Navigator Ltd. - MARANT Construction Limited

Navigator Ltd. is a public strategy and communications firm based in Canada, specializing in high-stakes situations. The company offers a range of services, including crisis response, government relations, and capital markets advisory and are well-known for their work with prominent Canadian clients and organizations.

MARANT was retained as Construction Manager by Navigator’s Project Manager and their relocation team. The company had outgrown its space and was keen for the opportunity to create a new workplace environment that better suited its culture and the needs of its employees and, specifically, its clients.

A unique aspect of the 18th floor space was a two-storey atrium area, which was integrated into a multipurpose room that is used as a lunch room, lounge and as an open area for client receptions. Unique lighting fixtures, millwork, wall and floor treatments were incorporated into the space giving it a sophisticated yet grounded tone.

The entrance to the suite has an off centre vestibule with a side entry that is uncommon in corporate office towers. The door and surround is quarter cut walnut with hidden custom hardware that links the demising walls, which are custom glazing. A truly original space that was completed on time and budget to the great delight of Navigator’s team.

I was very impressed with the level of detail and dedication to our project that MARANT’s team provided. Our site superintendent was the best I have ever experienced.... he was terrific in every way, and gave 110% to getting our project done right and on time.
