In August , the Alberta government announced it would be tearing down the former Royal Alberta Museum .

Ivan Beljan , owner of Beljan Development , says his vision for repurposing the space is a better option.

Beljan 's plan would revitalize the space as a community hub with a boutique grocer, micro-brewery, cafe, and more.

The RAM was recognized as a “global heritage stone” in 2023 .

Former Royal Alberta Museum to be torn down, site turned into park.

Alberta government says it's committed to redeveloping the site into a family-friendly park and green space.

The government has already started on asbestos removal, which Beljan says is a good thing and that his firm would have had to do that anyway.
