Oxford Properties buys CPP Investments' stake in office portfolio in Western Canada
TORONTO — Oxford Properties Group has signed a deal to buy the Canada Pension Plan Investment Board's 50 per cent stake in a group of office properties in Western Canada that they co-own for $730 million.
The deal gives Oxford full ownership of the portfolio that includes seven downtown office properties.
Oxford is the global real estate arm of pension fund manager OMERS.
The deal covers Eau Claire Tower, Centennial Place and 400 Third in Calgary, while in Vancouver it includes the Stack, Guinness Tower, the Marine Building and MNP Tower.
Oxford and CPP Investments will still co-own a substantial portfolio across Canada.

Ontario ordering public servants back into office full time
Premier Doug Ford's government is ordering Ontario public servants to work from the office four days a week starting this fall and then full-time in January. It's a change from a policy that has been in place since April 2022, when provincial government employees were mandated to be in their offices at least three days per week. The announcement came Thursday from Treasury Board President Caroline Mulroney. It says employees of the Ontario Public Service and its provincial agencies, boards and commission will "increase their attendance to four days per week" starting Oct. 20 and transition to full-time hours in-office effective Jan. 5, 2026. The news follows on the heels of moves by four of Canada's big banks — RBC, Scotiabank, BMO and TD — that staff at their Toronto headquarters must spend at least four days a week in the office, effective this fall. It also comes just two weeks after AMAPCEO, which represents some 14,000 professional, administrative and supervisory employees in the Ontario Public Service, ratified a new collective agreement. The union says access to working from home was a key issue in bargaining and the province was "determined to eliminate" flexible work provisions in that bargaining. last September. There's been some evidence since that the policy is not being strictly enforced.
