OVERVIEW

Bousfields Inc. was retained by Woodbine International Centre Corporation and Woodbine International Hotel Corporation (later King Square Limited) to provide planning services relating to the development of 4.64 hectares of vacant land located on the north side of Markland Street, west of Woodbine Avenue in the City of Markham.

In addition, Bousfields Inc. also represented the client at the Committee of Adjustment for various consent and minor variance applications. Site works for Phase 1 of the development are currently underway.
