Having opened our Edmonton office just over a year ago, we service users of all sizes and in all industries – no landlords, no developers - just tenants, so we can be completely objective, focused and minimize conflict. By concentrating single-mindedly on occupier issues, we provide our clients with the perspective and the experience to level the playing field in landlord-tenant relations. Cresa is in the tenant’s corner, and with vacancy climbing amidst continued uncertainty this unique service offering has never been of more importance. In addition to Cresa’s unbiased corporate model, our approach to real estate is entirely strategic. Before we think about space, we think about the business needs behind them. This targeted focus is supported by a complete array of integrated services that cover every stage of the real estate life cycle: from workplace intelligence; transaction management and negotiation; and finally, project management including construction and relocation. These services drive the tactical execution behind our strategic thinking, and lead directly to solutions that reduce costs, improve operations, enhance the performance and culture of your workforce.

  • 2017 Year End Office Market Report EDMONTON
    2017 Year End Office Market Report EDMONTON 15.7% 15.3% 16.3% EDMONTON OFFICE DOWNTOWN OFFICE SUBURBAN OFFICE MARKET VACANCY MARKET VACANCY MARKET VACANCY 17.2% 16.9% 17.1% (Q3 2017) (Q3 2017) (Q3 2017) 2017 YEAR END MARKET REPORT Market Trends Edmonton’s downtown Financial district is in the midst of an unprecedented development period that is reshaping the market. The transformation is being driven by the introduction of 1.8 msf of class AAA office space over a three year period from 2016 to 2018. The phased integration of three towers – Enbridge Centre, Edmonton Tower, and Stantec Tower – has prompted a flight to quality scenario as tenants vacated primarily class A space to take advantage of the new developments. The increase in office inventory partly contributed to the increase in year-over- year vacancy rate from 12.9% to 15.3% in the downtown districts. Compounding the effect was the recessionary period felt throughout the Alberta economy in the wake of the 2014 oil price decline. In general, the city-wide trend saw vacancy levels consistently increase throughout 2016 and the first half of 2017. The most recent two quarters are showing signs of stability as many of the city’s sub-markets experienced modest positive absorption. Annual Market Fundamentals Downtown Downtown Financial District Average Lease Rates Market Inventory Vacant Space 18.29 msf 2.79 msf *1.2% *19.7% $35.00 Class AAA Suburban Market Inventory Vacant Space $21.25 13.12 msf 2.14 msf Class A *0.7% *13.8% *percentage change year-over-year (msf = million square feet) Our fully integrated team approach delivers 2017 Transactions by our Office Team optimal results for our clients.
