Can a case be made that industrial real estate has been on a strong comeback trail for the past three years? This session will examine major investment, leasing and development trends in this property class across Canada today. To what extent can it still be categorized as a tale of two sub-markets comprised of new modern warehousing buildings vs. older vintage properties with marginal applications for many users? What does the future hold for B and C class aging and out-dated buildings? What are the greatest sources of demand for space and in which markets? How are industrial tenant requirements changing? How are landlords responding? Do rent levels now support new development in most markets? What is needed in order to move NERs higher in Toronto and Montreal? How are markets in the West performing (Vancouver, Calgary and Edmonton)? How strong is investor interest overall in industrial properties?
