Tuesday, December 03, 2019
Major office development continued into the third quarter of 2019 with Samuel, Son & Co.’s new Oakville head office location, the largest commercial project of the quarter.
The company’s brand new 55,000 square foot, two-storey office building is located in Carttera’s Oakwoods Business Park and will target LEED principles. The new location is the company’s second investment in the community, the first being the opening of Burloak Technologies Additive Manufacturing Centre of Excellence which opened in 2018 and recently underwent an expansion.
Building permit activity
Most significantly this quarter were new permits for the Mid-Halton Waste Water Treatment Plant Administration Building, Glen Abbey Park and Community Centre, a real estate office building on Lakeshore Road West and parking garage alterations on Lakeshore Road East.
