According to data from Commercial Edge, a commercial real estate system operated by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV), demand for land helped commercial real estate sales and dollar values reach five-year highs across the Lower Mainland in 2016.
Â
Highlights:
Â
• In total, there were 2,848 commercial real estate sales last year, which equates to a 21 percent increase over the 2,353 sales in 2015.Â
Â
• Commercial real estate sales were also 29.7 percent above the region’s five-year sales average.Â
Â
• All totalled, the dollar value of commercial real estate sales in the Lower Mainland was $12.990 billion in 2016 – a 47.4 percent increase from the $8.815 billion total in 2015.Â
Â
“We saw steady activity across the commercial real estate market in 2016,†said Dan Morrison, REBGV President in a press release. “It’s no surprise that land sales had the largest increase last year given the supply shortages we’re experiencing in our residential and commercial markets today.â€Â
Â
Office and retail sales were also up in 2016 by 12.8 percent, with industrial sales making similar gains of 9.9 percent. Multi-family land sales, however, were down 4.1 percent from 2015 figures despite rising rents across the Lower Mainland.

According to data from Commercial Edge, a system operated by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV), the commercial real estate market in the Lower Mainland remained highly active in Q3 2016, with industrial and land properties leading the way.Â
Â
Altogether, there were 645 commercial real estate sales registered across the Lower Mainland, which represents a 6.3% increase from the 607 sales from Q3 2015. That equates to a total dollar value of $2.399 billion – a 1.9% decline from the $2.445 billion in Q3 2015.Â
Â
“While we saw some declines in office and retail sales this quarter, overall demand in the commercial market remains steady thanks to healthy economic growth in our province so far this year,†said Dan Morrison, REBGV president in a press release. “It was the busiest third quarter in the last five years for sales in our commercial market.â€Â
Â
Here’s a closer look into the Q3 2016 commercial real estate activity by category:Â
