OPG showcases new headquarters
Work progresses on the company's future corporate office
OSHAWA, ON, Oct. 10, 2023 /CNW/ - Ontario Power Generation (OPG) has given a well-known Durham Region building a notable change, unveiling new property signage for the company's future corporate headquarters on 1908 Colonel Sam Drive in Oshawa.
Dignitaries from across Durham Region toured the building, which is currently undergoing renovations in preparation for full occupancy in 2025, today.
The corporate headquarters will bring employees from across the Greater Toronto Area, and beyond, together in one location. OPG chose to renovate an existing structure, which is more economical than constructing a new building and limits the environmental impact.
Quick facts
- Visible from Highway 401 and not far from the Darlington Nuclear Generating Station, the building previously served as General Motors of Canada's corporate headquarters.
- More than 2,000 OPG employees will work at the site.
- It is adjacent to the Second Marsh Wildlife Area, a 123-hectare coastal wetland – one of the largest publicly accessible waterfronts in the Greater Toronto Area.
