A New Proposal Has Arisen for 171 Front Street (Data Centre)

Check out the New Proposal for 171 Front Street. Looks pretty good, and should be right at home among the coming redevelopment proposals along the Strip on Bremner and Front Street. This proposal is between the Citi-Group Place Tower and the Intercontinental Hotel section of the Metro Convention Centre. It is used as a office for Data Servers, and harddrive equipment for Telecommunications companies. I never knew there was a market for rentals of space, where you can store your computer, but if you have this in mind for your business, these are the guys you need to get in touch with. Apparently it's big business.

Factoring The Toronto Economic Forecast 2013What does the future hold for Toronto's Economy in the 2013 year? I'm doing a forecast based on a number of economic variables, to determine performance of our diversified economy and any external and internal impacts that might influence growth in the Golden Horseshoe Region (GTA). The factors that seem to have the most impact on Toronto is the Global Financial Markets, and Global Currency Markets, outside of that internal factors that determine the growth of the region are heavily tied to our skyscraper and construction industries now amounting to some 7% of Canadian GDP. And construction itself is tied to macro-economic factors such as National and Global Interest rates, or cost of money. So, one by one, we will factor each of these impacts on the Toronto Economy.
