Publicis Groupe - MARANT Construction Limited

Publicis Groupe Canada is a global leader in marketing, communication, and digital transformation. The company is recognized for its integrated approach, which combines expertise in communication, media, data, and technology to provide services to major North American brands.

MARANT was awarded the project following a construction management competition conducted by the Teeple Architects. An extremely challenging project due to the aggressive eight-week schedule and the amount of base building repair work involved, including elevator upgrades. Upon completion, over 220 people relocated to the new space, which had to be 100% operational when they moved in.

As Construction Manager, MARANT coordinated closely with the architect and client to ensure their budget was achievable. The modern office environment was built within a historic brick and beam space which was fully rehabilitated and exposed as part of the design concept. The project included a rooftop patio with an interconnecting staircase with related structural work.

MARANT had only eight weeks to manage the phase one build-out of our new space - a 50,000 sf old Toronto warehouse. The base building was in ruins and the design imposed, complex. MARANT took on our project with full enthusiasm and made the impossible - possible.
