KingSett Capital has partnered with Oliver & Bonacini Hospitality (O&B) to bring a new 20,000-square-foot event space to the 68th floor at the top of Scotia Plaza in Toronto’s Financial District.

The new space is expected to open by June 2025. It will include a 10,000-square-foot meeting and event space available to both tenants and outside parties and a 10,000-square-foot exclusive tenant amenity area with views of the city.

The southern portion of the floor (shown top of post), exclusive to the tenants of Scotia Plaza, will offer an upscale café and bar amenity outfitted in warm woods, rich stones, and steel blue accents. This versatile space will host everything from morning coffee and breakfast meetings to late afternoon drinks and light bites for colleagues and clients.

The northern portion of the floor (shown below) can be custom-configured to accommodate various event types, such as conferences, town halls, classroom-style learning, corporate social events, and other private events such as weddings for up to 250 guests, all of which will be exclusively catered and managed by O&B Catering.

Located in the heart of Toronto’s Financial District, Social Plaza is a Class ‘AAA’ office complex comprised of three integrated buildings and more than 2.2 million square feet of space. The complex is home to the global headquarters of Scotiabank and was the first major Zero Carbon – Performance Standard certified commercial building in Canada. Scotia Plaza is owned by KingSett Capital.

“We continually strive to improve our assets and provide our tenants with extraordinary work environments,” said William Logar, chief asset management officer, KingSett Capital. “At Scotia Plaza, we are building on Zero Carbon Certification and other previous improvements to create a best-in-class amenitized space on the top floor. This will provide our tenants with a unique environment to meet their evolving expectations of the workplace. We are excited to partner with O&B Hospitality Group to create this extraordinary amenity space for everyone at Scotia Plaza.”

“We are thrilled to bring our signature brand of hospitality and restaurant-quality food and beverage service, not only to the 68th floor, but to all tenants of Scotia Plaza,” said Andrew Oliver, president and CEO, O&B. “From zero-kilometer food deliver to boardrooms for lunch-and-learns to full-service catering for cocktail receptions, this partnership represents real estate as a service. Tenants will be able to enjoy access to all of our amenities, as well as utilize the 68th floor as a best-in-class meeting space and an extension of their offices, to create memorable event and culinary experiences.”
