Greater Montreal industrial market report

The Greater Montréal industrial market is showing clear signs of stabilization after an extended period of adjustment. Positive absorption in the first quarter, combined with a slowdown in the growth of available space, points to a gradual improvement in the balance between supply and demand. In 2026, industrial development activity remains present but has scaled back significantly. With approximately 2.4 msf under construction, the addition of new supply is exerting targeted pressure on the market.

Greater Montreal investment review

Recent investment activity was largely dominated by local investors. Montréal-based players have the means and the will to deploy capital in a market they know best. As predictability boosts investor confidence, national players will however come back, raising velocity and narrowing bid-ask spreads.

  • Montréal's industrial inventory is being rejuvenated and renewed, gradually narrowing the modernity gap with other Canadian markets. The relatively high vacancy rate for buildings built before 1976, at 5.3% in Montréal compared with less than 2.0% elsewhere in Canada, partly explains why vacancy rates have traditionally been higher in the GMA. This trend should ease as obsolete inventory is converted and demolished.

    Montréal’s inventory, the cradle of industrialization in North America, stands out for its high proportion of buildings built before 1976, accounting for 42% of the total market. This percentage, which reflects the city's rich industrial heritage, is by far the highest in the country.
