Lethbridge investment market report

2023 Q1

Lethbridge’s market demand remains strong

Despite the headwinds in the greater economy, Lethbridge's commercial real estate (CRE) market is projected to regain momentum by the end of 2023. Lethbridge's commercial rental rates are still lower on average than other communities of similar size and demographics in Western Canada, attracting national tenants to new builds in the area. The market's relative affordability, even in the face of increased costs will continue to play in its favor.


Local investor sentiment is cautious but optimistic

The local market has cooled in response to increased inflation and interest rates. There will likely be a ‘holding pattern’ in early 2023 for local investors, with demand for commercial real estate sale and lease activity resuming by the end of the year.


Low vacancy rates create high demand for existing space

With low vacancy rates in both industrial and retail space, new builds and redevelopments are on the horizon. In keeping with national trends, high-quality properties in accessible, attractive, amenity-rich locations will thrive.
