The GTA office market is officially staging a comeback. According to CBRE\u2019s Q2 2026 data, the national office vacancy rate has dropped to 17.1%, marking a full year of sustained recovery. Toronto is at the forefront of this shift, leading the country in net absorption alongside Calgary and Montreal. <\/p>\n

Perhaps most notable for investors is the tightening of premium supply. With Toronto\u2019s AAA office vacancy rate now sitting at a razor-thin 2.6%, demand is rapidly spilling over into Class A and B assets. This ‘trickle-down’ effect is further accelerated by a near-total halt in new construction and the removal of over 12 million square feet of aging inventory for conversions. For a deeper look at how this supply crunch is fueling a 262% surge in year-on-year investment, read the full report at https:\/\/www.mpamag.com\/ca\/specialty\/commercial\/canadas-office-market-posts-full-year-recovery-leaving-pandemic-woes-behind\/581471.<\/p>\n
