Optimum Financial Group has acquired a new global headquarters in downtown Montreal.

The acquisition reaffirms Optium’s commitment to remain a local corporate citizen at the heart of the city’s business community, said the company.

Optium’s head office will relocate to 2200 McGill College Avenue, across from McGill University and overlooking Mount Royal. The LEED Gold–certified building features commercial space on the ground floor and five office floors connected to Montréal’s Underground City, aligning with Optimum’s environmental and sustainability goals.

“We will enhance the premises to offer our employees, clients and partners an experience that reflects our values of proximity, expertise and solidity,” said Anabelle Blondeau, Optium’s president and CEO.

“Our talents are key and we are delighted to provide them with this new work environment that will allow us to experience more spontaneous collaboration and empirical creativity.”

Privately owned, Optimum provides services related to actuarial consulting, global asset management, general insurance, information technology, life insurance, life reinsurance, and real estate. The company has 700 employees and operates in 20 locations in Canada, the U.S. and France.
