Canada has one of the world’s strongest EV supply chains -- the only one in the Western Hemisphere with end-to-end coverage 😎. While EV demand has cooled, Canada’s advantage remains. Manufacturers are adjusting to the uncertainty, reassessing real estate, and preparing for future growth. "The industry anticipated higher EV adoption, but we're seeing a slower pace and the resulting adjustments,” said Brandy Burdeniuk. Sanjiv Chadha, SIOR, MCR added, "Many industrial facilities are being repurposed to accommodate new technologies. However, adjusting production capabilities comes with considerable risks, challenges and uncertainties in today’s dynamic market environment. We're working with companies who are reassessing their real estate portfolios, considering partial divestments or rightsizing of their properties.” Retail Insider: https://lnkd.in/gCsizaqF #Retail #Sustainability #EV #AYdifference

As you heard yesterday, the Bank of Canada dropped interest rates to 3.75%! With this new cut, #CRE in Edmonton may see renewed investor interest. Mark Fieder notes that the shift in rates opens doors for institutional investments, making commercial properties more attractive than ever. “With commercial real estate return metrics improving compared to other asset classes, we’ll keep a watchful eye on performance now that we are shifting into a new interest rate regime that is better favouring investment opportunities.” Edmonton Journal: https://lnkd.in/ekaHnHMe #Edmonton #InterestRates #AYdifference
