the story of the canadian industrial market has been divided between east and west. eastern canadian markets are beginning to recover from their 2008 decline as toronto’s rental rates began trending up from a three (3) year constant average of $4.60 to $4.90 net per square foot in Q3 2012. toronto is experiencing slower and very deliberate industrial growth with 35% of the 4.7 million square feet of industrial construction design built for large single-tenant users.   

in contrast to the east, the west rebounded in 2010 as industrial construction gained momentum, but at a slower pace than 2006-2008.  a good example is edmonton’s absorption from 2010-2012 that has averaged a million square feet per year while industrial construction has averaged 650,000 square feet per year; ending Q3 2012 at 3.5% vacancy.

the most recent trend of industrial development has been the resurgence of industrial condominiums.  condominiums have become attractive in the saskatoon market due to the financial accessibility of small scale industrial units and historically low interest rates.  seven (7) new industrial condo developments are underway and account for 200,000 square feet or 40% of the industrial space presently under construction.

Vacancyas  predicted,  a  year  of  plentiful  industrial construction coupled with an equal level of absorption has kept the saskatoon industrial vacancy rate constant through 2012 ending Q3 at 4.83%. 

450,000  of  the  1,000,000  square  feet of  vacant  space  is  attributed  to  two  (2) industrial  buildings  that  are  undergoing plans for redevelopment.     

as  new  construction  completes  in  early 2013  vacancy  may  rise  in  the  short  term, but  consistent  demand  should  return  the vacancy  rate  to  around  5%  by  mid-year 2013.    Vacancy  in  saskatoon  could  fall  as low as 3.1% if leasing activity increases on the two (2) large industrial complexes.  

Landon  June  7th,  2012  the  saskatoon  land Branch closed on their latest land tender of three  (3)  parcels  totaling 5.68-acres.   the three  (3)  parcels  were  purchased  through tender by  a  local  developer.   By June  15th 

all land through the city of saskatoon land Branch had sold or leased.  if the weather permits, the city expects to tender 72-acres of  industrial-zoned  land  west  of  millar avenue by December 2012.  in the interim, limited  opportunities  still  exist  in  the  third party sales market or in the r.m. of corman park. 

concorde’s Biz Hub industrial park located in the r.m. of corman park along Highway 16 West has sold 85% of  their  subdivision with four (4) remaining parcels available for purchase.    phase  ii  is  in  the  development stage and could be available by mid-summer 2013.

Rental Ratesrental rates continue to ride a fl at trajectory with no indication that they will rise or fall in the  immediate  future. Both saskatoon  and regina  are  amongst  the  highest  industrial rental  rates  in  the  country  with  existing space  leasing  between  $9.00  and  $11.00 net per square  foot and new space priced between $10.50 and $12.50 net per square foot. 

Sales & Investmentcapitalization  rates  in  the  saskatoon industrial  market  compressed  further from 7.5%  in  2011  to  approximately  7.25% Q3  2012.  the  lack  of  available  investment opportunities  has  resulted  in  continuous downward pressure on capitalization rates. 

likewise,  values  in  the  industrial  owner/user  or  speculative  investment  markets have  soared  with  some  industrial  building sales hitting the $168 per square foot mark.  in  2012,  average  industrial  sale  prices increased from the 2011 average of $135 per square foot to $145 per square foot.

accelerating success.

ForecastVacancy  is  expected  to  remain  relatively constant over the next six (6) months but may  rise  temporarily  when  the  majority of  proposed  speculative  developments complete construction in 2013.

the  72-acres  in  phase  Vi  of  marquis industrial  (west  of  millar  avenue)  will provide the saskatoon market with needed inventory to expand through 2013. 

the price per square foot value of existing industrial  buildings  has  likely  reached  a ceiling and further increases may prove to be un-sustainable  in  the  future.   construction of new industrial buildings may increase in tandem with  rising construction costs and land values.
