Would this be temp until their new facilities are completed? Or would this be ‘in addition to’ the new facilities?
Unit 200 would refer to the second (ground) floor I assume.
In November 2019 renovations for Google on the second floor (top level)of the building had already started. Last time I was inside King Centre was in January or February of 2020 and the escalators nearest the main Water St entrance were blocked off and it wasn't possible to even see anything happening in the second floor. Manulife still had a small amount of staff working in the building at that time. So I'm curious what this permit if for if work was already underway 18 months ago. Perhaps they are going to leave the ground floor in addition to the second?
