Farewell Cuppa Coffee
The time has come for animation powerhouse Cuppa Coffee (Suite 400) to venture out to their very own building on Ontario Street.
In the inagural issue of the Robertson Pipeline, we told the story of the company conceived by Owner and Executive Producer Adam Shaheen, which began it's life as a three person operation at 401 Richmond. As the work produced by Cuppa Coffee achieved acclaim, the animation house started growing and its expansion was becoming difficult to accommodate at 401 Richmond. It was decided that the facility, with close to 250 staff, would relocate to the newly acquired 215 Spadina.
As the Robertson Building's very first tenant, Cuppa made the top two floors of the building home to production studios and a set and puppet building facility that pumped out a steady stream of award-winning and artfully conceived commercials and animated features.
Cuppa will be moving out of the Robertson Building in stages beginning this fall and their departure will herald a new era for 215 making room for other organizations to join the community. We'll keep you posted as new neighbours come on board.
