Toronto Leased Real Estate Numbers
Toronto real estate boards’ Commercial Members leased 5,829,559 square feet of space in 2009, including 334,290 square feet traded in December, Commercial Council Chair Garry Lander announced today. The 2009 figure was down 51 per cent from the 2008 total of 11,961,934. “Toronto commercial real estate market definitely felt the effects of the recession,” Mr. Lander noted. “Renewed economic growth suggests that the commercial real estate situation should start to improve in 2010. Sustained growth in the demand for commercial space will require recovery in both the domestic and export-driven components of our economy.”
Toronto industrial space in all size categories leased for $5.11 per square foot net (sfn), down five per cent from the $5.40 recorded in December of 2008. Commercial space traded for $13.69 per sfn, from the $14.63 per sfn figure seen during the same period last year, a six per cent decline. Only office space rose in value, up one per cent to $10.85 per sfn from last December’s $10.74 per sfn.
