Aviva Canada is relocating to a new head office in Markham (it's now on Eglinton Avenue), one of the centerpieces of a new, high-density commercial, retail, and residential development in the neighborhood's core. The building is atypical compared to other suburban office parks (not the usual low-rise building surrounded by parking). Come 2017, Aviva will occupy most of the new 350k SF 12-storey office building. (Eventually in downtown Markham, there will be 3.4M SF of office space over 243 acres--a former cornfield.) The developer, Christopher Bratty, president at The Remington group, says Aviva joins Worley Parsons and Motorola in opting for LEED certified space in Markham. (If you're going to live in a cornfield, ya might as well be green. Anything else would upset some of the ears still living there.)
