The neighbourhood

Ross Nasseri LLP's office is in suite 700 at 312 Adelaide Street West, in Toronto's Entertainment District. The building, known as the Manufacturers Building, was constructed in 1927 for David Garfinkel and designed by architects Baldwin and Greene in the Art Deco style, one of the loft style warehouses built in the area during the 1920s to house garment and manufacturing tenants. Its floors were originally open concept, built to be divided up for whichever occupant rented the space, and like many of the neighbourhood's old warehouse buildings it is now used as office space.
