WELCOME TO TORONTOWelcome to Toronto - one of North America’s most dynamic, diverse and fastest growing cities! With some 6 million plus residents in the Greater Toronto Area and an average of some 85,000 new immigrants arriving annually (Source: Citizenship and Immigration Canada), Toronto is a city that knows no limits with opportunities plenty abundant!

A large and key component that makes this buzzing metropolis so attractive to businesses seeking their fortune is the Information and Communications Technology (ICT) sector. With more than 175,000 workers and more than 11,500 firms, this youthful sector continues to expand and innovate itself to some $52 billion in revenues annually! (Source: Toronto Region Research Alliance, 2011)

It includes all the major industry players such as IBM, Microsoft, Google and Dell to name just a few, however some 28% of firms have 19 or fewer employees and some 49% of firms have fewer than 99 employees, making Toronto a hotbed for start-ups! (Source: Toronto Region Research Alliance, 2011) In addition, according to ITbusiness.ca, Toronto is ranked number two in North America (after Houston) for easiest city to find an IT job! What does this all mean to you? It simply means that the Greater Toronto Area is a great place to do business from and within that area we think that there’s no better place to do business from than right here in the center of it all, namely downtown!

WELCOME TO TORONTO

Like many cities, we are witnessing a migration back to the core with many companies opting for locations near or close to the heart of the city. As Coca-Cola has recently done, as Apple has recently done and as Google has recently done, all these firms are going to where the talent is and more and more they’re discovering that that’s in the heart of the city.

With this top of mind and knowing your business is the business of incubation, we’ve put together a list of our top five picks for your firm. We picked one from each of the following five perspectives: Brick & Beam, Branding, Cost Effectiveness, Floor Plate Size and Planned Develop-ments. There’s one of each so depending from which perspective you’d like to tackle this, we’ve got it covered. Naturally a more extensive survey can be assembled, however we feel that these options provide an excellent jumping point from which to spring into the amazing city that Toronto is!

In addition we’ve inserted a quick market snapshot along with a map showing the picks and the various tenancies in and around them.

Welcome to Toronto from Your Colliers Toronto Brokerage Team!
