Why This Matters

What You'll Learn

- According to Avison Young's Q2 office report, there is 7.2 msf of sublet space available, which is more than double what it was one year ago. How does all of this available space impact the office market? 

- Toronto has entered phase 3 of reopening. How are landlords safely welcoming tenants back to the office? 

- How has the pandemic hightened sustainability, health and wellness concerns for tenants? And how are landlords reacting?

- Suburban GTA or Downtown? Which will emerge from the pandemic quickest and why?

 

How You'll Do More Business: No asset class has been under the microscope more than office during the past 18 months.  With that being said, the next six months could be more telling for the future of office as people start to return to work. Stay on top of trends impacting the office market from the leaders of Toronto's CRE industry. 
 

Who You'll Meet: Brokers, developers, investors, tenant reps, tenants, architects, and engineers.
