Vacant Calgary downtown office space at a record level

The fourth quarter of 2015 saw a continuation of uncertain commercial real estate market sentiment and closed the year with a record amount of vacant office space in Calgary's downtown core.
A report by Barclay Street Real Estate Ltd. says that over 2015 about 3.9 million square feet of office space in the downtown was returned to the market as the vacancy rate soared by 9.82% year-0ver-year from the fourth quarter of 2014 - finishing 2015 at 17.29%.

Calgary retail real estate market resilient in 2015

Calgary’s retail real estate market remained resilient during 2015 despite the drop in discretionary spending, says a new report by Barclay Street Real Estate. The overall vacancy rate rose to 2.7 per cent, up by 0.4 per cent from 2014. “The major impact on vacancy stemmed largely from successive retail chain store closures with Big Box space, which had been essentially zero for years, suddenly coming to market as Target Canada exited after two years of successive losses and Best Buy began a rebranding campaign that included closing down its sister brand Future Shop,” said the report.

Tenants gain edge in downtown Calgary office market

Downtown Calgary’s commercial real estate market is swinging in favour of tenants as more office space gets freed up in the white-collar heart of the oilpatch. Weak oil prices have caused companies to cut their head counts in recent months, pushing vacancy rates into the double-digits.
