Summary
The purpose of the report is to seek authority to enter into a construction and licence agreement with Hines 141 Bay Property Inc. and 141 Bay Street Property I Inc. (collectively, the "141 Bay Owner") for the construction and maintenance of the new North Bay Pedestrian Bridge at Union Station, and to amend the Corporate Real Estate Management capital budget to fund part of the interior adjustments to the east wing of Union Station. The North Bay Pedestrian Bridge will connect the publicly-accessible P.A.T.H. from Union Station to the new Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce head office building at 141 Bay Street, partially on City-owned land at Union Station.
Corporate Real Estate Management is proposing to add a new project called "North Bay Pedestrian Bridge Connection," with $1 million in project costs, and $150,000 of cash flow in 2021 and $850,000 of cash flow in 2022, fully funded by Section 37 (Planning Act Reserve Funds) community benefits from 1-7 The Esplanade. As the total project cost is currently estimated at $2.8 million pending project finalization, the 141 Bay Owner will fund the remaining $1.8 million and all future project costs, as part of the cost sharing agreement outlined in this report.
