The downtown core of Peterborough is clearly the regional “hub” of the business scene. What was once a city dominated by big, local manufacturing arms of international companies is transitioning into a more dynamic, small business, entrepreneurial hot spot with successful start-ups popping up seemingly every day.
Unicity Hub in downtown Peterborough
With a full roster of innovative businesses, meeting places and opportunities for interaction across the downtown, it only makes sense to have co-working locations in the mix.
Unicity—located at 420 George Street N.—has been a growing “hub” on the business scene for a couple years now, and with opportunity comes growth. Having filled their second floor spaces with a range of small entrepreneurial enterprises, well established consultants and professionals, it has come time to push up.
Up, in the literal way.
They’ve taken their successful model of a co-working space and grown it into their third floor, added more amenities and options. They are attracting innovative users from the region and the greater GTA.
What many start-ups lack is the ability to function in a professional atmosphere—the capital needed to make this happen is a major factor. Sure, it might be fun to sit on the couch and respond to emails and texts, but when it comes time to meet with a client, are you really all that comfortable in your basement? This is a major road to cross in the trajectory of your business.

Enter Unicity, downtown Peterborough’s sophisticated and contemporary shared office space. It offers several incredible individual office spaces of various sizes where professionals can flourish while at the same time offering a chance for camaraderie with other professionals who are travelling on a similar business path.
While the chic modern offices speak for themselves, it’s the shared space and amenities that push Unicity over the top. The meeting rooms are straight out of a contemporary, big-city setting. It’s perfect for meetings and lunches with clients in an atmosphere that screams “thoughtful design and quality”.
Need some downtime to refresh not only your mind but your body? Unicity has a gym space on site with lockers, a shower room, free weights, treadmill and other tools to help you build from the outside in. Save yourself the trip and combine your mental and physical work all under the same roof.

The brand new suites on the third floor were launched in September, and are now nearly 50 percent spoken for already. Space at Unicity can be leased for as little as $300 per month. You don’t even need to whip out your calculator to know that’s just $10 a day.
