This offering was open to the development community for a period of 12 weeks, with responses received on February 9, 2023. Under the direction of a Fairness Monitor, responses were reviewed, evaluated, and scored, resulting in a shortlist of preferred proponents (the "Shortlisted Proponents") that were identified to be invited to respond to an upcoming Request for Proposal ("RFP") as Stage Two of the Two-Stage Market Offering Process for the redevelopment of the Properties. CreateTO is proposing to invite the Shortlisted Proponents identified in Confidential Attachment 2 to participate in the future Stage Two RFP process, which is scheduled to begin in the second quarter of 2023.
