Key Points
- Ontario’s office market is stabilizing with strong demand for Class A spaces in major cities, though older Class B properties face challenges.
- Retail properties in Ontario are benefiting from increased consumer spending and limited new construction, driving competition for prime locations and repurposing underutilized assets.
- The industrial real estate sector remains robust with high demand for warehouse and logistics space, maintaining low vacancy rates despite reduced new construction starts.
