Message from
his Worship Mayor
Don Iveson
O
n behalf of City Council and the people of Edmonton, Alberta’s Capital City, it’s my pleasure to introduce the
annual BOMA Edmonton Commercial Real Estate Guide.
There is a new sense of optimism in Edmonton. In business, in the arts, and in the community, there is a
consensus and feeling of pride that our city is one of the best places in the world to take a risk, to launch an idea or to invest in.
The theme of this year’s BOMA’s real estate guide, Edmonton — Industrious Leader, highlights Edmonton’s role as a
major urban centre for excellence and innovation. With one of the fastest growing regional economies in North America,
Edmonton is transforming. New projects across the city — such as LRT expansion, downtown revitalization and new
housing and commercial developments — will promote economic sustainability and growth for years to come.
Edmonton’s commercial building industries play an essential role Edmonton’s future vision. With construction of
Rogers Place beginning this year and more businesses competing for space across the city — property owners, investors,
managers and tenants need information to help navigate this varied market.
Thank you to BOMA for creating a real estate guide that gives valuable insight into Edmonton’s economy and real
estate market. Edmonton’s entrepreneurial spirit, energy and opportunity make it an ideal place to live, work and play.
Yours truly,
Don Iveson, Mayor

dmonton… Industrious Leader
Edmonton clearly is on track as an…Industrious Leader as it continues to be a strong contributor to the
growth and economic development in the region and the country. Many companies continue to experience
positive growth and Edmonton, our Capital City, continues to fire on all cylinders.
The “Industrious Leader” theme certainly reflects the activity of the Capital Region and is an excellent choice
for the BOMA Edmonton Real Estate Guide at this juncture. Not only is the Rogers Place Arena construction
underway, but the new Kelley Ramsey Building is in full construction phase while the City of Edmonton’s
new building is entering the planning and development phase. As well, Edmonton International Airport has
announced new retails developments and is continuing its growth of huge increases in passenger traffic.
LRT expansion continues as does the planning for growth at all four of Edmonton’s major post-secondary
institutions. The economy that fuels the Capital Region consistently ranks at the top of the Conference Board of
Canada’s economic diversity index and it is currently maintaining a sustained wave of economic growth that’s
encouraging not only for the region, but for all of Canada. And Edmonton still has a well-educated and skilled
workforce while maintaining one of the lowest unemployment rates in Canada.
Edmonton is also growing as a burgeoning centre of trade and finance and is home to corporate
headquarters of three major financial institutions and to the World Trade Centre, all of which are poised and
ready to spread our Capital Region’s ‘good news’ story to all markets.
Throughout this Guide you will find numerous examples that demonstrate Edmonton is truly an Industrious
Leader for those that live, work and play in the region. And Edmonton is poised to continue as a city with a
demonstrated consistent growth for businesses that wish to expand or move to the region. You will find all
the reasons you need in this publication, from both personal and business perspectives, to locate and grow
in Edmonton. BOMA Edmonton is proud to sponsor this Guide and we trust that it will serve as a valuable
reference tool in your growth and commercial real estate choices.

Message from Edmonton
Economic Development
Corporation President & CEO
Brad Ferguson
E
dmonton promises endless opportunities to build business and create wealth. We have a growing economy,
one of Canada’s lowest unemployment rates, a favourable tax regime and an unparalleled quality of life – all
factors that business leaders look for when making investment and relocation decisions.
Edmonton Economic Development is the primary catalyst for economic development and diversification in
Edmonton. That will only be realized through a culture of entrepreneurship, innovation and competitiveness that
differentiates our city and our region from all others. That is why we are sharing the Edmonton story: if you have
the courage to take an idea to reality, to build, to make something, this is your city.
The great migration is just beginning. People are coming to Edmonton for an abundance of opportunity, to
restart their lives, to get ahead financially or to start something in our community. They are coming to our city
because they are welcomed, they are encouraged and they are supported. Our goal is to stimulate economic
activity and create an environment that ensures all of this activity continues in unison and in balance.
Building owners and managers are a critical partner in the economic development system so critical to our
city’s success. With BOMA’s support, the Edmonton Region will continue to outperform every major economic
jurisdiction in North America, regardless of the price of oil.
But although we feel confident that the underlying economy will continue to provide prosperity, now is not
the time for complacency. We will need to be more ambitious and more competitive in all that we do . . . because
we are a city of builders, innovators and leaders.
Brad Ferguson, President & CEO

Major
Milestones
BIG CHANGES IN THE
HEART OF THE CITY
A
fter three decades that saw few changes to their city’s
skyline, Edmontonians are witnessing the most dramatic
transformations to their downtown in a generation. And
they are about to see a whole lot more change.
Now that city council has approved the final plans to build a new
arena for the Edmonton Oilers, announcements are expected soon
for numerous follow-on projects. Two new office towers already have
been announced and there is speculation that another will be coming
right away. Two educational institutions are expanding downtown,
MacEwan University and Norquest. The new Royal Alberta Museum
is under construction. One new hotel is confirmed and two more are
looking to build — the first new downtown hotels in about 35 years.
There are enough apartment buildings proposed to double the
population of downtown in a dozen years or less.
So it’s fair to say that talk of downtown revitalization has become
a thing of the past. So says Brad Ferguson, President and CEO of
Edmonton Economic Development Corporation: “It’s happening,
and now we’ve planned for 22 cranes in the downtown sky 12 months
from now. When people look up and see cranes in the downtown
core, it builds excitement all around the city.”

