November 16, 2023 (Kingston, ON)—The Empire Life Insurance Company (Empire Life) has signed an agreement to sell its corporate head office property in Kingston to local developer Jay Patry Enterprises LLC.
The sale closes in mid-2024, and after the sale, Empire Life will continue to use the premises as its corporate head office for a period of time while it looks for other office space to lease in Kingston that is more suited to its needs.
