Over the past three years, the Toronto Parking Authority (TPA) has been committed to restoring, refurbishing, and enhancing the condition of its facilities. Our State of Good Repair (SOGR) strategy is a structured, facility-by-facility approach designed to systematically assess, repair, restore, and refurbish each site before moving on to the next. This proactive strategy ensures long-term asset sustainability and enhances user experience. By comprehensively addressing each facility, Toronto Parking Authority ensures its assets remain safe, reliable, and aligned with evolving user expectations while also maximizing long-term value and operational efficiency.

The purpose of this paper is to seek authorization from the Board of Directors, Toronto Parking Authority (TPA), for the garage restoration project located at 29 Holly Street (Car Park 29) valued at $4.5 million in base scope, plus $341 thousand in selected optional items, plus $1.5 million as a contingency allowance, being the sum total of $6.3 million excluding Harmonized Sales Tax (HST).

Car Park 29 is a 48-year-old, 5-level open-air parking structure with approximately 449 spaces in the Yonge and Eglinton neighbourhood. The garage includes a 17-storey, 170-unit Toronto Community Housing building integrated into and above the parking structure. Car Park 29 is consistently profitable, with 2023 and 2024 gross revenues of $1.3 million and $1.3 million, respectively.

Toronto Parking Authority retained Engineering Link Inc.
