Business Development Bank of Canada has opened a new co-sharing location in downtown Vancouver.

The BDC Square Vancouver is available to host events for small-and-medium-sized businesses, enabling them to connect with peers, clients and BDC employees, said the bank in a news release.

BDC has taken up space in the Stack, the first zero-carbon building in North America. The 550,000-square-foot building is jointly owned by Oxford Properties, a Toronto-based subsidiary of the Ontario Municipal Employees Retirement System, and the Toronto-based Canada Pension Plan Investment Board.

The multi-functional spaces have a capacity to host events for up to 125 attendees and are open daytime hours during the week.

BDC Square Vancouver’s opening comes after the bank opened BDC Squares in Montreal and Toronto.
