Canadian investment volumes for the office, industrial and retail deals above US$7.5 million stand at approximately US$7.2 billion for 2014 year-to-date, representing a 57% decrease on the same period in 2013.


Offices remained the dominant asset class, accounting for approximately US$3.2 billion or 44% of overall transaction volume, which is a 26% decrease on the same period in 2013.


This year has seen the return of cross-border investors, with buyers from the US accounting for 18 buildings, or US$539 million in office properties, in addition to Ponte Gadea’s notable acquisition of 150 Bloor Street West, Toronto in June for approximately US$235 million.


Ponte Gadea is owned by Spanish high net worth investor Amancio Ortega and further supports the positive sentiment surrounding the attractiveness of Canadian real estate to both domestic and international capital pools.


While institutional investors remain the dominant buyer group so far this year, accounting for approximately 38% of volumes, a marked shift has been noted. Dropping off from a 56% office market share in 2013, institutional buyers have been replaced in a large part by the emergence of private capital, which has increased to 15% in 2014 from 9% in 2013.
