In this case, the City happened to have a bit of control through land ownership (not policies or bylaws). If the City didn't transfer the land, the building would've just been built in a slightly different location on the College Ave Campus.
(I was going to note that WCA also has the power to expropriate land... but the legislation specifically excludes land owned by the 'participating parties' (City, Prov, and UofR) from expropriation by WCA, so that wouldn't apply).
