OverviewSummary updated

LJM Developments (Hamilton) Inc. commenced CCAA proceedings in Ontario on February 10, 2026, its Notice of Application putting claims against the company at approximately $30,700,000. Construction trades have registered liens totalling approximately $5,740,304.85 against title to the unsold condominium units, described as substantially all of the company's assets and said to be unsaleable while the liens stand. The Canada Revenue Agency asserts a deemed trust claim of approximately $12,500,000 for HST arrears, and the City of Hamilton was owed $7,685,223 as at February 6, 2026 under two development charge mortgages registered against the real property. The construction lender, DUCA Financial Services Credit Union Ltd., was repaid in full on or around July 31, 2025 from unit sale proceeds and its mortgage discharged. The proceeding is active.

#Report

The officer filed report no. Supplement to the Third Report. The Applicant remains in operation under CCAA protection, with four employees, and is completing the Project and selling Unsold Units. It lacks sufficient liquidity to continue through the proposed Extended Stay Period without further Surety DIP Facility borrowings, which together with unit sale proceeds are projected to fund operations through January 15, 2027.

Source: Supplement to the Third Report of the Monitor - 2026.07.09

#Report

The officer filed report no. Third Report. The Applicant continues operating in the normal course under CCAA protection: marketing and selling its unsold condominium units (one sale closed, one more expected in July), addressing Tarion warranty and remaining construction work, and funding operations via the Surety DIP Facility, while the Monitor continues reviewing the use of about $19 million of excess sale proceeds and seeks expanded powers.

#Sale

The court granted an approval and vesting order for the sale to Chandreshbhai Arvindbhai Darji and Dhara Chandreshbhai Darji. Closing terms, as extracted: Vesting of the Purchased Assets in the Purchasers takes effect upon delivery of the Monitor's Certificate to the Purchasers, substantially in the form of Schedule A.

Source: Approval and Vesting Order (Unit 1403) - 2026.06.19

#Report

The officer filed report no. Supplement to the Second Report. The Monitor reports on its independent analysis supporting the Target Price List for the Unsold Units and the need to keep it sealed. It also reports on negotiated amendments to the sale and lien claims orders (sale proceeds held in trust by the Monitor), the HCRA MOU, and stakeholder correspondence, and supports the relief sought at the April 8 hearing.

#Report

The officer filed report no. Second Report. The Applicant is managing operations in the normal course while stabilizing the business, with four employees, addressing Tarion warranty claims and remaining construction to complete the Project, and preparing to sell its 55 unsold condominium units through a court-supervised unit sale process.

Source: Second Report of the Monitor - 2026.03.27

#Report

The officer filed report no. First Report. The Applicant is in CCAA proceedings with no Unit sales ongoing and no proceeds coming in, so operations and the substantially complete Project (remaining construction, deficiency and warranty work) depend on the Surety DIP Facility; the Monitor supports access to at least $1.6 million of it and a stay extension to April 3, 2026.

Source: First Report of the Monitor - 2026.02.26

#Report

The officer filed report no. First Report. The Applicant has not drawn on the DIP Facility, and the Monitor reports it has completed its material duties under the Initial Order. The Applicant is a single-purpose condominium developer with 55 Unsold Units, and the report centres on Aviva's proposal to replace the DIP lender and to replace SLF with KPMG as Monitor.

AnalysisAll insights⁠

Case update

LJM Tower: the $19 million, and the power to ask where it went

Once its construction lender was repaid, LJM Tower's developer received $19,043,030.60 of sale proceeds. KPMG, made monitor at surety Aviva's request, has traced about $11.5 million to related entities and persons, says some transfers could be preferences or transfers at undervalue, and on July 10 won power to compel documents and examine under oath.
