Birmingham's office market recorded take-up of 143,464 sq ft in Q1 2026, with city centre deals totalling 106,724 sq ft across 24 transactions while out-of-town activity generated 36,470 sq ft in 6 deals. Prime rent reached £52 per square foot, representing 12% quarterly growth and 20% annual growth, vacancy remained at 11.4% (down 50 basis points year-on-year), and future supply is constrained with only 155,000 sq ft annually forecast for delivery over 2026–2028 compared to the historical average of 330,000 sq ft.
Edmonton recorded 96,144 square feet of positive net absorption in Q1 2026, with overall vacancy holding steady at 15.4%, as downtown strength—driven by the Financial district and Government cluster—offset modest suburban softness. The market is shifting toward "flight to experience" strategies where high-tier properties emphasize hospitality-driven services and plug-and-play solutions, while tenants increasingly favor flexible lease terms and furnished suites to manage build-out costs and timelines.
The Greater Montreal Area office market in Q1 2026 experienced a total availability rate of 18.4%, down from the previous quarter, with positive net absorption of 252,000 square feet marking the fifth consecutive quarter of growth since 2019.

The Edmonton Industrial Market Report for Q1 2026 from Avison Young documents Greater Edmonton's industrial market conditions, noting 12,044 square feet of negative absorption with vacancy remaining flat at 3.8%, driven partly by a single large-scale older generation property of 277,606 square feet entering the market. The report identifies three key market drivers: defense industry positioning linked to Canadian Forces Base Edmonton and the Royal Canadian Air Force's anticipated Western Main Operating Base; recreation operators (pickleball clubs, climbing facilities, sports leagues) leasing mid-size industrial spaces between 15,000 to 45,000 square feet; and data centre development momentum around powered sites including the Keephills project involving TransAlta, CPP Investments, and Brookfield, and Project Greenlight in Sturgeon County backed by Pembina, Kineticor, and OPTrust.
The Greater Montreal Investment Review reports that the Greater Montreal Area saw a 35% year-over-year increase in investment volume in 2025, reaching $10.1 billion in transaction volume for the first half of the year, with multi-residential assets jumping 105%, industrial assets declining 31%, shopping center sales rising 48%, and office transaction volume increasing 22%.

Calgary's office market in Q1 2026 recorded 46,589 square feet of city-wide absorption with an overall vacancy rate of 22.8%, down 0.1% from the previous quarter, while downtown faced structural headwinds from energy sector consolidation and M&A activity with a 27.6% vacancy rate, though the Beltline and suburbs showed resilience with respective vacancy rates of 15.6% and 16.2%. Startup energy companies and residential conversions emerged as positive drivers, with investor confidence reflected in strategic acquisitions including Dominium's $60 million purchase of the Imperial Oil campus in Quarry Park and other notable transactions in the suburban and urban submarkets.
The Calgary Industrial Market Report Q1 2026 covers leasing activity, construction trends, and land acquisition patterns in Calgary's industrial sector, finding that speculative construction surged with over 4 million square feet slated for delivery by 2027, while owner-users dominated sales activity at 68% of total volume compared to 50% in 2025, with the overall vacancy rate at 4.3%. The report notes that despite negative absorption in the large format segment, demand is growing steadily, land prices increased 12% per acre year-over-year, and 2.4 million square feet of the 4.4 million square feet under construction is pre-leased.
The Greater Montreal Area industrial market report for Q1 2026 shows stabilization after an extended adjustment period, with a vacancy rate holding at 7.6% and positive absorption of 554,000 square feet in the first quarter. Industrial demand remains positive but more targeted toward operational efficiency and flexibility, while approximately 2.4 million square feet are under construction, representing a significantly scaled-back development activity relative to existing inventory.
Calgary's retail market in Q1 2026 showed a total vacancy rate of 3.2% with 46.5 million square feet of inventory and average achieved rents of $37.60 per square foot, supported by a resilient economy, strong labour market, and healthy demand for grocery-anchored and service-based retailers. The report identifies three key trends: evolving consumer preferences driving demand for experiential and convenience retail, federal-provincial childcare funding reshaping the market with increased absorption of commercial real estate by non-profit operators, and Competition Bureau enforcement creating new legal risks around exclusivity clauses and restrictive covenants in retail leases across all sectors.
Edmonton's retail market demonstrates resilience with a 4.9% vacancy rate (up 0.4% from 2024), 37.9 million square feet of total inventory (up 365,000 sf from 2024), 543,000 square feet under construction year-to-date 2025, and average base rent of $36.14 per square foot (up $3.88 from 2024), signaling ongoing recovery and stability following pandemic disruptions. The document identifies three key retail trends: Edmonton leads Canada in per capita retail expenditures driven by energy-sector employment and population growth; federal-provincial childcare funding has reshaped the market toward non-profit and preschool-only operators; and Competition Bureau enforcement has placed new scrutiny on exclusivity clauses and restrictive covenants in retail leases across all sectors.
The Greater Toronto office market experienced significant recovery in Q1 2026, with the overall availability rate declining 160 basis points to 17.6% and vacancy falling 140 basis points to 15.7%, driven largely by strong leasing activity that added 2.1 million square feet across the region. Downtown Toronto led the recovery with availability dropping to 15.5% and vacancy to 13.1%, while zero new office building completions occurred during the quarter, with only 1.4 million square feet from CIBC Square Phase II remaining under construction and scheduled for Q2 2026 delivery.
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%.
Vancouver's multifamily market report by Avison Young covers H1 2025 trends, noting that nearly 20,000 rental units are under construction as of July 2025 despite structural challenges expected to create supply shortfalls in 2-3 years, while the market has shifted toward buyers with cap rates exceeding 4%, vacancy at 1.9%, average rents at $2,830 per month, and annual rent declines of 7.0%. The report identifies private capital as increasingly dominant as institutional investors retreat, with activity concentrated in value-add segments and well-located competitively-priced assets, while zoning reforms and federal programs support affordable housing development.
The Avison Young Metro Vancouver office market report for Q1 2026 tracks market fundamentals including a vacancy rate of 11.8% (down from 12.4% in Q4 2025), 8.0 million square feet available, $55.11 average gross asking rent per square foot, and 321,000 square feet of absorption in the quarter. Small and mid-sized tenants are driving leasing momentum particularly in the 3,000 to 8,000 square foot range, tenant requirements are becoming more function-focused, and elevated inducements remain central to leasing negotiations as the market gradually rebalances.
