(formerly 777
Jarvis Street), the complex occupies almost all of the block bounded by Jarvis,
Bloor, Huntley and Isabella streets.
Mount Pleasant Road divides the northwest corner of the block from the remainder of the site, but Rogers occupies separate buildings on both sides of Mount Pleasant which are connected by a bridge and a tunnel. Collectively, all of the interconnected buildings (in addition to nearby buildings at 333 and 350 Bloor Street East) are referred to as the Rogers Corporate Campus.
Rogers acquired various parts of the block over time, as expansion of the facility was planned and executed. Part of the facility's parking garage now occupies the location once used by the original studios of ''100 Huntley Street''. The Rogers Building was originally built as the new head office of the now defunct
Confederation Life insurance company, which became insolvent in 1994.
In 2002, the building received a major expansion.
The company's cable television and magazine publishing operations, as well as its local
radio stations (including
CFTR and
CHFI-FM), operate from 333 Bloor Street East.
