I'm saying that
a) Redevelopment of the parking lot will require building structured parking to replace the existing surface parking, in addition to new parking for the development
b) The market already shows that this is something people are willing to pay for, as seen in 155 Caroline, which replaces parking for Bauer.
Since I already did a bit of googling, see page 6 of this report, for relative costs of parking construction, but it was not my intent to get into a disagreement over where one draws the line of "expensive" parking.
Yes, I agree with you.
I think our lines got crossed. I originally mentioned including public parking in it as well but said there likely wouldn't be the public will to do it given the price.
You're right if it's simply a developer providing parking for sunlife, they'd eat the cost.
