The neighbourhood

The firm's office at 120 Adelaide Street West sits inside the Richmond-Adelaide Centre, a cluster of office towers in the heart of Toronto's financial district that together total about 1.6 million square feet. The 120 Adelaide tower dates to 1966 and the complex connects into the city's underground PATH network.

For a firm built around corporate finance and securities work, the location puts it in the same downtown core as the Toronto Stock Exchange and the banks and brokerages of Bay Street, rather than a satellite or suburban office.
