Nascent (Tisdale) Inc., together with Nascent (Tisdale) LP, is in court-appointed receivership in Ontario, commenced March 31, 2021 under section 243(1) of the Bankruptcy and Insolvency Act and section 101 of the Courts of Justice Act. Fiera FP Real Estate Financing Fund, L.P. — the applicant and senior secured creditor under loan documents and security over the property at 78 Tisdale Avenue, Toronto — obtained the appointment of Grant Thornton Limited as receiver and manager. The receiver disclaimed the Sage Development Corporation agreement on May 19, 2021, on the same terms as the pre-construction agreements held by 19 purchasers, whose deposits it believes were fully expended before its appointment. A $250,000 deposit had been paid toward a $4,400,000 purchase price for Blocks 5 and 6 under the Sage agreement. Aviva Insurance Company of Canada holds a deposit surety bond, and the City of Toronto is owed unpaid property taxes.
