Hudson's Bay landlords don't want Liu to move in, but retailer still has a shot

TORONTO - A group of Hudson's Bay's landlords don't want to transfer more than two dozen leases to British Columbia billionaire Ruby Liu, but the department store still has a chance to get its way. The Bay, which filed for creditor protection in March, ran a process over the last several months to find buyers for leases belonging to it and Saks Canada. It agreed to sell up to 28 spaces to Liu. Three leases were transferred to her without any hiccups because they're in B.C. malls she owns, but another 25 are at properties held by a who's who of Canadian commercial real estate firms. Landlords for 23 of those sites oppose the transfer. Several have said in court they've been 'very troubled' with their interactions with Liu and have had 'no productive discussions, no meaningful disclosure.' Liu insists if the court hands her the leases, landlords will warm to her and her plan to open a new department store in their properties. While the disagreement could serve as a roadblock to the Bay closing on its agreement with Liu, lawyers not involved in the case say the retailer has another route it can take to get a deal done. That route lies in changes to the Companies' Creditors Arrangement Act — Canada's main insolvency law — made in 2009, said Jeff Lee, a Saskatoon-based partner at MLT Aikins LLP. The changes laid out three criteria courts must consider when asked to assign leases to a new tenant. The first is whether or not the sale has the support of the monitor, a court-appointed, independent third party which helps guide businesses through creditor protection. In the Bay's case, the monitor is Alvarez & Marsal. It has yet to reveal whether it supports the Liu deal and did not respond to requests for comment. 'Before any court application is brought forward, typically the company will test that out with them,' Lee said. 'They're not going to just sort of fly in blind and hope for the best.' The second aspect for the court to mull is whether the proposed new tenant is suitable. Lee said that's determined by looking at whether they can perform the duties of the tenant and pay rent. Liu, who made her money in Chinese real estate, appears to have deep pockets but her experience comes from being a landlord rather than a tenant. The final aspect the court will consider is whether a transfer of a lease to Liu is 'appropriate.' Lee said people should think of it as asking this question: 'Is what's proposed for this post-assignment lease relationship what people signed up for, or are they seeking to rewrite the lease or change the playing field so radically that it's not appropriate?' That's where much of the tension could lie in the Bay case. 'You can't go into CCAA as a tenant and then force your landlords to renegotiate their leases as a result,' said Peter Tolensky, a Vancouver-based partner at Lawson Lundell LLP. The Canadian Press obtained a document last week that Liu's lawyer sent landlords outlining her plans. It says she will take on the leases on an 'as is, where is' basis but doesn't mention the dining, entertainment, children's and fitness experiences she's told media she'd like to include in her department stores. It's unclear whether the leases allow for uses other than a Bay-like department store. A court faced with a request to reassign leases will weigh this context and think about whether 'the landlord's world is being turned upside down by having this new tenant,' said Geoffrey Dabbs, a B.C.-based founding partner at Gehlen Dabbs Cash. 'The more it's a minor inconvenience for the landlord, the more likely the judge will order it,' he said. While the Bay hasn't said whether it will seek an assignment, it's likely because any company in creditor protection has a duty to show the court it's doing its best to pay back companies and people it owes money to, Dabbs said. The Bay has a 26-page list of creditors, with some lenders owed more than $100 million each. Liquidation sales and a deal to sell the Bay trademarks to Canadian Tire for $30 million have put a dent in what's owed but selling leases to Liu would also help. Anyone who made an offer for leases had to make a deposit of 10 per cent of their estimated purchase price. Court documents show Liu made a deposit of $9.4 million, in addition to $6 million for the three approved leases, which would equate to a purchase price of $100 million for 28 leases. When a deal like this is reached, Dabbs said a company typically seeks landlord consent because commercial leases tend to have provisions stopping anyone from transferring a lease without a property owner agreeing. It's not uncommon for landlords to object because any leases that can't be sold and aren't assigned get turned back over to property owners who can choose how to fill them and under what terms. 'Remember, these are anchor leases, so they're probably very favourable to the Bay or to the tenant in a lot of respects,' said Tolensky, alluding to the fact that anchor tenants are often given attractive rents or terms. Thus, it's more advantageous for landlords to get their properties back, said Monica Beffa, founder of an Oakville, Ont., law firm. If they do, they can then charge higher rents, develop them for entirely new uses such as residential units or break them up into smaller parcels that can be rented by a wide array of tenants. If they don't and a court assigns the leases to Liu, landlords will likely be watching her closely to ensure she doesn't violate any terms of the agreement. 'The landlord may be cranky, if the tenant breaches, but put it this way, they don't want to rely on that,' Dabbs said. 'If they don't want this lease being assigned, they will fight it right up front.' This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 28, 2025.

