Business Profiles

For businesses with a small staff, for startups just getting off the ground, and for entrepreneurs tired of working from their local coffee shop, there is a solution: Markham Executive Offices.

Located in Canada’s high-tech capital, Markham Executive Offices offers upscale office space, administrative assistance, reception services and more at a competitive rate and for a flexible duration. With two central locations to choose from – Woodbine Avenue and Steeles Avenue, and Highway 7 and Warden Avenue – this business centre boasts 35,000 square feet of upscale, furnished space.

“We provide two things: a professional representation for their business, and the flexibility that a lot of businesses need,” explains Elizabeth Dawson, the centre’s manager. “Our tagline is ‘Your office, Your way’ and that’s exactly what it is.” Clients have access to “meeting rooms, private offices, training rooms, and funky lounges, by the hour, day, month, year; however they need it.” For businesses that don’t require office space, Markham Executive Offices offers virtual representation by answering phone calls and providing a business address.

Dawson’s clientele includes lawyers, accountants, engineering firms, and branch offices of U.S corporations expanding into Canada. “I like watching people grow their businesses and attain success,” says Elizabeth. “It’s important for me to help startup businesses in particular, get to that next level.”

To assist with that, Elizabeth helps tenants make use of her connections with the Markham Board of Trade and Markham’s Small Business Enterprise Centre. She also provides evening networking sessions – free to tenants – where expert guests come to speak about pertinent business topics.

The rapidways currently being constructed along Highway 7 will improve transit in Markham and add even further value to the location of Markham Executive Offices, which has great access to Highways 404, 407, and 401. “Anything that can facilitate easier access is attractive,” says Elizabeth. “When you’re growing your business, transit is something that one looks at. You’ve got to take into account that not everybody has a car, particularly coming up from downtown [Toronto], but you can still draw on that pool of talent as your resources.”
