Summary

1) Given the demand from tenants for modernized buildings with history, how are developers revolutionizing their approach to adaptive reuse projects and how are treacherous obstacles such as connectivity issues being overcome?

2) With the number of creative office strategies on the rise what puts the latest and greatest smart office projects miles ahead of the rest? What exactly are Toronto's tenants in demand looking for when it comes to selecting their next office?

3) The value proposition in a creative office is most noticeably experienced by the tenants moving into Toronto's hottest office developments but where are owners, developers, investors, and managers reaping the most of their investment?

4) Given the interest in Toronto's CRE market from investors, owners, and developers, where are the development opportunities to be had and how are multibillion-dollar transit updates impacting Toronto's capability to function and serve as a tech hub?

5) The importance of infrastructure in CRE and economic development is clear. With reports of the gaps in funding can private enterprise and PPP's fill the gaps to create new office development opportunities with simple solutions such as car and bike sharing programs?