Technology Empowers Rescue! The Wheel-Legged Robot of DEEP Robotics Makes Emergency Rescue More Efficient and Safer

HANGZHOU, CN / ACCESS Newswire / June 27, 2025 / With the rapid development of technology, unmanned intelligent emergency rescue equipment is gradually becoming the new favorite in the field of public safety. Such equipment can not only penetrate into dangerous environments, replace rescue personnel in performing high-risk tasks, and significantly improve rescue efficiency, but also safeguard the lives of rescue workers to a certain extent. Driven by policies, ensuring the safety and reliability of emergency robots in complex and changeable environments, as well as achieving their efficient collaborative operations with other rescue equipment and personnel, have become urgent challenges in the development process of unmanned intelligent emergency rescue equipment. Recently, LYNX M20 wheel-legged robot released by DEEP Robotics, with its innovative design and powerful performance, may bring a breakthrough solution to the existing dilemmas in emergency rescue, and promote the further upgrade of the practical combat capabilities of unmanned rescue equipment in real-world scenarios. Upgrading Perception in Harsh Environments to Crack the Dilemma of Disaster Scene Reconnaissance In a fire scene filled with toxic gases, firefighters rely solely on flashlights and protective gear for reconnaissance, with their detection range compressed to within tens of meters, and they also face fatal risks such as poisoning. This requires fire-fighting robots to possess the capabilities of complex environmental perception and operation in extreme environments. LYNX M20 wheel-legged robot from DEEP Robotics is equipped with a 96-line LiDAR, which constructs a 360°×90° 3D perception network through hundreds of thousands of environmental data collections per second. Even in dark environments, it can real-time build a 3D point cloud model of the surrounding environment. Paired with gas sensors and a dual-light pan-tilt, it also enables functions such as real-time transmission of high-definition on-site images, precise detection and feedback of combustible/toxic gas data, heat source tracking, etc. This helps commanders achieve remote visual monitoring, predict potential dangers in advance, and provide intelligent support for search and rescue operations. Meanwhile, LYNX M20 robot dog has an all-weather protection rating of IP66, which means it is completely dustproof and highly waterproof. It can operate continuously and stably in the extreme temperature range of -20°C to 55°C, and is fully capable of withstanding wind and rain. All-Terrain Operation in Complex Terrains Helps Break Through Rescue Access Obstacles In actual rescue scenarios, the dilemma of equipment passage caused by complex terrains is not uncommon. For example, in wild disaster accidents, traditional rescue equipment is limited by the narrowness and tortuosity of mountain roads and needs to take a detour. During urban rescues, the narrow space of stairwells inside buildings and the dense pipelines in underground utility tunnels cause rescue equipment to 'get stuck'. At disaster sites such as earthquakes and collapses, obstacles like gravel and gullies in the ruins hinder rescue tasks due to complex terrain conditions. As a medium-sized industrial-grade all-terrain wheel-legged robot specially designed for complex terrain and hazardous environment applications, LYNX M20 robot dog integrates the speed of wheeled robots with the flexibility of legged robots. It not only has the efficient mobility in wheeled mode but can also break through complex obstacles through its legged configuration. Compared with traditional tracked and wheeled robots in complex environment operations, it has obvious advantages in scenarios such as mountains, ruins, and narrow spaces. With its compact size and 'front elbow-rear knee' front-rear symmetrical mechanical structure, LYNX M20 robot dog can move freely even in old stairwells and underground utility tunnels as narrow as 50cm. This symmetrical design allows it to travel back and forth freely without turning around, and easily achieve flexible traversal by dynamically adjusting the wheel-leg spacing and joint angles. When facing an 80cm vertical obstacle, the anti-slip patterns on its four legs, combined with the 'front elbow-rear knee' structure, provide strong grip and climbing stability; when dealing with 22cm continuous steps, it can precisely control the pace rhythm to complete the crossing, fully covering the dead corners that are difficult to reach by traditional rescue. Accurate Information Collection Enhances Rescue Decision-making Efficiency The real-time data acquisition at disaster sites directly affects rescue efficiency and