The TD Centre, at 4.3 million square feet, has become the largest office complex in Canada to attain WELL certification.
Located in downtown Toronto, five TD Centre towers have achieved WELL Core Certification at Gold level under WELL v2, with the sixth tower, currently under revitalization, receiving WELL Precertification under WELL v2.
“For over 50 years, TD Centre has been an influential gathering place for some of the world’s leading corporations and thousands of their employees,” said Landry Biles, general manager, Toronto-Dominion Centre. “The WELL Core Gold accomplishment is an important reflection of our ongoing efforts to create a vibrant, welcoming, safe and healthy environment across our entire portfolio, and as the largest office complex to achieve this status, we’re proud to champion the importance of health and wellness.”
Cadillac Fairview’s company-wide WELL journey extends across its asset class and includes 29 WELL Health-Safety Ratings across its Canadian office portfolio. Over the past seven years, TD Centre has committed to occupant well-being and is the first office building in North America to achieve WELL v1 Core & Shell Certification at Gold level for its 222 Bay Street location.
CF is also an International WELL Building Institute (IWBI) member company at the cornerstone level, joining a network of leading organizations working together to advance the movement for better buildings globally.
“Cadillac Fairview has been an early adopter of WELL Building Standard and this achievement marks a milestone for Cadillac Fairview becoming the largest portfolio in Canada to achieve WELL Certification,” said Olesy Alekseev, vice president and Canada lead at the IWBI. “This shows tremendous commitment and leadership to the global healthy building movement, scaling health and well-being impact across its real estate portfolio.
“The achievement is not only a testament to how our places play a critical role in protecting the health and safety of everyone, but is also set to inspire other organizations to join the effort in welcoming Canadians back to the office environment.”
