Private Investors Buying More Edmonton Industrial Properties as Vacancy Declines
AI Article Summary

Private investors have increased their involvement in Edmonton's industrial property market, rising to 62% in the past year from an average of about 39% over the previous five years, according to Avison Young. Alongside these investors, companies buying properties for their own use also saw an increase, contributing to a more user-driven market. The industrial vacancy rate in Greater Edmonton fell to 4.2%, supported by strong tenant demand. This dynamic is seen as indicative of a rebalance towards market stability.
