Our take on tariffs
The Canadian CRE perspective
Welcome to Our Take on Tariffs — an interview series exploring how global trade dynamics and tariffs are influencing our commercial real estate landscape. Through candid conversations with Avison Young leaders across Canada, we explore sector-specific impacts and provide on-the-ground insights.
As a company that began in Canada in the 1970s — founded by people passionate about doing real estate differently — we bring a uniquely Canadian lens to our insights. That legacy continues to shape how we think, work, and show up for our clients today. These conversations are more than just commentary; they reflect our values of curiosity, transparency, and a deep commitment to our local markets.
This is an evolving story, and this page will grow as we continue to speak with our experts across the country. Check back often to hear directly from the voices shaping the future of Canadian commercial real estate.
