On Tuesday, September 7, the Corporate Services and Economic Development Committee passed a motion approving a two-stage process for leasing or selling the air rights for close to 300,000 sq. ft of residential and office buildings at Lansdowne Park. (This is in addition to the retail being developed by OSEG). This motion will not even go to City Council for further discussion because staff have delegated authority to proceed. It's not at all obvious how leasing or selling air rights is in accordance with Council's June 2010 motion to keep Lansdowne Park in public ownership.
