The Montreal Office Market remains highly tenant favourable as direct vacancies approach all-time highs this quarter. A record high of 1.7M SF of sublease space is currently available across the GMA, providing opportunities for tenants at significant discounts and shorter terms.

The Montreal office market continues to exhibit a surge in the availability of sublease space as tenants face greater uncertainty from the effects of the pandemic along with increased government restrictions this quarter.

The effects of COVID-19 have undeniably re-shaped the way tenants interact with and occupy office and industrial space worldwide. “Working From Home”, a policy that may have been adopted early on by companies in industries that are more technologically advanced, is now mandatory for most businesses forcing them to adapt as the Canadian government grasps with gaining control over the pandemic.

The commercial real estate market in Montreal has never been so vibrant. Local businesses continue to expand and outgrow their premises and foreign companies are gravitating to the Greater Montreal Area (the ‘’GMA’’) to benefit from the relatively low occupancy and labor costs in comparison to Toronto and Vancouver.
