Maybe they should re-name it Citi Hall.

A number of London’s municipal services are moving into a new downtown home, leaving the Market Tower at the Richmond-Dundas street intersection and into Citi Plaza – the former Galleria – by next spring.

The move into the new space will save the city “hundreds of thousands of dollars” over a five-year lease.

The services will be located in the former CitiFinancial space on the mall’s second floor. They will be: social services; parks/recreation including Spectrum; neighbourhood, children’s and fire services; and some finance department workers.

The Market Tower space had been leased from land owner Shmuel Farhi. Dispersing of city services throughout the core has been made necessary due to the cramped quarters at city hall, 300 Dufferin Ave.
