Victoria, BC — July 26th, 2026 — GT Mann Contracting, a Victoria-based general contractor specializing in commercial and residential construction, has announced a significant milestone at the new Mann Group headquarters: Building A has officially received occupancy and is now transitioning into its next phase. The completion of this stage marks a major step forward in the company's long-planned move into a purpose-built headquarters designed to support its growing team.

The Mann Group HQ project has been progressing steadily over recent months, and with Building A now occupancy-ready, the space is quickly shifting from an active construction site into a functional, day-to-day workplace. Exterior paving has been completed, and interior workspaces are now finished and ready for teams to move in.

"Reaching occupancy on Building A is a proud moment for our whole team," said Graeme Mann, President of GT Mann Contracting. "We've spent years building spaces for other people, so getting to plan, build, and now move into a headquarters designed specifically for how our teams work — and how we want to grow — is a milestone we don't take lightly."

Throughout Building A, common areas, meeting spaces, and collaborative work environments are coming together to support the way the Mann Group's teams work day to day. A new boardroom is nearing completion and will serve as the primary space for internal leadership meetings, client presentations, and partner discussions.

The front entrance and lounge area are also beginning to reflect the design vision behind the new headquarters — a welcoming, thoughtfully designed first impression for employees, clients, trades, and visitors. The finishes and layout have been carefully considered to represent the quality and attention to detail that GT Mann Contracting is known for delivering on its client projects.

The building's lunchroom is now ready to serve the growing team, with both indoor and outdoor seating. The dedicated space provides room for staff to connect, recharge, and collaborate throughout the day — a reflection of the importance the company places on team culture as it continues to expand.

"A headquarters isn't just a building — it's a statement about how you want your team to work and how you want to be experienced by the people who visit," Mann added. "We wanted a space that felt professional and polished, but also genuinely welcoming. We think we've achieved that."

The Mann Group HQ project reflects the broader growth trajectory of GT Mann Contracting and its affiliated companies, which have continued to expand their portfolio of commercial and residential builds across Vancouver Island. The new headquarters is designed to support ongoing team growth, strengthen internal collaboration, and provide a consistent home base for the company's operations.
