Client Objectives

In 2019, hockey apparel manufacturing giant, Bauer, found itself in a predicament.
The company had been operating out of a traditional office space previously occupied by a professional services firm.
This space, located on the upper floor of a commercial building, was ill-suited for their operations.
It was outdated, uninspiring, and did not meet the company's functional needs, particularly in terms of shipping and receiving and equipment and apparel storage.
Bauer regularly received large shipments of hockey apparel and equipment, but the office space's layout and location made this process cumbersome and inefficient.
Their existing space did not reflect the vibrant and dynamic nature of the company's brand.
This lack of alignment between the office space and the brand identity also affected employee attraction and retention.
Bauer desired a functional office space that would streamline shipping and receiving operations.
They sought a space that would better reflect their brand identity, fostering employee morale and attracting top talent.

Cresa Toronto identified Bauer’s needs and aspirations for new office space through an integrated real estate solution, project management and design process.
After extensive research and analysis, a suitable building with amenities including a gym, golf simulator, yoga studio, food services, convenience store and outdoor green space was identified.
Once the new space was selected, Cresa Toronto’s project management and design professionals collaborated to value engineer existing improvements within the suite.
This process involved optimizing the layout and functionality of the space while adhering to budget constraints.
Through careful planning and resource allocation, Bauer was able to maximize the value of their investment.
The relocation to the new office space marked a significant transformation for Bauer. The new space addressed their functional needs and aligned with their brand identity, fostering a sense of pride and motivation among employees.
The modern amenities provided an added benefit, contributing to a positive work environment and enhancing employee satisfaction.
