Intracorp paid $41m for the 63 unit strata building. That sounds like they offered to pay something like assessed value, maybe plus a small amount. Only 80% of the owners have to agree to the buyout.
Faced with a potential special assessment that could be at least $200,000 per owner, it's not too surprising that they agreed to sell. There are a number of strata buildings in the Broadway corridor with similar issues that are candidates for redevelopment.
