Station Point Developments

Station Point Developments, a company developing and constructing a 112 unit rental residential apartment in Edmonton, Alberta, was placed in receivership on June 17 on application by Kingsett, owed approximately $11.9MM. Construction of the project commenced in 2016 but has been plagued by a host of problems including being behind schedule, cost overruns, builders' liens being registered against the property and a litigious dispute between the developer and its general contractor, Fortis LGS Structures. The company was unable to repay its loan to KingSett when it matured in February 2019 and KingSett is unwilling to fund the estimated $6.9MM that is required to complete the project without the appointment of a trustee who has the ability to obtain construction advances from KingSett on a secured and first priority basis. KSV was appointed receiver. Counsel is McCarthy Tétrault for the applicant and Bennett Jones for the receiver.
