Investing in Canadian Real Estate: For Savvy Investors, Commercial ...

Canada?s commercial real estate market has roared back to life but where are the best returns and safety for investors looking forward?

Despite the incredible performance of Canadian commercial real estate over the last two years experts predict that this is really just the beginning of a new era. There clearly isn?t much of an argument against real estate standing out at the best investment vehicle both right now and ahead but while residential real estate continues to do OK, commercial property investments are clearly where it is at for savvy investors.

A recent Commercial Investor Report revealed positive growth in commercial real estate sales and dollar volume in virtually every market in Canada for the first half of 2012, with demand continuing to outpace supply.

This of course continues to drive up property values and returns and it isn?t just big funds wading in either, Realtors report private investors and smaller investment groups are also gaining a ?serious foothold? in the market, especially when it comes
to urban and suburban retail storefronts.

So where to invest to cash in on this trend?

All eyes are clearly on Alberta as the superior commercial real estate investment destination of the moment. Calgary has done very well in the past and will no doubt continue to do OK in the near future, even if its popularity and expensive market cause growth to slow as we hit the end of 2012.

Those looking for more growth, better returns and more security are increasingly turning to Edmonton as their favorite investment destination and it is definitely a market pegged to continue to see a rapid upward swing well through 2013 and beyond.

The recent rise in manufacturing sales, which hit $6.2 billion in AB in August, shows a solid foundation and backbone, one places like the U.S. lacks.

This of course signals strength in the industrial real estate sector, while multifamily is booming from the massive influx of new population fleeing other provinces, Europe and even America. Office is holding up well too and even new buildings are being leased well before being finished.

However, it is retail property which is really the hot item today. New brands continue to surge in to Edmonton, head offices are relocating here from Calgary, retail sales and consumer confidence continues to rise and it is clearly a favorite among the swarms of new residents flooding into the province.

So investors looking for the maximum potential growth, security and long term passive income streams as well as above average returns will certainly find shopping plazas in Edmonton a superior commercial real estate investment option now and looking forward over the next 5 plus years.
