Shopify Inc. (TSX:SHOP)(NYSE:SHOP) says it is investing up to $500 million for a downtown Toronto development, more than doubling the company’s footprint in the city.
The Ottawa-based e-commerce company says it will lease about 23,597 square meters of space at The Well complex to be built at Front Street West and Spadina Avenue.
Allied Properties REIT and RioCan REIT are behind the building that Shopify will begin occupying in mid-2022.
