Jade Court Office Complex

The 3-storey Jade Court Office Complex is located one block north of the previously completed "Alloy Park Business Centre", also designed by HBG Architect Inc. for Bruno's Contracting.

In contrast to the "curtainwall" design of the Alloy Park complex, the Owner requested the use of precast concete panels utilizing aggregate from one of their many pits in the area. The panels were highlighted with a "wash" to expose the fine rounded aggregate. The result is a bold linear look, one of strength and mass so inherent with precast concrete.

The ground floor is occupied with the regional offices of the Investors Group while the upper two floors house the local WSIB offices. The leasehold improvements were in addition to the base contract of $3,000,000.

The east facade of this impressive structure is an imposing addition to the Balmoral corridor, a major n/s link in central Thunder Bay.
