Report Number 1.0 | November 28, 2024
To establish the construction costs of the buildings, our assessments took into consideration the following
factors:
3.1 Location
Consideration of a property’s location is a significant factor when estimating construction costs. Canada is
particularly susceptible to this factor given the country’s size and distribution of population throughout the
provinces. Our assessment process involved verifying the location of each property by town or city and
province. BTY Group have offices located throughout Canada and therefore we have used our local offices to
capture the relevant cost data. This local market intelligence has provided us with sound benchmark
information for which to base our pricing.
3.5 Areas
The gross floor area (GFA) was measured from the as-built drawings provided by Stantec, and used as the basis
for estimating the construction costs. A building’s GFA can be defined as the total floor area of the building
including the external walls, and excluding the roof.
L ocation Total
Parkade (P3) 2,815 m²
Parkade (P2) 2,507 m²
Parkade (P1) 2,495 m²
Level 1 974 m²
Level 2 1,922 m²
Level 3 2,273 m²
Level 4 2,273 m²
Penthouse 1,009 m²
Total Gross Floor Area 16,267 m²

Construction unit rates have been obtained from our own in-house construction cost library and from current
construction projects BTY are involved with. Where possible, recent tenders and quotations are used for
comparative purposes. In the circumstance where specific 2024 cost data was not available, unit rates have
been updated, taking into consideration escalation over the period for the location. Construction costs were
then calculated by multiplying the gross floor area (ft²) by the unit rate ($/ft²).
The costs provided represent the replacement construction costs of the asset, assuming replacement of a
comparable building in the same location, constructed to a similar specification, and to meet the current
building code.
