The Next Cycle of Retail Real Estate: Canada’s Opportunity in a Changing Market
Join us at Earls King West* to hear from our spring research panel as they explore how evolving consumer expectations are reshaping retail into more experiential, community-driven destinations. As development slows and broader economic and geopolitical forces reshape the Canadian landscape, investment and leasing decisions are becoming more nuanced and complex. Within this complexity lies a compelling opportunity to rethink retail as a more resilient, high-performing and experience-led asset class. Our panelists will examine where opportunity lies in adapting retail to meet the next era of demand.
Plus, network with potential business partners and share ideas on Marketplaces Industry trends and transactions. Refreshments and hors d’oeuvres to be served.
