This strategic connection offers businesses access to Asian markets without excessive costs or delays. Additionally, Alberta's extensive pipeline network facilitates efficient import and export of products on a global scale. For businesses seeking expansion opportunities, Alberta offers ample available space.

With average rates of $12.59 per square foot compared to the GTA ($17.90), Ottawa ($22.10), and Vancouver ($16.75), businesses can optimize expenses. Furthermore, Edmonton's vacancy rate of 4.6% ensures a range of options for businesses searching for suitable spaces.
