Interesting. They'd been in Scotia Plaza since it opened, I think. Before that they were in the Bank of Canada building.

I'd love to know if its a simple relocation / expansion / downsizing.

I think they're currently 100% in 40 King Street West ... which is Scotia Tower.

They have 190k sq.ft. in 40 King (Scotia Plaza). With the increased efficiency of BACII this is a technical downsize but headcount should remain the same.

That's the new trend in law firms. Everyone gets an office the same size. No more large offices for partners.

Yep, and that's okay ... I find it makes for a more personal work environment.

Thanks good to know # of employees stays the same (ideally increases a little..).

I'd bet you a buck their lease includes an option to take more space.

I'm really interested to see just how they go about actually constructing the base this tower. Supposedly the parking garage beneath the site will remain operational and will be integrated into the tower, so we won't see the typically shoring and excavation work that we're used to.

 

[DtTO]

I was under the impression that the parking garage directly underneath the tower would be closed, and support columns would decrease the number of parking spots slightly. Am I thinking of somewhere else? :S

 

[DtTO]

Nevermind, I was thinking of the new apartment building (extension) on Isabella. Would this be done differently?

Crane is being delivered.

 

[innsertnamehere]

That was......... Fast.

Just to be clear, although it's massive, the crane is a mobile crane and belongs to the demolition company "PDI".

 

[Edward]

So the deconstruction crane rather than the construction crane.

 

[AndreaPalladio]

Interesting. I've never seen a mobile crane brought in in pieces and assembled on site.
