Great article. With so much pressure on the cost side, when the market does cool from a demand perspective, driven perhaps by anticipated softer global economic growth, this could stifle new hotel development.

The industrial asset class in Canada has become the darling of the real estate market. This has everything to do with the evolutions of ecommerce, and the inability for supply to keep pace with demand over the past four years.
Demand for #industrial space is outpacing supply in #Canada, driving national availability rates to record lows and rental rates to record highs. Download our latest report to learn what’s driving this growth and its impact on Canadian gateway markets. >>> https://t.co/D0YrLVM3XZ

Was yesterday's interest rate hike by the BOC necessary. I'm siding with David Rosenberg on this one. There is a lot of uncertainty on the table given the significant new tariffs on steel and aluminum.

Imposing chunky 25% tariffs on auto imports into the U.S. from Canada would create some stress cracks in Ontario, where GDP growth could be squeezed by as much as 2.0%. That could substantially impact residential and commercial real estate markets.

This could provide opportunities for Canadian companies and for American companies located in Canada with established trade relationships with China, but it's a complicated supply chain to unravel.
The speed of the reaction is a surprise. Tariffs = DWL = less than optimal surplus, especially for #consumers >>> #tariffs #Trade #TradeWar #China #Chinatariffs #Economy

So - Toronto housing prices are edging higher again, providing strong evidence that BoC interest rate hikes have had a very modest impact on the residential markets. Not the best outcome for the generation of Canadians locked out of ownership.

The gravy on that train is the pipeline of land for future development. Land has become one of the hottest commodities in Canada particularly in Toronto and Vancouver where industrial and multires development has been rampant.

Stanley Cup finals here Toronto comes. The Leafs will face either Tampa or Boston in the first round, and no doubt will give their opponent a good drubbing. This is the year the leafs will outshine all rivals. Go leafs!

The hot housing market in Ontario reaches into the pockets of local farmers as land values rise. Another market distortion caused by sustained low interest rates.

Agree, particularly given the stability from an employment and job growth perspective.
Dow falls more than 1,500 points. However, the long term investment nature of real estate makes CRE less volatile than stocks. There have been prior corrections this cycle and real estate has performed reasonably well through all of them. @CushWakeUS

Stantec Tower and Edmonton Tower located in downtown Edmonton, are on the block, privately owned by Katz Group and ONE Properties. This is a key disposition to watch in 2018. Two tremendous success stories amidst a market challenged by oversupply.

Toronto's shot at H2Q could be as part of a massive waterfront development project following the natural trajectory of growth south and east of the downtown market.

Big money for big data. It will be interesting to see the evolution of TR's financial data business with Blackstone taking the reins.

Escalating real estate values and rising property taxes are forcing companies to rethink where they do business. Nothing new for Vancouver, though the bottom line impact from a tax perspective can be staggering.

A couple of high-priced recent sales and increased interest in the Railtown area have meant major jumps in property values.
