BURLINGTON, ON

This downtown vibrancy that gets talked about may get upped a notch or two.

The movie theatre that used to be at 460 Brant Street might get revived and the old Regus operation that rented small office space to people that didn’t need more than an office might be coming back to life.

George Matt, who runs DTR Solutions in Burlington is looking at the third floor space and doing some market research to see if there is enough demand to make it a viable venture.

He wants to add additional services – accounting, web site development, not much on the specifics however.

Matt says the DTR Business Centre is going to be catalyst for the SME market place in Burlington. The objective is to provide not just an office space for small business owners but also the proper resources to help facilitate their growth.

Some of the additional services we will be providing for the tenants will be:

– Accounting and Financial Services
– Technology Services (Web Design, IT Support, Computer Hardware/Software, etc.)
– Event Planning Services

Lino A. Fera, a seasoned executive who focuses on the vision of a business, will speak to prospective clients for a new downtown business centre.

On May 22nd and 23rd DTR will be hosting a 2 day ‘Open Office Event’ at 460 Brant Street – 3rd floor – to showcase the amenities and commercial office space to potential tenants. On Saturday, May 23rd at 11:00 am all attendees will have an opportunity to take in a one hour complimentary Entrepreneurship Seminar with keynote speaker Lino A. Fera, a seasoned executive who focuses on the vision of a business.

The Seminar will take place in the Theatre on the ground floor.

Regus, an International company that has hundreds of serviced offices around the world, wasn’t able to make a go of it in Burlington – even though there are a number of serviced offices in Burlington, especially along the Service Roads.

The HiVe set up a very well appointed clutch of offices on Elizabeth Street and held one of the better opening parties this city has seen – but it didn’t translate into enough revenue to cover all the costs.

The HiVe has moved to Guelph Line and Harvester Road where they certainly won’t run out of space.
