Employees at the Microsoft Canadian Development Centre have vacated their 73,000 square feet of office space in East Richmond.
The software company moved out of the two buildings it leased at Crestwood Corporate Centre near No. 6 Road and Westminster Highway and has relocated to downtown Vancouver.
No spokesperson from Microsoft was available for comment, but the company stated in an e-mail that: “Microsoft has consolidated offices to gain business efficiencies and our employees have moved to Vancouver.”
“Our team has already been relocated and now Microsoft employs approximately 300 people in the Lower Mainland in various capacities and municipalities,” the e-mail said.
