Following the purchase of 777 Bay, Property & Leasing Manager and co-owner Canderel worked with co-owners CPC and TDAM to build on the office and retail complex\u2019s legacy, reuniting 777 Bay with its original creators at WZMH Architects<\/a><\/span>.<\/p>

Along with lighting experts at Mulvey & Banani<\/a><\/span><\/span>, WZMH conceived a new architectural language as it transformed 30,000+ SF of office lobby and retail areas. The result is a series of open spaces that feel airy and luminous and create a powerful contemporary image that reflects 777 Bay\u2019s timeless quality.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
