The neighbourhood

Piccolo Heath's office is at 55 University Avenue, at the corner of University Avenue and Wellington Street. The tower dates to 1977. University Avenue is one of Toronto's most ceremonial thoroughfares, lined with hospitals, Osgoode Hall, cultural venues, government buildings, and insurance companies, a fitting setting for a firm whose practice centres on the employer side of the employment relationship, including individual executives, rather than employees generally.
