A Toronto-based real estate company announced plans Thursday to take over a loft-style office space at the corner of Queen and Bank streets as service providers continue their rush towards offering co-working spaces in downtown Ottawa.
Toronto’s iQ Office Suites said it’s leasing 13,658 square feet at 222 Queen St. to convert the 10th floor of the 15-storey office tower into a co-working space. A release states the office space, a block away from Parliament Station on the forthcoming light-rail transit line, will feature a contemporary loft style with windows on all four walls.
In a statement, the company said it separates its co-working spaces from the pack through an emphasis on privacy and security as well as offering full-service teams to support tenants.
