Founded in 1988 by Mr. Shmuel Farhi, Farhi Holdings Corporation currently owns and manages more than 4 million square feet of office, retail, industrial and residential space throughout Ontario.
FHC’s tenant portfolio includes three levels of government, blue-chip companies, national and independent retailers, a wide cross-section of business offices, and not-for-profit organizations.
FHC consistently initiates and completes projects with the utmost professionalism and commitment to our work. Every design-build, retrofit, renovation or space expansion project is managed by a strong team of professionals who are thoroughly knowledgeable in all aspects of construction, government specifications, office functionality and environmental issues.
For our tenants, FHC provides the highest standards of building management and care. We take great pride in our holdings and continually enhance and upgrade our properties. Our team of professionals is able to respond to any client need in a friendly and expedient manner, regardless of the hour.
Along with our commitment to downtown revitalization in several Ontario communities, FHC’s dedication to client service was recognized with a 2004 Ontario Chamber of Commerce Outstanding Business Achievement Award.
FHC has made a considerable ongoing investment in our headquarters city of London, where we own and manage more than 1 million square feet in over 80 sites. Our local holdings include some of London’s most important heritage properties.
FHC believes architectural heritage provides a vital link to our shared history. We take special pride in our ability to creatively refurbish and restore these noteworthy buildings to ensure their long-term survival.
Working with local experts and knowledgeable contractors, we have a successful track record of finding innovative uses for each space. Then, with a commitment to heritage preservation, we reinvigorate these unique properties, transforming them into first-class, modern facilities.
FHC is continually upgrading our inventory, eg: retrofitting landmark office towers with sophisticated heating and cooling systems, emergency generator backup systems and advanced card-access security systems to provide tenants with some of the most technically-advanced office space in the market.
FHC has a ‘client first’ philosophy. We believe satisfied tenants are our greatest assets and we strive for excellence with personalized, efficient and professional service. Many of our staff have been with the company since the beginning and we continue to grow to meet the needs of our expanding portfolio.
FHC believes in sharing our success with the greater community. We are actively involved in numerous philanthropic endeavors, with a focus on assisting diverse not-for-profit organizations. Some of these assist London’s most vulnerable populations, others are leaders in the cultural sector. Our annual support of these not-for-profit tenants is now close to $1 million.
With his unprecedented 2007 ‘Heart to Heart, Dollar for Dollar’ campaign, Mr. Farhi spearheaded a fundraiser that raised more than $5 million for the Ivey Cardiac Care Centre at London Health Sciences Centre. In addition, Mr. Farhi has donated more than $1 million to Youth Opportunities Unlimited, an organization which provides safe housing, jobs, and life skills training for at-risk urban youth. |