safety. Traditional reconnaissance methods have problems such as incomplete data and time lag in complex environments, which are difficult to meet the decision-making needs of modern rescues. Modern rescues place higher demands on equipment, requiring fire-fighting robots to have multi-dimensional environmental perception and stable data transmission capabilities to provide more accurate on-site information for command centers. In this regard, DEEP Robotics took the lead in launching the 'Quadruped Robot Fire Emergency Solution' as early as 2022. Robot dogs and drones work together to build a sound air-ground collaborative rescue command system, which was verified in the 'Emergency Mission · 2024" joint rescue drill for super typhoon prevention and extra-heavy flood disasters. Last June, in the 'Emergency Mission・2024" joint rescue drill for super typhoon prevention and extra-heavy flood disasters, the 'Quadruped Robot Emergency Fire Solution' jointly deployed by Zhejiang Fire Brigade and DEEP Robotics demonstrated excellent combat capabilities. X30 robot and drones conducted coordinated operations, not only transmitting key data such as fire scene temperature, radiant heat intensity, and toxic/hazardous gas concentration in real time through dual-light pan-tilt and gas detectors, but also accurately locating the positions of trapped personnel in complex environments and quickly constructing a three-dimensional model of the disaster site. This provided precise decision-making basis for the command center, making rescue operations more scientific and efficient. In addition, DEEP Robotics' 'Quadruped Robot Fire Emergency Solution' has completed scenario verification in various extreme environments, including earthquake ruins, collapse-prone buildings, tunnel accidents, and chemical pollution. The new-generation LYNX M20 wheel-legged robot, with its powerful functions and flexibility, will provide more intelligent support in the field of emergency fire protection, helping to make fire rescue more efficient and safer. Conclusion: Rescue personnel face life-threatening risks such as toxic gas poisoning and building collapse during missions. Against this backdrop, the Ministry of Emergency Management is actively promoting the R&D and application of intelligent equipment, yet combat capabilities in complex environments remain an industry pain point. From the perspective of technical verification, quadruped robot solutions represented by DEEP Robotics' LYNX M20 have demonstrated significant advantages in the field of emergency fire protection, effectively improving rescue efficiency and operational safety. Innovative enterprises represented by DEEP Robotics, through continuous technological iteration and scenario verification, are promoting the comprehensive upgrading of the emergency rescue system and building an intelligent defense line for safeguarding people's lives and property.

B.C. mall owner lays out plan for Bay leases. Landlords are unconvinced

TORONTO — A B.C. billionaire hoping to launch a new department store chain in former Hudson's Bay and Saks Canada spaces estimates she can have at least 20 locations up and running within 180 days of signing leases, but landlords aren't on board with her plan. The timeline is one of many highlights in a package prepared by Ruby Liu's lawyers and obtained by The Canadian Press. It was sent in early June to landlords of 25 leases she wants to take over. Lawyers for several, including Cadillac Fairview, Oxford Properties and Primaris, told a judge on Monday they've been "very troubled" with their interactions with Liu and have had "no productive discussions, no meaningful disclosure." The 55-page package consists of a nine-page letter with several hallmarks of a business plan; it outlines everything from Liu's leadership experience to her hiring plans and is accompanied by a spreadsheet that offers prospective balance sheets and earnings forecasts. However, the bulk of the document is made up of prior court filings describing the general sales process for Bay leases, as well as a list of tenants at three malls Liu owns in British Columbia. Linda Qin, a spokesperson for Liu, did not refute the contents of the document. She said the team they're running is "confident in our ability to successfully revitalize these retail spaces and fulfill our mission." "Since April, we have been actively advancing operational work at the store level and have made meaningful progress," Qin wrote in an email. Liu maintains she has landlord support and is confident that if she gains approval to buy the leases, the opposing group will welcome her. Once she has the leases, she plans to develop a new department store she will name after herself and market with a scarlet jewel motif, a nod to her name. She has told The Canadian