As 2025 has come to an end, we’re looking back on a year defined by growth, meaningful connections, and our community. From welcoming new tenants to launching new coworking spaces and supporting impactful charitable initiatives, this year marked an exciting chapter in Cora’s story.

- Fully leased our 375 Hagey Platinum Coworking Suites
- Relocated our own Cora Group office

These achievements emphasize our success in delivering sustainable, high‑performance work environments!
Strengthening Community Through Events & Engagement
Our properties continued to serve as vibrant hubs for connection and collaboration as well!
A Tenant BBQ Tradition
Our annual Tenant Appreciation BBQ welcomed nearly 400 tenants, continuing a tradition more than 35 years in the making. With burgers, games, and live caricatures, it was one of our most energetic events yet.
Introducing the Cora GRID to the Community
To celebrate the opening of the Cora GRID suites, we hosted an open house featuring artwork from the KW Society of Artists, creating a dynamic space where local creativity met local business.
Hosting Community Events Across Our Properties
Our buildings once again served as a platform for collaboration and innovation. This year we were proud to host:
- Networking events on the green field led by the Accelerator Centre
- Executive meetings from the University of Waterloo
- Sustainability conferences and gatherings supporting environmental leadership
- & more!
These events brought together leaders, thinkers, and innovators across the region — further strengthening Waterloo’s business and tech community.
Making an Impact Through Giving
Giving back remained central to our mission in 2025. Thanks to the generosity and dedication of our community, we contributed to several initiatives:
- Food Drive: Collected over 200 pounds of food
- Volunteer Meal Packaging: Helped prepare 1,760 meals
- Monetary Contribution to Meal Programs: Helped create 20,000 meals
- Annual Toy Drive: Matched and collected a total of 400+ toys for children in the KW region
- Cheque Toy Donation: Matched to a total donation of $10,000
These outcomes highlight what’s possible when a community comes together with purpose.
Ending the Year with Gratitude
We closed the year celebrating with our team, grateful for the relationships we’ve built and the vibrant community that surrounds us.
Here’s to an even stronger, more connected 2026!
