Applicant lead and construction team for Bird Design-Build Construction Inc. is Bird Design Build Construction Inc.; design team Diamond Schmitt Architects and IBI Group Architects; and the financial adviser is Bird Capital Limited Partnership.
Teams will now begin preparing proposals that detail how they will deliver the project. Once submissions are received, IO and the City of Toronto will evaluate the proposals, select a preferred team and then negotiate a final contract.
The successful bidder is expected to be announced in summer 2023.
