OPTrust, partners enters leasing transaction for Google in Toronto

As part of a group of investors, the OPSEU Pension Trust is entering into a long-term leasing transaction with Google.

The agreement will see the technology company lease 400,000 square feet of Toronto office space at 65 King St. East in 2021. The move will allow Google to consolidate its current Greater Toronto Area offices into one location.

“At OPTrust, our focus is the security and stability of our members’ retirements and we invest and manage our portfolio in alignment with those long-term interests,” said Rob Douglas, managing director of real estate investments at OPTrust, in a press release.
