My vision was always to build an inspiring place that brings thought leaders and specialists together to collaborate. The first phase started in 2016 with our renovations of 3 floors of office space at the historic 2 Wyndham building. The second phase started in February 2019 when Tekside.io launched, and their programming team moved into the 3rd floor collaboration space. The focus of the third phase, is using our 4th floor CONNECT Hub to help companies rapidly scale business. Lots of innovation along Canada’s Innovation Corridor and we 100 meters from the train line!
