About Us

WolfeCorp is a real estate development, investment and management company that has been part of the evolving and dynamic King-Spadina neighbourhood in Toronto for more than 30 years.

We Believe In Our Buildings

We are proud stewards of our heritage buildings and are focused on creating spaces that foster ideas, inspire creativity and promote health, wellness and collaboration.

REIMAGINING THE WORKPLACE

We adapt the industrial architecture of an earlier era with modern interiors and technologies. The results are best-in-class buildings that meet today’s demand for distinctive workspace environments.

Our brick and beam buildings have attracted many companies seeking original features such as high ceilings, natural light, exposed structures, and hardwood floors, combined with modern mechanical and electrical systems and amenities to support their businesses.

We currently manage over

300,000 square feet

of retail, industrial and commercial brick and beam office space with an additional

630,000 square feet

of commercial office and retail space under development.

Our History

DEEP ROOTS IN THE COMMUNITY

WolfeCorp is a multi-generational family business. Beginning as garment manufacturers in Toronto’s Fashion District, the Wolfe family, recognizing an opportunity to grow, branched out into real estate. Led by Rick and Jeff Wolfe, WolfeCorp has evolved with the growth of downtown West. From an industrial neighbourhood to one proud of its vibrancy for live, work and play, King-Spadina is home.

1949: Looking North on Spadina. Steele Briggs to the East.

“Our vision has always been to maintain the brick and beam history of our buildings while adapting their use to create a distinctive workspace and modern experience for our tenants.”

“I have never seen Jeff Wolfe without a smile on his face. He makes Portland Centre feel like home and his team feel like family.

TAXI grew from a few thousand square feet in 1996 to several floors of the building by early 2000’s. Jeff helped us grow at a pace, a price, and a process that allowed us to stay focussed on our business.

Jeff has a gift for making things simple. He sees solutions where others see problems.

When TAXI expanded to New York, we had no credit history in the US. It was a challenge to secure office space. Jeff came to New York and personally endorsed us with the landlord. That was huge.

In 1996, the Portland-Wellington neighbourhood was a wasteland. There were few restaurant choices and a late night walk to the King streetcar could be iffy. The neighbourhood has grown up in infrastructure and sophistication. Portland Centre has kept pace with upkeep and upgrades but never abandoned the authentic loft feel and structural elements that are the historic essence of the district.

The Wolfe family clearly love what they do. They are always on-site and available.”

“I’ve been a tenant of the Wolfe family for over ten years. It was with two different companies and we have occupied at least six different offices (not including the time Jeff was kind enough to let me store our stuff in the basement when we were in-between offices).

The Wolfe family are definitely not your average owners. They are flexible, responsive, and most importantly, as business owners themselves, they understand that things can change. Sometimes that is for the better and sometimes for the worse, but they have always been willing to work with us to find a solution to any problem we’ve encountered.

I think anyone who ends up in a WolfeCorp building are more than lucky and I would wholeheartedly recommend them.”

“I’ve been in three offices with WolfeCorp and I’ve never worked with a group that is as responsive and easy to work with as they are. When there are issues, they’re handled immediately. I’ll happily stay as long as I can in this great space!”
