The Robertson Building

Did you know that the City of Toronto supports nearly a million adult cyclists on its busy streets and avenues? At the Robertson Building over fifty cyclists take their bikes up and down the steps each day. Urbanspace Property Group wishes to applaud our dedicated tenants who cycle to work each day! You are each making a contribution to the quality of the surrounding air, water and soil in our city and more importantly, to the health of city residents. Thank you!

Many of you have noticed and taken advantage of the new wall-mounted bike racks that have been installed in the basement area. There are currently twenty-six new blue bike rack units. These units are safe, easy-to-use, neat and secure. Some of you are actively using the system, while others choose to stand their bikes against walls along hallways or against permanent fixtures. Please give us a call if you need help securing your bike to the wall units. We are also able to tailor a wall-mount unit to your particular bike to ensure it is safe and secure.

Did you know that our City has a Toronto Bike Plan (TBP)? The TBP is a ten-year initiative that was designed to guide the development and maintenance of cycling infrastructure and programs throughout the City. The vision for the Toronto Bike Plan is to create a safe, comfortable and bicycle friendly environment in Toronto, which encourages people of all ages to use bicycles for everyday transportation and enjoyment.
