Who handles what
The neighbourhood
Evans, Mitchell-Gill's Oshawa office is at 419 King Street West, which is also the address of Oshawa Centre, the enclosed mall at King Street and Stevenson Road that's the largest shopping centre in Durham Region and the largest east of Toronto. The firm's suite is part of the mall's office component rather than a stand alone building, so clients coming in from Ajax, Whitby, Clarington, or Pickering are visiting a complex most of them already know for its stores rather than its offices.
