You would think Holborn would have already tried to get the covenant removed. In the current situation it seems very unlikely RioCan or the court are likely to agree to anything until the legal status of the HBC building is all cut and dried.

I would thaink that it would be harder to incorporate parking into the Hudson's Bay building than, for comparison, at The Post where it was incorporated in a couple of levels above grade.
I don't recall the proposed redevelopment of the Hudson's Bay Building having any parking - just a "bike hub" -
so a covenant providing offsite parking may be valuable.
Another example of offsite parking may be for The Electra (former BC Hydro Building) having spaces at Electric Avenue (900 Burrard where Scotiabank Theatre is located).

In discussion with respect to Mr. Schnabl’s concern about the parking spaces being provided in this development
for Electra residents, Mr. Thomson suggested an amendment to condition A.1.10 to provide greater clarity.
...
Mr. Scobie commented that this is a very challenging application. Clearly, the Staff Committee also struggled with
the analysis and rationale and thought it fell short of the previously approved application. He said he hoped the
applicant will recognize the Board’s directive to demonstrate how the residential livability can work given the
departure from the normal building configuration, as well as resolve the vehicular access and parking for the
Electra - all in a way that works both for this building and its occupants in the context of the Electra and the Dal
Grauer.
