Marmax will, however, cover all construction costs, amounting to several tens of millions of dollars. The final price will be determined based on the addition or not of other exterior infrastructures, explains Louis Simard, who was previously general manager of the 2 glaces Honco complex in Lévis.
The latter explains that it is mainly the rental of ice hours that will allow private investors to make their investment profitable. The holding of municipal sporting and cultural events at the new complex should also be profitable for the developer.
