Construction commenced shortly after November 2018, to be completed within 30 months. In March 2020, Toronto Parking Authority was notified of insolvency proceedings, and by a Court Order dated March 30, 2020, PricewaterhouseCoopers LLP (the "Receiver") was appointed receiver and manager of the assets of 33 Yorkville Residences Inc. The Receiver has entered into an agreement of purchase and sale to sell the property and has requested Toronto Parking Authority / City consent for assignment of the agreements which secure the public parking garage construction obligation (the "TPA Agreements") to the successful proponent. The successful proponent has also requested amendments to the TPA Agreements, which fall outside the approval authority that has been delegated to City staff. Confidential Attachment 1 contains information relating to legal advice from the City Solicitor regarding potential next steps.
