EA signs tenant agreement to LEED
Platinum building in South Flatz area of False Creek Flats
VANCOUVER, BC, July 30, 2021 /CNW/ - Electronic Arts
(Canada), Inc. is pleased to
confirm today that the company has reached an agreement with Low
Tide Properties and PCI Developments, to occupy 1077 Great Northern
Way in the new False Creek Flats area.
The award-winning building, which was completed in 2015, is one
of a handful in the province that has achieved LEED Platinum
certification (2017), making it one of the greenest, most
sustainable and energy efficient buildings in B.C. Those
attributes, and the multiple amenities offered in the immediate
area, align well with EA's commitments to the Environment as well
as People & Culture.
"We're excited to have this great new footprint, with amazing
amenities for our team, to add to our flagship Burnaby studio as we continue to invest in our
teams and leadership in the market," said Jon Lutz, Vice President of Strategy, Operations
and Finance. "The support to health and wellness that are present
at the new location not only helps EA attract and retain great
talent, but it provides staff with an environment in which they can
do their best work."
EA is looking forward to joining a range of other creative
technology brands, educational facilities and associations in the
False Creek Flats area, and continuing to advance British Columbia's position as leader in
innovation, a move actively supported by the provincial
government.
"The importance of B.C.'s tech sector and its ability to
stimulate innovation and investment can't be understated," said
Brenda Bailey, Parliamentary
Secretary for Technology and Innovation and MLA for Vancouver-False
Creek. "I want to congratulate EA on its decision to expand its
operations in Metro Vancouver."
While the Canadian corporate headquarters in B.C. will remain in
Burnaby, the move marks an
expansion of EA's footprint within Metro Vancouver. "Our future
move into 1077 Great Northern Way is very much in keeping with EA's
multiple green goals, including a global commitment to reduce
energy and water consumption," said Jon
Lutz.
No formal date has been identified for EA teams to take up
tenancy at 1077 Great Northern Way, but a phased move-in process is
anticipated to begin in Spring, 2022.
