Committee Recommendations
The Government Management Committee submits this item to City Council without recommendation.
Origin
Summary
This report provides an update on the St. Lawrence Market North redevelopment initiative, including a revised business case based on current market conditions and forecasts.
The forecast cost for the building has risen from $74.89 million originally provided in the 2010 Capital Budget and 2011-2019 Capital Plan to a current estimate of $91.46 million. It is recommended that design work continue, and the necessary budget adjustment(s) be referred to the 2014 Capital Budget Process. The principal benefits that will result from the project's completion include:
• Significant improvement to a City landmark and tourist destination
• Improved compatibility with the heritage character of other buildings in the St. Lawrence Market complex and neighborhood
• Increased parking capacity (through the construction of 250 new underground spaces) which will replace some of the local parking currently being lost as a result of new building developments in the area
• Service improvements resulting from the consolidation of Court Services operations into one location (this service would otherwise be accommodated in three locations)
• Creation of attractive new interior spaces that can be used for a variety of community and commercial purposes
