After four years of volatility, Canada\u2019s real estate investment trusts (REITs) are finally regaining their footing. While the broader stock market saw 30 per cent gains last year, REITs are now hitting their stride, showing a promising path back to historical 8 to 10 per cent annual growth. Market analysts highlight a clear shift: industrial assets and grocery-anchored retail remain resilient, while the seniors housing sector is surging due to supply-demand imbalances. Conversely, the outlook for multi-family rentals remains dampened by falling rents. Interestingly, Toronto is leading a national office recovery, with downtown vacancy rates dropping to 14.4 per cent in Q1 2026. As the interest rate environment stabilizes, investors are recalibrating their portfolios toward these high-performing asset classes. For a deeper dive into the specific sector performance and expert forecasts for the coming year, read the full report at the Toronto Star.<\/p>\n
