Five of those seven listed start with the word OMERS. You can start there and then think public market or private market or back office administration. Why have treasury departments in multiple entities? Or legal? Or corporate risk? Or pools of investment analysts? Why have one subsidiary own...

No idea, but I would think that back office or lower esteemed groups might find themselves in 120 or 130 Adelaide. There is vacancy in those buildings and they are all connected so it would make sense. It's still two years away though.

Where's the vomiting emoticon when you need it? Yuck yuck yuck.

I said 6-8 floors. I know Oxford has at least five but it's been a while since I've been in there and I can't remember. OMERS capital markets is in the building plus there is the whole Oxford call centre/310MAX space beside and behind Brooks Brothers. Borealis has space in the building and I...

Kind of like saying Ford employees are going to start driving Chevrolets. Or Cadillac Fairview is going to move into a Brookfield building.

Oxford has I think 6-8 floors of RBC plaza? OMERS occupies more than half of 1 University plus they have space in RBC Plaza as well for their capital markets group. Borealis is NOT Property Management it is a diversified infrastructure company (owns Bruce power, a gas company in the UK etc...)...

The entire OMERS family (Oxford/Borealis/OMERS etc) is taking the remainder of the space in the building and it's now 100% leased.

Topping off ceremony on Nov 12th.

onathan Pierce, formerly SVP and Principal at Avison Young has left the firm to join Ivanhoe Cambridge to be responsible for the leasing of 45 Bay. Pierce is a true industry vet and an equity owner of Avison so this wouldn't happen unless there is a real "Go" on the project.

They are not "focused" on data centres but DO have more exposure to them than almost any other public company. 151 Front is a host agnostic carrier hotel and is one of the most important data centres in North America (though isn't a typical data centre). They would have a very hard time moving...

Oxford left 111 Richmond empty for years before they finally redeveloped it for Google. No one would lease 315 Front with a demo clause in it and Oxford wouldn't put someone in there and not be able to kick them out... So it will sit empty until they do something with the MTCC.

They can only go up so far due to shadow restrictions on Nathan Philip square. I will want to push right to the limit on the height though. 100% office as mentioned. Preleasing begins after BAC East is finished. Will look like BAC East with square corners.

It's a dark interior for sure. I think they should have do striations on the glazing to echo the effect of the original. I'm sure the glass would be much more expensive that way but it could look striking.

This building was owned by a pension fund prior to Amexon. They sold it not because they didn't like the building but because of the liability stemming from the facade crumbling. Unfortunately the facade CAN NOT be saved. Full stop. Period. They were looking at ~$30M to put in curtain wall 10+...

RealInsite is a great source to use to see what is available but in this case Oxford leases their own space and does not use Brokers. Like Cadillac, Brookfield and many other major landlords they have a wholly internalized leasing team for their space. In the case of looking if they would tear...

While I don't think a glass box plunked on the top of the Dominion building would be considerate to that building I do think that a wedding caked tower behind it could be very interesting. If you cantilevered floating floors over the roof of the building (maybe starting about 40 feet up from the...

The Oxford owned CTT and the whole Brookfield Place co-ownership was a bit of a fiasco which saw people fired. Things may have changed but when it happened I'm almost certain the Oxford had the right to block or JV the development if it came to pass. Like I said, I don't know if it is still the...

It would be nice if that corner was the lobby which went up the height of the warehouse with the exposed brick visible to the inside along with some highly modern bracing etc. The windows providing the light to the lobby like is was a gutted building. It would lose a lot of usable space but...

Oxford owns 161 Bay (South tower of Brookfield Place) along with for all intents & purposes 50% of the retail space while Brookfield owns 181 Bay. Oxford would have to give Brookfield permission to build the 3rd tower on Front St. and I can tell you, barring a large cheque being walked across...

Second (and larger) crane erected last night in the center of the footprint. South 2/3rds has been dug down with foundations and some pouring having taken place, north third is still dirt ramp up to surface.
