Chief Economist and Head of Market Analytics, CoStar
Carl Gomez
The Canadian economy and by extension the commercial real estate that houses it, is in the throes of recovery following a once in a generation pandemic. While all eyes are bracing for a cyclical return to pre-pandemic market conditions, behavioural and other secular changes brought on by the pandemic, or in many cases accelerated by the pandemic, will have varying impacts on the near term direction of office, industrial and retail property markets. This presentation will address both the challenges and opportunities brought on by these forces.
