In this episode, Steve Hamoen examines U.S. tariffs on Canada, focusing on their impact on manufacturing, industrial real estate, and the service economy. He offers economic forecasts and highlights opportunities in key sectors. The discussion explores strategic implications for commercial real estate, touching on Canada's Heritage Gold Rush, Distillery-Style Deals, and their effects on growth. Steve addresses interest rates, adaptive reuse, and Cambridge's Gaslight District. The episode also covers redevelopment projects in Sarnia and London and the influence of immigration on multifamily development, concluding with Steve's insights.
Key Points
- Canada's position under the USMCA offers a strategic advantage for attracting investment and expanding trade amidst rising U.S. tariffs on global imports.
- Service sectors like IT, legal, consulting, and finance in Canada remain largely unaffected by U.S. tariffs, driving demand for office and tech-flex spaces in key regions.
- Redevelopment opportunities in industrial and waterfront areas, such as Sarnia and Cambridge’s Gaslight District, are reshaping commercial real estate with mixed-use and heritage conversion projects.
