OPG recently signed an agreement to purchase the former General Motors of Canada building and surrounding lands in Durham Region. This 285,000-square-foot building, located at 1908 Colonel Sam Drive in Oshawa, will serve as the company’s new corporate headquarters.
OPG had previously planned to construct a new headquarters in Clarington Energy Park.
According to the news release, the GM building will be retrofitted prior to occupancy in late 2024. OPG says its decision to establish its headquarters in Oshawa is a testament to the region’s growing reputation as an international destination for clean energy technology.
