2025 construction start, $600M budget, new Vancouver Art Gallery building delayed to unspecified time after 2028.

Vancouver Art Gallery's new building construction, initially estimated at $400M, has increased to $600M due to escalating costs. The project's timeline has been delayed, with a new start date expected in 2025, and the opening now set for an unspecified time beyond 2028. Art Gallery Director Anthony Kiendl is seeking support from the arts, film, and university communities to share the costs and is working on cost-saving revisions with architects Herzog & de Meuron.
