Several months have now passed since the official sales and investment solicitation process (SISP) for The One concluded and Tridel has already been chosen to complete the troubled project, but that did not stop a mysterious entity from recently submitting a bid to buy the project that was started by Mizrahi Developments. The sales process for The One — the 85-storey mixed-use tower set for 1 Bloor Street West in Toronto — was launched in June 2024 and concluded just before the end of the year.

On a fall morning in Ottawa, Janice Myers stood before a ballroom filled with industry leaders from across Canada. It was October, and after months of painstaking negotiations, meticulous planning and coast-to-coast listening tours, Myers had finally secured the vote to spin Realtor.ca into a standalone subsidiary.

Reflecting on that milestone, Myers says, “Getting to the ‘yes’ vote in October was one of the most prideful moments of my career…it was just my emotions of getting to that point.…

The good news is the country doesn’t need millions of homes to correct the housing shortage, according to BMO Capital Markets. In a new report, the Big Six bank argues that decades of underbuilding is a myth, and the issue was manufactured post-pandemic. Consequently, the acute shortage is much smaller than framed, and could be tackled without unrealistic promises. Canada Is Promising To Build Millions of Houses Based On A Myth Canadians are under the impression that the country has underbuilt housing for decades. Consequently,…
