‘Flight to quality’ improves outlook for office market
Canada’s office real-estate market is showing signs of recovery as return-to-office mandates, falling interest rates and record-low construction drive demand.
Third-quarter 2025 data from real-estate firms such as CBRE, Colliers and Avison Young show downtown vacancy rates decreasing in most major markets for the first time since the pandemic. National net absorption is positive – meaning more space is being leased than vacated – and asking rents are holding steady.
