Commercial Property Spotlight: BMO Place
1 min read
In 2018 the Bank of Montreal (BMO) committed to transforming the former Sears office within Cadillac Fairview’s Toronto Eaton Centre into their workspace. The space comprises 350,000 square feet (32,516 sq. m) of workspace over four floors and has become home to over 3,200 employees.
The office space was designed to achieve LEED Gold certification. The redevelopment was aligned with BMO’s Zero Barriers to Inclusion 2025 strategy, featuring flexible design, advanced technology, and unique features to support accessibility and wellness including:
A wellness centre for meditation, prayer, and nursing
Gender-neutral and barrier-free washrooms
Braille and voice-enabled elevators
A colour strategy that supports neurodiversity and aids in navigation through the space
Large outdoor terraces and 12-foot-high windows
BMO’s Chief Strategy and Operations Officer Cameron Fowler said, “We are thrilled to mark this moment in BMO’s history. Our new world-class workspace, part of our broader investment in our modernized global real estate footprint, has been designed to enable innovation, collaboration, and growth.”
BMO Place celebrated its grand opening at the Eaton Centre in April 2023.
