In June 2015, Cintra and Macquarie, seeking a return on their equity investment, announced their intention to sell all scc shares. A consortium of three Canadian pension funds (Calumet Concession Partners LLC) agreed in November 2015 to purchase the lease for $2.8 billion. The Canadian Pension Consortium will charge tolls on the Skyway for the remainder of the lease until 2104. A decade after investors gave the city more than $1.8 billion to lease the Chicago Skyway for 99 years, the rights to operate the privatized highway and toll booth were sold for $1 billion more than the original price. The deal was announced shortly after another toll road sale in 2015 and is the second such sale that Cintra and Macquarie have been involved in in the past 12 months. In May 2015, Cintra and Macquarie completed the sale of the lease of another joint asset, Indiana Toll Road (ITR). Chicago Skyway`s financing structure, which includes bank debt and long-term private placement bonds, largely mirrors that of ITR. Cintra, a subsidiary of Madrid`s infrastructure group Ferrovial, holds a 55% stake in the Skyway deal. The remaining 45 percent of the Shares in the Chicago concession belong to two Macquarie branches, according to city records.
The $2.50 toll remained in effect until 2008, when it increased to $3. The agreement increased tolls to $5 in 2017. After that, the agreement provided for annual increases of 2% or the rate of inflation, whichever is higher. Going forward, other similar toll road deals that could be launched in the market to capitalize on the growing appetite of investors include the $1.4 billion Texas State Highway 130 toll road concession, which is also majority-owned by Cintra, which is now bankrupt and wants to restructure its debt. The Northwest Parkway in Georgia and the Pocahontas Parkway in Virginia are among the other deals that could complete the restructuring in the near future. Following the lease of the Skyway, the Daley government entered into long-term concession agreements for four downtown parking garages and the city`s parking meter system, which provided a payment of $1.15 billion under a 75-year contract.

Skyway Concession Company, LLC (SCC) resumed operations on the Skyway on January 26, 2005. SCC is responsible for all costs of operating and maintaining the Skyway, but is entitled to all toll and concession revenues. This agreement between SCC and the City of Chicago was the first long-term lease of an existing toll road in the United States. Institutional investors, including pension funds that need to adjust the performance of their long-term liabilities, often look for investments related to GDP growth and inflation.
Toll roads are proving to be good candidates in this regard, even in times of low inflation, as concessionaires are able to guarantee a minimal increase in rates, especially in a recovering economy. Motorists using the 7.8-mile toll road on the south side are unlikely to notice any changes from the sale, as the schedule for toll increases was set out in the long-term lease approved by City Council 10 years ago. In June, with 89 years left on the terms of the deal, Cintra and Macquarie announced they wanted to sell themselves. In March 2004, the City of Chicago issued a call for tenders from potential bidders interested in operating the facility on a long-term lease basis in March 2004. It received 10 replies and invited five groups to prepare proposals in May 2004. Bids were submitted in October 2004 and the long-term lease was awarded to Cintra/Macquarie on October 28, 2004. Cintra/Macquarie offered $1.83 billion for the 99-year-old concession, 2.6 times more than the second highest bidder, a French and Canadian group led by Vinci Concessions. Spain`s Abertis Infraestructuras was the only other bidder to offer $505 million for the lease. The $2.8 billion acquisition of Skyway Concession Company, owner of the Chicago Skyway toll road lease in Illinois, was the first such transaction in the United States for a trio of Canadian pension funds. Skyway`s original concession company was a partnership between Spain`s Cintra Infraestructuras and Australia`s Macquarie Group.
Their payment of $1.83 billion in January 2005 was nearly $1 billion more than the highest supply, leading to speculation that investors had overpaid. The fire broke out around 7:25 p.m. .m.m. on the back porch of a building in Block 6400 of North Washtenaw Avenue, according to the Chicago Fire Department.
