A consortium that includes Brookfield Financial Corp. and PCL Constructors Inc. has been awarded a fixed-price contract with a projected value of $270.7 million to design, build, finance and maintain the Quinte Consolidated courthouse in Belleville.

Brookfield Partnerships Quinte was selected as the preferred proponent last month for the courthouse, which will be located at Coleman and Bridge Streets.

The value of the contract in current 2011 dollars is $247.4 million. When adjusted for the anticipated inflation over 30 years, the value is estimated at $270.7 million.

The facility was designed by WZMH Architects of Toronto, formerly known as the Webb, Zerafa, Menkes, Housden Partnership. PCL will provide construction services while Morguard Corp. will provide facilities management.
