Trump and a Bad real estate Decision

Trump

Trump and a Bad real estate Decision

Ontario Real Estate Source

By Brian Madigan LL.B.

You would think that these words wouldn’t go together in one sentence.

But, here’s the problem: The new Trump building at the corner of Bay and Adelaide in the heart of the financial district in Toronto has a real issue.

Bay Street is THE Street in Toronto. That’s the address for the head offices of the big five banks. It’s like Wall Street in New York or Pennsylvania Avenue in Washington.

Everyone knows Bay Street. Few outside Toronto have ever heard of Adelaide Street.

The TrumpTower sits at the southeast corner of the intersection. So, where do they place the SERVICE ENTRANCE??? All along Bay Street!!! The Bay frontage is dominated by the service entrance to the underground garage. The front entrance is placed on Adelaide.

It doesn’t make any sense to me. Then again, I’m not a real estate billionaire.

OMB and Rules of Natural Justice

OMB and Rules of Natural Justice

Ontario Real Estate Source

By Brian Madigan LL.B.

The Ontario Municipal Board exercises jurisdiction (by way of appeal) under several different statutes including the Municipal Act, the Planning Act and the Expropriations Act among others.

However, when it comes to its own internal procedures, the OMB is subject to:

1) the rules of natural justice, and

2) the Statutory Powers and Procedures Act.

So, it will conduct its hearings in accordance with the above, no matter what, but it will get its authority to act in respect to one matter or another from other legislation.
