CHALLENGE

The Co-operators is a national insurance company that wanted to open a small office in Kitchener to focus on innovation and attract university talent by employing students on a project-by-project basis.  The challenge was finding office space accessible via public transit with sufficient free surface parking owned by a landlord willing to entertain a short lease term. After completing an office needs analysis it was determined their requirement was approximately 2,500 square feet and a search was initiated to identify all viable alternatives in the market.

SOLUTION

After reviewing the market and conducting a tour the client leased space in the front of an industrial building in Kitchener within walking distance of the downtown core.

RESULTS

Negotiated a short term lease that met the client’s budget and their accelerated occupancy schedule.
