The company will occupy 127,000 square feet at BRiC, the largest executed lease in Boca Raton in over a year.

They are the perfect addition to the culture we are fostering at BRiC.”

 

Canon Solutions America moved to BRiC from across the street at 5600 Broken Sound Boulevard. Its new space was originally a warehouse which had been unoccupied since 2012, when it served as Boca Raton’s post office. Designed by global architecture, planning and design firm CallisonRTKL, the space has been converted into a state-of-the-art showroom, including a newly designed floating canopy entrance and Class A lobby which will welcome visitors from all over the world. The project also included the transformation of a mezzanine, which had not been occupied since IBM inhabited the space, into a collaborative, open-ceiling workspace that can seat 200 employees.

 

“We are beyond excited for the opportunities that our new home at BRiC will afford us,” said Shinichi (Sam) Yoshida, chairman and CEO, Canon Solutions America, Inc. “In particular, we are proud to open our best-in-class Customer Innovation Center, which is equipped with advanced inkjet technology and the latest devices and solutions for enterprise, large format, and production printing from Canon.”

New talks explore Boca’s tech comeback

Will Boca make a comeback as a high-tech hub? Not for lack of trying. The personal computer was born in Boca at IBM’s former complex here that peaked at 10,000 employees in the ‘80s? Reborn as Boca Raton Innovation Campus, BRiC has teamed up with the historical society and experts for three virtual Tech Talks on the city’s past and future as a technology center.
