TEK Tower (30 Francis) | 45 fl | U/C

There's a big parking lot kitty corner from here owned by manulife. Maybe they're waiting to buy up those houses in the block so they can make a bigger project?

I think Manulife has stuff on hold until they figure out the future of the current building. There was another tower proposed for the lot you're talking about, it got as far as building permits issued and everything, but Manulife pulled the plug.

Manulife is trying to lease out the current building, but of course no one is signing office leases right now. Faire and Google were going to split the building, but Covid WFH hit before the deals were finalized I believe.

This is correct. Manulife is also incredibly crammed at their king st office. I think theres a possibility they may take part of this building back for themselves but we shall see. 


Something will come of that parking lot eventually though.
