Street on the 2 The Fife and Drum
The public-art element will take the form of a frieze at the third-storey level to be designed by one of six competing artists–James Carl, Carlo Cesta, Christian Eckhart, Nelson Kruger and the team of Susan Schelle and Mark Gomes–with the winner to be chosen by a five-person jury of curators,
artists, and representatives of Quadrangle and Plazacorp. Their choice, expected to cost about $1 million to execute, will be announced in May. To make way for Phase One the largest Molson building will be demolished shortly, and construction will follow in the Spring. Later phases of West Harbour City will have their own public-art elements too, although these have yet to be worked
out in detail. In Phase Two on the block east of Phase One the contribution is proposed to be “small gestures” having an artistic theme related to Fort York and costing about $250,000. In Phase Three on the block north of Phase One it is proposed to be an enrichment of June Callwood Park and is budgeted at about $200,000.
