New article discussing the breaking news of receivership is now live: https://urbantoronto.ca/news/2023/10/construction-continue-while-one-enters-receivership.54196
But why do YOU care?Hilarious that people ignored the warnings for years. We’ve been saying this would happen forever. It was obvious to anybody with a pulse.
I get that you guys like tall buildings but come on…
No delays and material shortages as well as inflation are ran up the cost on this project as it has on every other mega project when you calculate the budgets for these projects, they are based on the current price of labor and materials without taking inflation into account. Given them that at 1 point time we were seeing 10% inflation. It is understandable that this project would incur large losses, especially given that it sat for 2 years with two massive luffng cranes sitting idle on a plus note, the Jetta tower in Saudi Arabia just restarted constructionRight. The Covid delay caused this bright, shiny and sparkling clean project to lose $600 million. Right.
There is some sunk cost fallacy going on here. Complete the building in hopes of getting back the investment or abandoning and cutting losses. Tough to decide.Did you read the documents? Construction will resume as normal.
Whoops.

$1.6B in debt if we assume 5% rate (even though the mezz loans are probably 8-12%), that's running at a $219K per diem rate. Hard to imagine.Somebody will finish it in some form. And someone will make money doing it. Just not the original developer and investors...

According to the affidavit,$1.6B in debt if we assume 5% rate (even though the mezz loans are probably 8-12%), that's running at a $219K per diem rate. Hard to imagine.
In fact, the Globe & Mail article (posted here) stated that the receivership was requested by the lead lender as a condition for releasing the next tranche of loans. So paradoxically, construction would have stalled WITHOUT the receivership.Did you read the documents? Construction will resume as normal.
