We are experts at construction where people live, work and play …. but it turns out we can bake too!

The team got into the festive spirit and enjoyed with the annual Urbacon Holiday Bake-Off.

Thank you to the participants for sharing their delicious baked goods - there’s nothing quite like the smell of fresh gingerbread cookies at this time of year.

Infrastructure Ontario selected Urbacon to complete a comprehensive retrofit and modernization of a nine-storey, 628,000 sq ft office building at 222 Jarvis Street in Toronto - an iconic example of 1970s brutalist architecture.

Formerly known as the Sears building, this project included a refurbishment of the base building interior, upgrades to the electrical and mechanical systems, overall shell and envelope remediation, new escalators with a central skylight, and the creation of a new four-storey lobby.

At the time, it was the largest existing building renovation in North America. The completed project -- designed by -- saves 4,930 tonnes of CO2 a year, is LEED® Gold certified and demonstrates that older buildings can be upgraded to the quality and efficiency of new buildings.

The base building improvements led to a further 120,000 sq ft office fit out over three floors for the Ministry of Government Services, with Urbacon delivering a modern, bright and sustainable workplace for Government employees.
