Calgary, Alberta, Canada Edmonton, Alberta, Canada Contact <strong>NAI</strong> Commercial Calgary +1 403 214 2344 Country Data Area (Sq Mi) GDP Growth GDP 2011 (US$ B) GDP/Capita (US$) Inflation Rate Unemployment Rate Interest Rate Population (Millions) 3,855,100 2.7% $1,632.89 $47,340.29 2.0% 7.5% 1.0% 34.493 Calgary is the largest city in Alberta with a population closing in on 1,100,000. It is located in the southern half of Alberta, just two hours north of the US border and one and a half hours east of the Rocky Mountains. Calgary is a distribution center for western Canada as well as home to the head office city for the Alberta Oilsands. 2011 was a recovery year in Calgary as projects are taken off the shelf and vacancy rates return to historical averages. Calgary’s downtown office market is on the verge of eclipsing 40,000,000 SF due to the development of over 10,000,000 SF in the last six years. This unprecedented building boom had caused vacancy rates to climb to a high of 14% in the CBD and 22% in the suburban markets/beltline, leaving a total of +/-9,000,000 SF vacant in 2009. 2011 has proven to be an exceptional recovery year for the market with the absorption of over 2,000,000 SF. Buoyed by high oil prices and reduced rental rates, office absorption has now eclipsed 3,000,000 SF in the last 24 months and shows no signs of easing. There is approximately 32,000,000 SF of retail premises in Calgary, boasting a vacancy rate of approximately 5%. New construction underway equals approximately 300,000 SF with another 200,000 SF of new construction anticipated over the next six months. Significant news in the retail sector includes; the acquisition of Zellers by Target, acquisition of Sport Chek by Canadian Tire and the emergence of American retailers such as Five Guys Burger and Fries, Buffalo Wild Wings and the potential for more including Nordstrom’s, Walgreen’s and Big Lots Inc. Calgary’s industrial market has been relatively stable over the past several years with vacancy rates steadily decreasing to just over 4%. With minimal new developments commenced, it is forecasted that vacancy rates will continue to decline and rental rates will increase. Average rental rates for space start at $6/SF for larger areas and increases to $9 to $10/SF for smaller areas. The industrial market consists of +/-110,000,000 SF of space with +/- 2,000,000 SF planned for construction within the next 12 month. Calgary’s outlook is extremely positive and poised for strong growth in the coming years, provided the Alberta Oilsands remain a globally accepted source of oil. The outlook for office, industrial and retail are all well balanced with land supplies available, construction prices back in balance and steady demand by all tenants across the board.

Oil, Gas and Oilsands projects make up 75% of this total. Edmonton is a staging ground for the north. The potential for growth is immensely supported by statistics, such as in the month of June 2011 there were more jobs created in Alberta than throughout the entire United States (22,000 vs. 18,000). The Investment market has experienced increased activity with mainly large scale transactions and there continues to be limited availability of small investment properties. Edmonton’s first new office tower in 20 years opened this past September. The first of four towers planned for the site, Epcor Tower is a 30 story, 618,000 SF building, home to Epcor, Capital Power and the Federal Department of Justice. This ‘Epcor Effect’ has resulted in a reduction in lease rates as landlords have become more competitive to offset the increased inventory available. The suburban office market is now under further pressure reducing rates as the increased inventory/vacancy downtown will provide an incentive for office tenants to relocate. Edmonton’s retail market remains strong and has seen a significant reduction to an already low vacancy. Target has paid $1.8 billion to buy over 200 Canadian Zellers department store’s leases. Big Lots Inc. purchased Liquidation World Inc. for their first expansion outside of the US through a network of 89 stores. American retailers Cabela’s Outfitters and Lowe’s Home Improvement opened their first locations in Edmonton. Industrial buyers and tenants have few options to choose from as market activity increases. Small lease bays are taken up quickly and few availabilities present themselves for 50,000 SF plus users. Industrial Land has also seen an increase in sales activity and a rebound in pricing. A sampling of sales on parcels from one to five acres this year shows an average price of $636,000 per acre versus $512,820 a year prior. Whether you blog, tweet or read the headlines, current real estate markets are viewed cautiously. If you consider the strength in retail, our first new office tower in two decades and the Oilsands projects, Edmonton remains a great market to invest.
