The building will be handed over to the city June 1.
"Site set-up and hazardous material abatement of the building will begin right away, taking about two to three months, with demolition of the building to be complete towards the end of this year," reads a statement on the City of Calgary's website.
Joey Eau Claire and Local Public Eatery will continue to operate, along with a section of the south parking lot.
Eau Claire opened in 1993 with hopes it would become Calgary's version of Vancouver's Granville Island, but the market never found its footing.

Now the hope is the area will be transformed into a multi-use hub with residential, office, retail and entertainment spaces.
