The heightened demand for Toronto’s commercial and industrial properties has begun to emulate the trends in the city’s blazing residential segment, according to a recent analysis by real estate services and investment company CBRE Group.
Availability of Toronto’s commercial/industrial space stood at a miniscule 2.2% in 2018, making it the most constrained market in North America. Supply of industrial space also fell to a record low of 3.9% this year, and conditions have tightened in 8 out of 10 major commercial real estate markets.
CBRE attributed Toronto’s desirability to its near-ideal location and demographic make-up, characterized by a healthy range of budgets skewing upward.
