I am not going to identify exactly who is talking to whom about what.

I will say, international banks and fintechs are in play, as are mainline tech firms, and yes, domestic banks too.

There's enough interest to easily fill The Hub, but it's a big commitment, years out, and everyone (including Oxford) wants the best deal they can get. We'll see how it all comes together in due course.

Let's hope this is sooner than later giving us real reasons to bump this thread... >.<
 
I'm not necessarily a "height junkie", but I would find this particular project much more exciting at 300m+. The original design, at ~300m, was superior, imo, albeit a shade bulky, which is what also afflicts the current iteration.

I suspect once CIBC Square II is fully done, this one will really kick into high gear.

The timing of CIBC Square is not relevant to the timing of this project.

1) Different owners, so Oxford does not have any capital tied up by CIBC Square.

2) CIBC Square is fully leased, yup, fully. So there's nothing doing there that adversely impacts any timeline here.

The only thing effecting the timeline here is closing a deal for an anchor tenant. That's it. Now everyone breathe, LOL Let the thread rest, there will be news when there is news.

Will some foreign North American head offices and R&D start moving north? What European, Japanese, Korean, Latin American -- basically anyone -- executive wants to travel down south right now?

It's hard to say how the next few years will play out with how unpredictable the states have become. I wouldn't be shocked if international firms are considering building a larger presence in Canada to bolster their North American presence.

You and I may not want to travel to US but it IS a huge market and companies will still want to have some sort of presence/activity there.

I was referring to buildings competing for tenants, meaning once CIBC Square II is done and out of the way, the next big one, meaning this building, will be the "main focus."

I realize that. Which is why I said CIBC Square is fully leased, so not competing for any tenants.

Plus in the case of Rogers, they own 1 Mt Pleasant. There's basically no chance they decide to replace a building they own with renting one from Oxford.

Plus they just announced they're (finally) moving the statue of Ted Rogers from in front of the Skydome to this location (where it belongs), so that probably means they aren't looking to move anytime soon.
