Current Status
The windup petition was heard on Friday, June 17, 2022 virtually via Microsoft Teams. Justice Milman granted all of the orders sought and confirmed the wind-up of Cameray Gardens. This included confirmation of Derek Lai of Crowe MacKay & Company Ltd. as the liquidator for Cameray Gardens. That appointment is now effective and the Liquidator has authority over the affairs of Cameray Gardens. A copy of the Order is linked below.
The Liquidator signed an exclusive listing agreement with the strata’s real estate agents (TRG Commercial, NAI, CBRE, Marshall Macleod and David Ho) who are continuing to market Cameray Gardens. As part of this agreement, the realtors agreed to the termination of the prior listing agreements with the strata and individual owners so that no commissions are payable under those agreements.
The Liquidator also entered into a strata management agreement with Fraser Park Realty to provide daily strata management services as was previously done for the strata council. For all normal strata business, owners should continue to contact Fraser Park Realty (Hilaire Kalfon).
As of today, the Liquidator continues to work with the aforesaid real estate agents along with the strata council members towards a successful sale of the property.
