Our New Home: 390 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QC - #200
Moving offices isn’t just about changing locations, it’s about setting the stage for your company’s next big leap.
Relocating a business is a significant undertaking, but with the right strategy, it can be a seamless transition that benefits both our employees and clients. Starting Monday, March 31, 2025, we officially moved into our new headquarters at 390 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest, Montréal, QC, a 15,000 sq ft space designed to support our expanding operations. This move was driven by strategic considerations and future growth opportunities.
If you're planning an office move, understanding the reasons behind our relocation and following a structured approach can help ensure a smooth transition for your business.
Why Businesses Move Offices:
Companies relocate for various reasons… Growing businesses often outgrow their current spaces, making expansion a necessity. A new location can also bring a company closer to key clients and partners. While our new office is in a different space, it remains in the same area, offering the same advantages in terms of accessibility. We continue to benefit from proximity to the Orange Line metro, nearby parking, and a prime location in the Old Port of Montréal.
Upgrading to a modern workspace enhances productivity and employee satisfaction. Our new office offers larger, dedicated spaces for each department, improving workflow efficiency and collaboration. Additionally, our new office provides improved meeting spaces, allowing us to host clients and partners in a more professional and welcoming environment. These dedicated areas support collaboration, strengthen relationships, and create opportunities for business growth.
For us, the move to 390 Rue Notre-Dame Ouest was a strategic decision aimed at optimizing operations, enhancing accessibility, and providing a better experience for our employees, clients and partners.
Key Considerations for a Successful Office Relocation:
1. Office Move Planning
A well-structured office move strategy minimizes disruptions and ensures a seamless transition. We began by setting clear objectives for the move, outlining the key reasons and goals behind our relocation. Establishing a realistic timeline was crucial in maintaining workflow continuity and reducing any potential downtime. Throughout the process, we maintained open and effective communication with employees and stakeholders, keeping everyone informed and involved in the transition.
2. Choosing the Right Location
When selecting a new office, we took several key factors into account. Proximity to transportation hubs was essential to ensure easy access for everyone. Since our new office is very close to our previous location, it retains the same advantages in terms of location, public transportation and food & beverage options. We also considered the availability of nearby amenities and services, which contribute to a more convenient and productive work environment. Scalability played a major role in our decision, as we needed a space that could accommodate future growth and evolving business needs. Finally, we evaluated the internet and technology infrastructure to ensure seamless operations and connectivity in our new location.
3. Managing Office Move Logistics
Office moves involve complex logistics that require careful coordination. One of the most important steps is hiring a professional moving company that specializes in corporate relocations, ensuring that equipment, furniture, and files are safely transported. Additionally, coordinating with IT teams was essential to guarantee a smooth transition of our technology infrastructure, minimizing downtime and maintaining business continuity.
4. Updating Business Listings and Online Presence
After moving, we updated our address on platforms like our Google Business Profile, Clutch Profile, Good Firms Profile and different map applications to maintain online visibility. We also informed clients and partners of our new location through email updates and social media announcements to ensure that all our records and information are up to date.