Press her retail stores would stock apparel, jewelry and makeup but also feature kids' play spaces, entertainment offerings, dining experiences and areas for cosplay — the practice of dressing up as fictional characters. However, it's unclear whether the Bay's leases allow for any uses other than a Bay-like department store and Liu's materials say she will take on the leases on an "as is, where is" basis. "Ms. Liu is not asking for lease-related concessions and will comply with lease terms," her lawyer said in the letter. The document traces Liu's path from a high school student working in Harbin, China to an entrepreneur who opened and managed six restaurants in Shenzhen. By the time she had two kids, she had made the leap into real estate, where she co-developed a mall. In February 2019, it says the shopping centre was sold for $1.25 billion and she moved to B.C., where she bought and runs Woodgrove Centre in Nanaimo, Mayfair Shopping Centre in Victoria and Tsawwassen Mills in Delta. On Monday, a court allowed her to purchase the three leases the Bay had in those properties for a total of $6 million. The letter Liu sent to other landlords shows she has budgeted $84 million to revamp properties covered by Bay leases she wants to obtain. In the Bay's final years, its stores gained a reputation for having broken escalators and malfunctioning air conditioning and sound systems. Another $96 million will be spent to ramp up inventory over the course of eight months. The document says Liu has met with more than 50 former Bay suppliers who are willing to sell or consign product to her. It does not name any of the suppliers. "Based on our ongoing discussions, we foresee no issues with product availability," Qin said. Yet Cadillac Fairview, one of the Bay's landlords, said it has not received any "evidence of retail management expertise, established supplier relationships, logistical/ecomm capabilities, or robust and realistic financial projections — elements that are foundational for even a single retail store, let alone 28 stores of this size." "Our sole meeting was brief, as she was unprepared to discuss her plans or present a business plan," CEO Sal Iacono said in a statement. Despite multiple requests, Liu has "not provided a meaningful business plan or other requisite information to support her intentions," he said. "That is something that any prospective tenant would do." The information Liu provided in the package shows she expects to lose $32.5 million for the balance of 2025, if she is able to obtain leases and open as planned. By 2026, she foresees a $31 million profit, followed by $35.5 million in earnings in 2027. Sales over those three years will reach $867 million, the plan says. To help her reach these forecasts, she expects to hire key execs and managers within 30 days of getting leases. Within 90 days, she says she will have hired thousands of staff and ordered inventory she forecasts will arrive by the 150-day mark. "I really want her to succeed, but I just have too many questions," said Elisha Ballantyne, a Toronto-based retail consultant. Ballantyne was part of the team that brought Target to Canada in 2013. Target's unsuccessful foray north of the border came after the U.S. retailer bought the leases of hundreds of Zellers outlets in 2011, when that banner began winding down. She recalls that Target, which eventually left the country in 2015, spent $10 million per property on renovations. Even with an experienced team and an existing supplier network to tap into, the supply chain was a challenge, as was hiring. The company started to bring on staff 15 months before opening. "That was far too rushed and ran into so many problems, so how is she going to do this in six months?" Ballantyne questioned. Liu's letter says she has already reviewed more than 500 resumes from current and former Bay employees. At least 10 store-level managers, who have more than a decade of experience at the Bay, have committed to helping. The letter says Wayne Drummond, a former Bay president, has also been "assisting with everything from securing suppliers and inventory to reviewing product mix." Liu predicts she will need between 2,500 and 3,000 employees to open. While Cadillac Fairview said it supports her goal of creating retail jobs in Canada, they feel that ambition "would be much better served if CF and the other professional landlords could proceed with securing established retailers with proven track records to occupy these former HBC boxes." "This approach would provide real retail careers in firms that offer stable employment with proper training, benefits, and career progression in a professional retail environment," Iacono said. This report by The Canadian Press was first published June 25, 2025. Tara Deschamps, The Canadian Press
