You don't get SHA to built it, you get private contractors. But once it's built, then SHA owns it (and can even contract out the management, if needed). It's the same as how government owns most of its buildings...even though the government isn't in the business of buildings.

No reason to make the parkade more expensive just to make a profit for a third party.

A better example would be saying you want to live in a house (and have the money), but instead of buying one, you pay to have someone build one and then rent it from them. If you're already paying to build it, then why not own it?
