Postmedia Place is being celebrated amongst the greenest commercial properties in the country after winning a BOMA Canada National Earth Award in the office category. The victory was announced at the BOMEX Virtual National Awards Reception & Gala on October 21st, 2021.
BOMA Canada’s National Earth Award recognizes excellence in resource preservation and environmentally sound commercial building management.

Greenrock Commercial Services is actively working to minimize its carbon footprint by implementing energy-reduction strategies and measuring annual energy and water performance. Greenrock is a proud partner of the City of Toronto’s Green Will Initiative, which invites building owners across the city to accelerate the reduction of greenhouse gas emissions.
“We also want to thank Shiplake for the great deal of time and resources their team has spent working with us to make Postmedia Place the impressive asset it is today,” says Justin Taylor, Greenrock COO.
