Buffalo Hotel and Club Café to be demolished in coming weeks
Demolition work of the old Buffalo Hotel and Club Café, which are adjacent to each other in downtown Red Deer, is set to begin later this month.
The City announced it had purchased the properties at 5021 and 5023 Ross Street last December, with the intent to redevelop the area.
The City says tender for demolition has been awarded to Bettenson’s Sand & Gravel.
The process will start with internal abatement work, with very little impact to roads, sidewalks and neighbouring buildings, and will be followed by more intensive demolition, requiring sidewalk closures, and for a short period, road closures on Ross Street and Gaetz Avenue, The City notes. Final timelines for demolition will be determined by the abatement work happening first on the site.
