*NEW* Has the City provided any more information about Harbour Terrace?

Yes, as follows:

“The City will offer a modified 10 year pre-payment amount (calculated using same assumptions of land value, rent escalation rate, discount rate as the 20 year extension prepayment, other than length of term which is amended to 10 years) for the existing harbour Terrace Program for the […]

When will the end of lease payment be determined, now or at lease end? I believe the condition of our building is a factor in the calculation and we are about to start a 8 million dollar restoration.

At lease end.

In the past, new owners were able to extend leases using the older (2018+) scheme by having the existing owners extend their lease as part of the purchase agreement. Will this option be available (noting this question relates to how long the proposed renewal scheme will be available for existing owners)?

All of the leases for the strata units at Harbour Terrace were unilaterally extended by the City by 10 years from 2040 to 2050. The existing offer for prepayment for those 10 years regards prepayment if the leaseholder agrees to modifications about lease end value.

Considering that some owners took advantage of the older (2018+) renewal scheme years after it was initially offered (e.g. 2020), is the older renewal scheme still available to existing owners today?

As far as we understand, yes.

Will the proposed lease extension supersede the Harbour Terrace 2050 Lease Extension contract?

The City is considering all of this now. We expect that if you’re in Harbour Terrace and you accept the new modification offer, you’ll receive another 10 years. What will be in discussion is how you get credit for the 10 years if you have already prepaid. If you didn’t take the previous […]

How does the Aggregate Land Value calculation for the proposed Lease Extension differ from the formula used for the 2040 to 2050 Lease Extension for Harbour Terrace?

The rent and subsequent prepayment calculations for the latter were based on another method used by the arbitrator in rent prepayment disputes some years ago.

Originally the Harbour Terrace offer for prepayment was optional. I’m wondering why this is not an option now and if we can have an option? Is there any way that the CIty would think about the benefit of payment at lease expiry?

2022-09-01T17:11:38+00:00August 31st, 2022|Categories: |

The original offer is still in place, subject to what the City may decide to do going forward. Part of how we got the five-year offer period to remain open was to give everybody a good long while to think about things, figure out what they might want to do, sell, refinance, etc.

My unit is already prepaid until 2040. Do I need to pay for a 10-year extension or 20-year extension in October this year?

2022-09-01T17:11:38+00:00August 31st, 2022|Categories: |

This is best answered at the Harbour Terrace strata-specific meeting. The City is working on how to manage and roll that previous extension into the current lease extension. We expect to have a clearer explanation in the next week or so.

If individual owners accept the lease modification of […]

How is this different from the Harbour Terrace (HT) extension/offer? Can someone explain the net difference between the proposed end-of-lease payment scheme and the older (2018+) scheme that was offered to owners, some of whom extended their leases to 2050? Does the End of Lease Buyout formula for the proposed Lease Extension differ from the formula used for the 2040 to 2050 Lease Extension for Harbour Terrace?

2022-09-01T17:11:38+00:00August 31st, 2022|Categories: |

All HT owners were given a unilateral 10-year extension by the City. And an offer to prepay the extension if they accepted modifications to LISL. To our knowledge, only 2 owners have accepted the rent pre-payment offer to date and as such, the lease modifications.

Rent prepayment for the […]
