Welcome to Edmonton

Located in Alberta, Edmonton is the provincial capital and serves as the staging point for the large-scale oil sands projects based in the northern part of the province. World-leading oil and gas exploration, production and service companies maintain large operations here and, due to its central location between BC and other Prairie provinces, the city provides a regional transportation link to Asia, the U.S., and Canada’s North while fostering national and international trade.

Edmonton’s position as a leader in global energy markets has led to a diverse, highly-educated, and rapidly-expanding population of more than 1.2 million, which exceeds national averages in income, employment and several other categories. In addition to energy, major industries include tourism, transportation and high-technology, which all benefit from the presence of internally-renowned post-secondary educational facilities. Accordingly, Edmonton has a thriving commercial real estate market, which has displayed resilience to global economic challenges. Thanks to the city’s wide-open landscape, real estate market expansion faces few geographic barriers and benefits from a high level of available land.
