Ottawa industrial market report

Q4 2023

Increasing vacancy rates pave the way for balance in Ottawa’s Industrial market

The vacancy rate rose by 60 basis points (bps) in the fourth quarter to 2.0% (one million sf). This marks the highest rate since Q3 2020, when 2.2% was last recorded. For the first time in many years Ottawa’s Industrial vacancy rate inched up to the 2% mark – a testament to the confidence the development community has in the industrial market segment.

With several new projects, totalling over two million sf, already in pre-leasing we can expect to see a bit more choice for those tenants looking to upgrade their leasehold interests in this market and we start to see an approach to a more balanced industrial market.
