Who handles what

The neighbourhood

Adair Goldblatt Bieber's office is at 401 Bay Street, a Toronto tower completed in 1968 as the headquarters of the Simpsons department store chain. The building later housed Hudson's Bay Company's head office until 2025 and is connected to the Eaton Centre across Queen Street, putting the firm inside the city's downtown retail and financial core rather than a quieter side street.

On its contact page, the firm acknowledges that its offices sit on the traditional territory of several nations, including the Mississaugas of the Credit, the Anishnabeg, the Chippewa, the Haudenosaunee, and the Wendat peoples.
