Firm chooses Polo North amid employee fears
By: Murray McNeill Posted: 06/2/2011

Randy Valpy said the reasons WFG chose Polo North include cheaper rent, cheaper parking rates and the ability to add more space down the road.
Cheaper rent, cheaper parking (which the company may be subsidizing) and the availability of space for expansion. Does seem like real strong business drivers. While they tack on the whole "downtown is unsafe" arguement if it was more expensive to operate their business at Polo Park than downtown the office would be downtown, plain and simple.
