Eighth Avenue Place

Entering the Canadian commercial real estate market in 2004, Hines' reputation of outstanding quality, attention to detail and a unique dedication to integrity and professionalism has propelled the company to rapid success in Canada. In 2007, Hines was retained as the development manager for Eighth Avenue Place—a 1.1 million-square-foot office development in downtown Calgary. Completed in April 2011, Eighth Avenue Place  is Canada's first Pre-certified LEED Platinum.

Current Regional Initiatives

Bayside - Toronto, ON is slated to be Toronto's next
great neighbourhood—a vibrant, year-round urban destination that will bring new life to the city's Inner Harbour. Located on a 10-acre site with approximately two million square feet of mixed-use potential, the development
will include an active mix of retail, cultural, residential and office uses combined with open spaces, activities and visual delights. With exceptional architecture and a focus on sustainability,
Bayside will set the standard for future waterfront development.

Eighth Avenue Place - Calgary, AB is a premier office development located in the heart of Calgary's downtown core. Phase I of the development consists of a 49-story East Tower (1.1 million square feet), a 1,143-space underground parkade and a winter garden atrium. The design concept of Eighth Avenue Place makes a metaphorical reference to the peaked and faceted Rocky Mountains that provide such a compelling backdrop to the city of Calgary. As Canada's first Pre-certified LEED Platinum high rise, Eighth Avenue Place features a 30,000-square-foot green roof - one of Canada's largest. The project was completed in April 2011 and is fully leased. Hines has been retained as the Property Manager for Eighth Avenue Place and is currently overseeing the development of the second phase of the project, an 850,000-square-foot, 40-story tower.
