The Junction Triangle has it all,  it terms of seedy unused rail sidings, old deeply historical industrial buildings, and quick access to the “downtown” of Toronto.

Soon it will a easy to grab a  shuttle  to the airport by train. Parts of the triangle are in the west side of the Bloor St. subway line.

The triangle also has a great share of  the old time restaurants that have populated the area for years and excelled at creating great ethic food and new restaurants from the huge all Junction areas  restaurant boom.

The Greater Junction Area is the best place to plop down your new light technological business, your engineering practice, your towering vertical farm, your new Bauhaus movement, well you get the idea.

Where would Ubisoft find everything it needs and wants in Toronto other that the Greater Junction Area. Nooooooooooooowhere!

Located in the heart of the Junction Triangle, Ubisoft Toronto currently occupies the old General Electric plant on 224 Wallace Avenue. It is one of 26 worldwide studios operated by Ubisoft Entertainment S.A., a video game developer and publisher based out of Montreuil, France.

The Toronto studio, which officially opened towards the end of 2009, was made possible when the Government of Ontario agreed to contribute $263-million in tax incentives and subsidies over the course of ten years to help offset the cost starting up a new game development operation.

On a more-local level, the hope is that the company can replicate in Toronto the success it experienced in Montreal. As with its Toronto studio, Ubisoft was persuaded to come to Montreal when the provincial government of Quebec agreed to a generous subsidy plan. Since it was founded in 1997, Béland’s old workplace has grown to employ more than 2,300 individuals, making it one of the largest game development houses in North America.

Béland says the fortunes of the studio’s neighbourhood, Montreal’s historic Mile End district, have changed significantly as well. What used to be a neighbourhood down on its luck is now one of Montreal’s most vibrant. Ubisoft and the individuals that come every day to work at its Toronto office have already had a similar effect on the Junction Triangle.