GUIDE 2014/15
In the
Pipeline:
Class-1 rail services provided by
Canadian National (CN) and Canadian
Pacific (CP) Railways offer seamless
connections to major North American
markets. Edmonton is home to CN’s
western Canadian network operations
centre.
Greater Edmonton is a politically
stable region that promotes
entrepreneurship, innovation
and environmental sustainability.
The region’s business-friendly
environment, coupled with strong
economic performance, has attracted
a growing number of major Capital
projects. As well Edmonton acts as the
primary logistical and service centre
for Northern Alberta where $141
billion of major new investments will
take place over the next decade.
Edmonton is the closest major centre
to the Alberta oil sands - the world’s
most politically stable oil supply.
This proximity is strategically close to
Canada`s largest energy export market
- the United States. Edmonton is also
closer to many other centres, including
Calgary, to more than half the top 100
population centres in North America,
including Toronto, New York and
Chicago.

GUIDE 2014/15
In the
Pipeline:
With its strong ties to the City and
Port of Prince Rupert, CN’s investment
into the region, and gateway access
to domestic and overseas markets,
Greater Edmonton is poised to
become a leading transportation and
distribution hub and the strategic
choice for global business.
The High Wide Corridor linking the
US to the Alberta Oil Sands is the only
one of its kind. The corridor allows for
an increase of 300,000 pounds to be
transported, increasing highway width
by 10 feet and length of transport
vehicle to 100 feet.vestment
Port Alberta is an industry led
transportation board which aims
to combine air, rail and road
transportation infrastructure at a
single point through collaboration
with Edmonton and Alberta based
businesses, with future connections to
the Port of Prince Rupert and the Port
of Vancouver
The Province of Alberta and the City
of Edmonton offer the best overall
operating costs in the form of low
taxes. No tax abatement programs,
infrastructure development or real
estate fit-out assistance programs are
offered.

GUIDE 2014/15
In the Pipeline:
Edmonton is strategically located
between one of the world’s largest
oil reserves and the world’s largest
consumer – the US. The region
has the advantage of being the
transportation and logistics hub
for Alberta’s oil, gas and mining
sectors.
Edmonton leads the way in
developing alternate sources of
power including: mining landfills
for methane to produce electricity,
turning organic waste into bio-fuel
and developing concept homes
that will generate as much power
as they consume.
Edmonton is a welcoming city and
goes out of its way to support our
new residents and new Canadian
citizens. Our communities are
proud of their broad mix of over 50
international cultures and over 500
places of worship.
The North Saskatchewan River
valley, the longest stretch of urban
parkland in North America, has
over 150 km of trails designated for
biking, jogging and cross-country
skiing.
Edmonton’s International Airport is
the fastest growing major airport
in Canada, offering non-stop daily
service to 10 key US destinations
and London’s Heathrow Airport.
Edmonton was selected as one of the
top 21 intelligent communities by The
Intelligent Community Forum in 2009. This
was due to the city’s historic establishment
of computerized medical records,
nanotechnology growth and commercial
discoveries that have yielded 70 active spinoff companies and created over 1,000 jobs.
Canadian
Federation of Independent
Businesses rates Edmonton as one of the
top 10 entrepreneurial cities in Canada
which includes rating the presence of
a high concentration of entrepreneurs,
high business start-up rate, levels of
optimism and success, and sound public
policy.

MARKET REPORT:
Overview
THIS IS WHAT
SUCCESS LOOKS LIKE
E
dmonton’s commercial real estate markets came into 2014-15 in
their best shape since the late 1970s, with every sector enjoying
either a strong or record-breaking performance in 2013. The
trend is expected to continue, with regional GDP growth of 3.0%
providing the momentum.
Construction in the downtown core in 2014-16 will be at a pace
unseen in a generation: it is forecast there will be 22 cranes over
downtown by the spring of 2015. It is encouraging to note that
the downtown projects are diverse in nature: two post-secondary
institutions, numerous residential projects, a new arena for the
Edmonton Oilers, hotels and at least two big office projects. More of
the same, including possibly another half a dozen office towers, will
be ready to go if the market continues on its positive trend through
the second half of the decade. The suburban office market is on an
upward course as well, supported by corporate demand and the
baby-boom generation’s need for medical and professional services.
Population growth is fuelling demand for new apartment
buildings, not only downtown but also beyond the Anthony Henday
Drive orbit. Suburban expansion and urban redevelopment continue
to attract commitments to dozens of new shopping centre projects,
with Canadian retailers holding their own against competition from
south of the border. As for how long the positive trend can continue,
the demand for industrial space and record prices for developable
land suggest the regional economy will continue on its upward
trajectory for some time to come.
