The Rogers Building, located in Toronto, Ontario, Canada, is the corporate head office of Canadian media conglomerate Rogers Communications,[1] as well as the home of most, but not all, of the company's Toronto operations.
Located at 777 Jarvis Street, the complex occupies almost all of the block bounded by Jarvis, Bloor, Huntley and Isabella Streets. Mount Pleasant Road divides the northwest corner of the block from the remainder of the site, but Rogers occupies separate buildings on both sides of Mount Pleasant which are connected by above-ground walkways.
The company's cable television and magazine publishing operations, as well as its local radio stations, operate from the building. Rogers Sportsnet is the latest addition to the complex, launching their new studios on April 30, 2008.
Rogers-owned Toronto television stations CFMT-TV and CJMT-TV, CITY-TV as well as its Toronto radio station CJCL (The Fan 590) in the city, are based at 33 Dundas Street East located at Yonge and Dundas streets, Rogers-owned speciality channels including, The Biography Channel Canada, G4 Canada and OLN are based at 545 Lake Shore Boulevard West, the headquarters of Rogers Media located at Bathurst and Fleet Streets, that location also houses the master controls for its Toronto television stations.
All other Rogers-owned Toronto radio stations remain at the Rogers Building.
The Shopping Channel is based at a separate facility in Mississauga, Ontario.
Rogers acquired various parts of the block over time as expansion of the facility was planned and executed. Part of the facility's parking garage now occupies the location once used by the original studios of 100 Huntley Street. The Rogers building was originally built as the new head office of the now defunct Confederation Life insurance company, which became insolvent in 1994.
