AI and Climate Resilience Reshape Canada's Real Estate Future, PwC Reports

Real Estate Giants Pivot to Tech as Market Pressures Mount

In a groundbreaking report, PwC Canada and the Urban Land Institute reveal how generative AI and sustainable practices are transforming Canada's real estate landscape amid rising financial pressures and global uncertainties.

Western Canada Emerges as New Investment Frontier

While traditional powerhouses Toronto and Vancouver show signs of cooling, Calgary and Edmonton are attracting investors with their affordable housing markets and sustainable development potential. However, climate risks pose significant challenges for these emerging markets.

Cold Storage and Student Housing Heat Up Investment Portfolios

Investors are increasingly targeting specialized property types that offer stable cash flows and portfolio diversification. This shift reflects a broader trend of integrating infrastructure into real estate to meet evolving economic and technological demands.

Climate Change Forces Industry Evolution

With extreme weather events intensifying, sustainability and climate resilience have become crucial for long-term real estate stability. Investors are prioritizing energy-efficient systems and sustainable building practices not only to reduce risk but to attract environmentally conscious tenants.
