Toronto has become a launchpad for technology companies seeking access to talent, capital, and global markets, and rising office absorption now signals that growth is taking shape on the ground, not just in the cloud. As office absorption rises across the city, the technology sector’s growth is increasingly reflected in physical workspaces designed to support collaboration, security, and long-term scale. BUILD IT Toronto is helping translate this momentum into environments where technology companies can expand with confidence.
Recent leasing data across downtown Toronto and the Greater Toronto Area shows the technology sector’s share of downtown office leasing rising from 10 percent to 15 percent year over year. The increase places tech among the market’s most active occupier groups and reinforces long-term commitments to the urban core. As companies secure space, priorities have shifted toward offices that support flexibility, collaboration, and operational longevity. BUILD IT Toronto supports this shift by delivering office construction, renovation, and remodeling solutions purpose-built for technology-driven workplaces.
“Technology companies are no longer approaching office space as a static asset,” said George Thomas, Marketing Manager for BUILD IT Toronto. “They are investing in environments that support growth, attract talent, and adapt as operations evolve, which places greater emphasis on how spaces are built and transformed.”
Leasing activity across Toronto illustrates the scale of this expansion. Major transactions include a 90,000-square-foot lease by Lyft at First Canadian Place, alongside continued uptake by flexible workspace providers supporting technology tenants. Market analysis from firms such as CoStar confirms that technology companies continue to absorb office space citywide, reinforcing sustained demand for high-quality, well-executed workplaces.
This market activity is directly reflected in BUILD IT Toronto’s recent and active project portfolio. The firm has delivered a confidential semiconductor headquarters for a global technology organization, underscoring its capability to execute complex, secure workplace environments. Office renovation projects for AECOM in Markham and Mississauga further demonstrate the company’s experience managing large-scale transformations while maintaining operational continuity. Looking ahead, an upcoming office construction project for ZURU Group, a global innovative toy and consumer goods company that utilizes technology-driven manufacturing, reinforces BUILD IT Toronto’s expanding role in supporting the region’s technology sector.
Against this backdrop, Toronto’s office market continues to tighten, with improving absorption and declining vacancy driven in part by sustained demand from technology companies. As premium office space grows more competitive, organizations are placing greater emphasis on design quality, efficiency, and long-term performance when planning workplaces. In response to these pressures, BUILD IT Toronto applies a comprehensive approach that accounts for workflow, infrastructure, sustainability, and budget clarity, aligning build strategies with both immediate requirements and future growth. Across office construction, office remodeling, and office renovation projects, the firm keeps schedules and costs predictable for technology clients navigating expansion.
As global technology investment continues to flow into Toronto through 2025 and 2026, BUILD IT Toronto stands out as a construction partner helping convert market momentum into workplaces built for performance, resilience, and scale.
