We were delighted to be asked to contribute to this Ottawa Business Journal article about our people-first strategy and why we chose to work with Stratford Managers to help develop and implement it.
Catastrophic Roof Failure and Replacement
Roof failure involved a significant section of the 100K sf roof lifting and tearing off the industrial building. Disaster response protocols initiated, the property was immediately secured with involvement from roofing and affiliated contractors.

Opportunity In 2008, Investors Group retained Colonnade BridgePort to reposition and “resurrect” a 60,566 sq. ft. retail centre that was experiencing chronic vacancy in Barrhaven, a suburb of Ottawa.
