Session B3:
Investment Overview of Gateway Cities and Mid-Markets Across Canada
A panel of investors will provide an extensive discussion on prospective buying and selling trends for 2019. The story for the past year has been a familiar one: a market imbalance where the amount of capital trying to buy assets continues to exceed quality investment opportunities. The result? Record investment sales. What are the major reasons for this continued trend across Canada? How much liquidity is in the market? Who are likely to be buyers in 2019? Will value added and opportunistic buyers be more active? Who will be the sellers? Which asset classes will likely be most favoured by investors? Which cities will be “top of mind”? How do investor attitudes vary from institutional vs. private and domestic vs. offshore? What opportunities are there for investors to tap into or partner with the public sector? What do you need to understand about these types of relationships? How are mid-markets likely to fair vs. major cities?
