was also concerned since it could not predict whether it could get the necessary permit to hold the Canadian Open at Glen Abbey in 2018. The company's plan to demolish the golf course was proceeding slowly in 2018 so the Canadian Open was held at this location. On 25 October 2018, Superior Court Justice Edward Morgan ruled that Clublink had a right to take its demolition application to the Local Planning Appeal Tribunal (LPAT), in spite of the town's previous denial of this step. City council subsequently voted to take the issue to the Ontario Court of Appeal.

These would be over and above the planned office space and commercial/retail space.
