About

The project is responsible for the financing, design, construction, maintenance and renewal of the Durham Region Courthouse in Oshawa under a 33-year P3 contract with the Government of Ontario.

With approximately 440,000 sq. ft of space, the Courthouse more than doubled the space previously provided by 8 separate facilities located throughout the region of Durham.

The project has been recognised for its achievements by The Canadian Council for Public-Private Partnerships (‘CCPPP’) (2007 Award of Merit for Project Financing & 2010-2011 Silver Award for Infrastructure), by the American Institute of Architects (2008 Academy of Architecture for Justice Knowledge Community Justice Facility Review), by ReNew Canada (2008 Top 100 Infrastructure projects in Canada), by the Canadian Design-Build Institute (2010 Award of Excellence in Community Development-2nd Place), by the Royal Architectural Institute of Canada (2011 Green Building Award of Excellence) and by the Building Owners and Managers Association Go Green Plus Program (2013 Earth Award). The Courthouse was the first government building in Ontario to achieve LEED Gold, certified by the Canada Green Building Council (CaGBC).

Why we invest in PPPs

PPPs provide much needed critical infrastructure often replacing older public sector properties with new state of the art facilities operated by experienced facilities management contractors. The investments provide stable long-term, index-linked cash flows backed by high quality public sector counterparties.

Stable income from high quality counterparties: The investment companies receive availability-based revenues from public sector counterparties
International delivery model: INPP has invested in PPP assets in Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Europe and the UK
Long-term, predictable cash flows: PPP concessions will typically last for between 25 and 35 years
Risk transfer: Construction and operational risks are transferred to investment company’s supply chain partners
Inflation-protected revenues: Revenues are generally inflation-linked and indexed to local inflation measures, such as the UK’s Retail Price Index (‘RPI’)
Critical infrastructure: INPP’s PPP investments deliver much needed critical infrastructure to the public sector, supporting local societies and communities across our key geographies
