The City of Toronto proposed to expropriate leasehold and freehold lands owned by Brookfield for the Bloor-Yonge Capacity Improvement project, specifically to relocate a chiller plant.
Brookfield opposed the expropriation of the leasehold lands as premature and the full freehold taking as excessive.
The Ontario Land Tribunal held a hearing of necessity and found that the proposed construction is for a critical public purpose with a strict schedule.
The Tribunal recommended that the expropriations proceed as proposed.
