The proposed Nordic spa at Fort Edmonton Park is dead in the water.
Fort Edmonton Management Co. (FEMCo) announced Friday that the organization and the Edmonton Nordic Spa group have “dissolved their partnership,” according to a news release.
“Both organizations worked hard to find commercially viable common ground, but in the end we could not make it work,” said Darren Dalgleish president and CEO of Fort Edmonton Management Company in a release.
The managing partner of the Edmonton Nordic Spa group said in the release that the two groups were “not successful in finding a solution that had long-term sustainability for both organizations.”
The nordic spa was originally planned to open next fall.
The spa was set to be discussed at a public hearing on Monday but has since been removed from the agenda, the release said.
The spa would have been on two acres of city-owned land.
The proposed development site currently hosts an overflow parking lot and runs parallel to the North Saskatchewan River.
Members of the Edmonton Nordic Spa group still want to open a spa and have started to look for a site.
