A Toronto-based developer has secured two settlement offer approvals for separate development projects after facing multiple challenges, including heritage designations and lengthy appeals processes.
After two years, and a number of appeals to the Ontario Land Tribunal, the Toronto -based developer secured two settlement offer approvals heading into the New Year.is ringing in the New Year with two settlement offer approvals for separate Toronto developments.
