Q4 2023

Reduced rental costs and supplementary incentives in Ottawa’s Office market

Net average rental rates across all property classes in Ottawa have declined by $1.20 psf compared to the same quarter last year. This downward pressure is particularly evident in class B and C properties, where average net asking rates have fallen by more than 10% year-over-year. Though the market remains in flux, tenants should be keeping a close eye on pricing and incentives to see if this emerging pattern continues, and how far landlords are prepared to go.
