About this location

The building at 791 St. Clair Avenue West was built originally circa 1940 for the Copp Clark Publishing Company. The 2^nd floor had private offices around the perimeter of the building while in the centre was an exterior open air central courtyard roof garden. The main level and lower level were for book printing and distributing. The building was sold in the 1980’s to a developer who filled in the courtyard and interiorized it. The building became a multi-unit rental office building serving a variety of commercial companies.

In 1995 the building was purchased by Skills for Change and in that year renovations were undertaken on the lower 2 floor levels for Skills for Change classrooms and offices. The upper floor was rented to complementary social service agencies. In 1997 the dentist, who had occupied the west portion of the basement, moved out and the space was renovated for JVS Family Services. Skills for Change has occupied the whole building since 2007, but recent program changes have opened up our space and we are looking for tenants.

Leasing opportunities

We are looking for a few like-minded tenants who would like to share our space. We have private offices, ranging in price. We can provide fully functioning office space, including high-speed internet, meeting rooms, photocopy and fax machines, audio-visual equipment, and computer labs. There are also signage opportunities on the exterior and interior of the building.
