Yahoo! Canada – Toronto Office

I had the pleasure of meeting Joanne Acri (@joanneacri) and Sarah Bradley (@sbradley) last week to tour the Yahoo! Canada Toronto office at 207 Queens Quay.  We sat down to discuss the building, the landlord and why Yahoo! decided to move their offices from Front Street down to the lake front.

It doesn’t take much to make a good impression with me when I meet clients for a first time so when I walked into reception and was offered candy and coffee it was off to a great start.  Joanne and Sarah lead me into the lunchroom where we chatted about the corporate culture at Yahoo! (conclusion awesome!).  The lounge / lunchroom we were in was outfitted with a Foosball table and arcade game and was surrounded by flat screens tuned in to the latest news from CP24.  If you are interested in hearing more about the corporate culture or Yahoo’s space you can reach out to Joanne or Sarah directly via Twitter, I’m sure they’d be happy to help you out!

From a commercial real estate / building perspective, here are some of the things you should think about before you consider 207 Queens Quay as a tenant.

The Good
The lobby show’s very well, as do the common areas.  The building is occupied by tenant’s like Bell Canada and Wind Mobile, so you’re in great company.  The building is run by Brookfield, one of the top property managers in Canada (if not the world).  What really blew me away was the views over the lake and the incredible natural light.  This was the feature that Joanne and Sarah suggested was was their favorite too.

The Tough
The most problematic thing with 207 Queens Quay was getting there.  A quick 10 minute walk from the Financial Core can feel a lot longer in winter.  On the flip side, in the summer, the area can become inundated with tourists which can drive up prices at local restaurants.  The volume of people and traffic can be hectic and get frustrating if you need to leave the office quickly to get to a meeting.  That being said, it’s located right smack in the middle of Toronto’s waterfront and the boardwalk offers incredible outdoor opportunities, particularly in the warmer months.

Overall, I was encouraged with the building and can see tenants overcoming the difficulties of the location to get an A+ landlord and into a great building with some of the coolest tenants and views a building can offer.

Thanks for the tour guys!

PS. Does your company have cool office space you would like to show off or do you have complaints / complements about your building you are in, please let me know.  Nothing like bad or good press to get a Landlord to smarten up and take notice!  Here is a quick survey to help you structure your input – Building Questionnaire

10 Important Factors To Consider When Leasing Your Space

Original Post From ROFO

Below we will reflect on how most companies make the decision about where to locate the office.

1. Location, Location, Location: Not only a real estate adage, but a fact of life. The location of the office is usually described as the either the biggest benefit or biggest negative.
2. Commute Patterns: Take a preliminary survey of your companies thoughts on their current commutes to determine how the new office location might effect their commute pattern.

3. Amenities: What restaurants and coffee shops are available nearby? Being in an isolated office park can be a very bad situation for the comfort of employees. At times in cannot be helped, but being in close proximity to the amenities employees use during their lunch break can be a huge recruiting advantage. Try a site like Walkscore.com.

4. Safety: What is the neighborhood like late in the evening? Have there been office or car break ins in the neighborhood recently? Would a female employee feel comfortable walking to their car or public transportation after working late on a project? All of these issues should be considered when considering your next location.

5. Layout of the Space: Is the layout of the space desirable. Is there good separation between the lobby and the work space? Is there separation between the kitchen and the work space so food smells don’t permeate the office. Is there good natural light?
6. Image of the Building: The question depends on how you are trying to present yourself to your clients and potential employees. If you are a law firm that helps with class action suits, it might not make sense to have the top floor of the nicest building in town. If you are the high powered corporate firm, it might be absolutely necessary to display that image. The location, layout, and feel of your building and space will leave an impression on your visitors and should be considered in your decision making process.
7. Parking/Public Transportation: The proximity to public transportation and affordable and convenient parking are extremely important. Many of your key employees might need quick access to transportation as they visit clients while others need convenient and affordable ways to get to the office. The more transportation options the better.
8. Recruiting: Will your location and building aid or hamper you in your recruiting efforts for top talent. How will the location effect current employees?
9. Expansion: Will your location allow for easy expansion? Is there space available nearby that can work if there is not space within your building?
10. Building Ownership & Maintenance: Is the ownership local? Is the HVAC system consistently broken? Your landlords involvement and attitude and responsiveness towards tenant repairs should be a critical element of your building decision.
