In a recent poll, Cadillac Fairview found that over 76% of respondents indicated a heightened level of stress entering into September, often referred to as “Stresstember” because of the changes to routine and the transition to a new season. The survey also found that 59% of people do not regularly take a 30-minute break during their eight-hour workday.

‘Stress Less Lunch’

To help people ease into this new time of year, CF launched an initiative in Vancouver called The Stress Less Lunch, giving weekly free lunches from popular food trucks in Robson Square to those living and working downtown.

In Vancouver, Cadillac Fairview is known for major properties like CF Richmond Centre and CF Pacific Centre, which epitomize the company’s specialty—creating and managing high-quality commercial properties, including office buildings, shopping centers and mixed-use developments.

Creating and cultivating innovative spaces and experiences that bring people together in inspiring ways is an important part of Cadillac Fairview’s vision, and the company is achieving it, one vibrant space at a time. As one of North America’s prominent real estate developers and managers, CF enhances urban spaces and builds sustainable environments, but its work goes beyond the buildings to enriching the lives of Canadians.

“As leaders in commercial real estate, we strive to realize the true potential of urban spaces by creating projects that continually reimagine the future of office, retail, residential and mixed-use developments,” says Senior Director of Brand for Cadillac Fairview, Claudia Garcia Mayne. “We also strive to foster social connections within our properties across Canada.

“The Stress Less Lunch was designed to energize Vancouver’s downtown community and encourage those who live and work in the downtown core to get outside, take a break and connect with others. This is one of the many ways that Cadillac Fairview is committed to serving communities.”

Energizing Vancouver

This initiative follows on the heels of Cadillac Fairview’s recently launched partnership with Junction Market, Vancouver’s first container market, which brings a festive atmosphere to 200 Granville Street. The event showcases local artisans, food, and previously, the 2024 Olympic Games on the big screen through Cadillac Fairview’s partnership with the Canadian Olympic Committee.
