The commercial real estate landscape in Vancouver is poised for positive changes in 2025, according to CBRE's latest market outlook. While the B.C. economy has cooled from its previous heights, several key indicators suggest improvement across various sectors.
Office Market Rebounds
Downtown Vancouver's office market is showing signs of recovery despite vacancy rates hovering between 11% and 12%. An encouraging development is the return of long-term lease commitments, with nearly 70% of recent transactions spanning five years or more. The market is currently tracking approximately 800,000 square feet of office requirements, indicating robust demand across diverse industries.
Industrial Space Faces Adjustment Period
The industrial sector is experiencing a period of transformation. After years of extremely low vacancy rates, the market is adjusting to decreased demand and significant new construction. This shift is expected to lead to increased availability in the coming year.
Retail Sector Maintains Strength
Vancouver's retail market continues to thrive, supported by strong population growth and tourism. Prime locations are seeing continued success with new store openings, particularly in major retail corridors. However, experts note that declining consumer spending could impact non-essential and luxury retailers.
Housing Market: A Tale of Low Vacancy and Softening Rents
In a unique paradox, Vancouver maintains North America's lowest apartment vacancy rate at below 1%, yet rental prices are declining. This situation may reflect broader economic conditions and migration patterns, particularly to Alberta.
Investment Outlook Brightens
The investment landscape shows promising signs of recovery, with commercial property trades in early 2024 exceeding the five-year average by 5%. The market has seen several significant transactions, including record-breaking deals in both office and industrial sectors, suggesting renewed confidence among investors.
The road ahead for Vancouver's commercial real estate market appears promising, though challenges remain in certain sectors. As the market continues to evolve, adaptability and strategic positioning will be key for success in 2025.
