Thanks to the valued contributions of True North Group, Cosmo Music’s new 56,000 square foot musical instrument retail facility is the largest of its kind in the world."

“True North Project Management Inc. was engaged by Gateway Centres Limited to provide Project Management services to Gateway Centres Inc. for the development of its Laurelwood Commons community shopping centre in Waterloo, Ontario during the period January 2008 through March 2009. The centre is comprised of a total of 80,000 sq. ft and is anchored by a Food Basics grocery store (32,000 sq.ft.) and a Shoppers Drug Mart (17,000 sq.ft.).

True North was very responsive to both the project and developer needs in directing and supervising all construction activities on this shopping centre to a successful completion. We were certainly satisfied with both the attention we received from True North and the final product that was delivered. Our overall attitude toward the services we received from True North is best demonstrated by the fact that they were commissioned to provide these very same project services on our development project in Niagara Falls which is currently underway.”
