Metro Vancouver's office market in Q1 2026 recorded an 11.2% overall vacancy rate with 263,000 square feet of year-to-date net absorption and asking rents at $53.68 per square foot, as vacancy declined by 20 basis points quarter-over-quarter despite minimal new construction and only one office building completion. Downtown Vancouver's vacancy fell to 13.9% with leasing activity rebounding to 502,000 square feet, driven by tenants upgrading to higher-quality Class A space, while across the broader metro region 17 office projects totaling 1.2 million square feet remain under construction with nearly 55% pre-leased, and sublease inventory continued its tenth consecutive quarter of decline as the market gradually rebalances toward direct space.
The Metro Vancouver industrial market report for Q1 2026 indicates that overall vacancy tightened to 4.1% from 4.5% in the previous quarter, with strong demand concentrated in smaller units under 10,000 square feet and large-bay units exceeding 100,000 square feet, while new supply remained constrained at 768,409 square feet. Development activity shifted toward tenant-specific build-to-suit projects, which accounted for 50% of new construction starts totaling just over 900,000 square feet of the 1.1 million square feet that broke ground, while speculative and strata development declined sharply to 22% of starts from a 2025 average of 63%.
