Testimonials for Griffin Centre
"It has been great to find a business centre on the North Shore that has all of the services and amenities that a downtown Vancouver business centre can provide at half the cost. As a resident of the North Shore this is invaluable. Downtown is still only 15 min away (in good traffic) if I need to be down there for a function or meeting. The staff at Griffin Centre are extremely helpful. I feel very fortunate to working on the North Shore in such a great business environment. "

“As one of the first tenants of the Griffin Centre, our experience with management and staff has been professional and friendly with attention to detail on all levels of service.
The building is conveniently located, is quiet and well maintained, the offices are well planned with modern furnishings and the main boardroom has state-of-the-art equipment for presentations and meetings. The services provided – reception, telephone answering, photocopying, boardroom set up for meetings and word processing are also of a high calibre.
Our move to this location has proven to be an excellent decision.”

"After looking at many options in Vancouver for small office space, I discovered Griffin Centre in my own back yard of North Vancouver. The offices were spacious and freshly renovated. Parking is convenient and there is a Starbucks across the street!
The location is very quiet which is a big plus when compared to my previous location. The centre staff are professional and always ready to help when called upon. My clients are mainly out of the province but if they drop in, the facilities are very impressive for a small business such as mine. There is also plenty of room to expand as the need arises."

“Griffin Centre has given us an opportunity to have a ‘home’ base for our business. With very few places to rent affordable office space on the North Shore, Griffin Centre was a perfect match for our first commercial office. The staff are professional & friendly and help keep are business running smoothly by providing many services (photocopying, mail-outs, faxing) that saves us time and money.
The office environment is quiet and relaxing. We have access to a variety of working spaces including a state-of-the-art boardroom for our important presentations and meetings. With the number of amenities that Griffin Centre has, it made sense for us to move our home office here.”

Five Questions with Jane Lightle; Publisher, Mother, Yogi
1. What do you like about Griffin Centre?
“Griffin Centre has a great location and the offices are very quiet, clean and pleasant to work in with tons of natural light and a nice décor.”
2. How has using GC helped grow your business?
“It allowed me to have more than one office at the same location so that I could work with colleagues on site rather than by remote access. Our mutual clients benefited from this and gave us more business.

3. What was the reason you chose GC in the first place?
“Location, services and that it is a brand new building with good security. I often work odd hours at night and during the weekends, so I wanted a building that was secure.”
4. What do you like about GC in comparison to your previous location?
“Location is great, offices are nicely furnished and the reception services are very handy.”
5. What do you think about the GC admin team?
“They are lovely. All very friendly and helpful and willing to go the extra mile to help out.”

"Griffin Centre was a fantastic place to start our company. The reception area and staff are very professional, which helped to make a good impression for our clients. The layout of Griffin Centre is very well thought out – the individual offices offer a quiet environment and privacy while still allowing easy access to common areas.
The location is excellent being within easy walking distance to all the amenities along Marine Drive and at Capilano Mall. There is ample free parking available within a block of the office. The Griffin Centre building has great street appeal and provides a professional and relaxing environment. Thank you for giving our business a great place to start!"
