Canadian industrial cap rates continued to fall in H1 2019, with the national FIGURE 70: canadian INDUSTRIAL - historical cap rates by class
average Class A & B cap rates each dropping moderately to 5.11% and 6.14%. This
marked the 11th and 8th consecutive halves, respectively, in which the Class A and %
B cap rates have fallen. This trend has been fueled by continued strong industrial 8
property fundamentals from ecommerce growth and rising demand for logistics,
warehousing and distribution space in Canada. Elevated liquidity, paired with the
7
recent dip in benchmark bond yields, has placed significant downward pressure on
cap rates.

With yields near or below 4.0% in both Vancouver and Toronto, investors are
showing an increased interest in Tier II and III markets. Victoria, Kitchener-Waterloo,

As in 2018, retail cap rates differed significantly by property type and market in
H1. While only minimal movements in cap rates occurred for power centers and %
categories remained muted. Pricing remained resilient for other retail property types,
including regional malls and anchored strip centers, particularly for assets with 7
repurposing and redevelopment potential. Despite turmoil in the retail sector at large,
significant liquidity remains for high-quality retail assets in primary CBD markets.

By market classification, the largest increases in retail cap rates were in Tier II
and III markets, where a significant amount of retail property has sold—largely
to REITs. While no market had any material compression in retail yields in H1, 5

infill and suburban FIGURE 75: canadian Multifamily infill and suburbaN - historical

Cap rates for Canadian multifamily assets reached new record lows in H1 2019.
The national average multifamily cap rate for infill Class A properties fell marginally %
to 3.86%, while the average rate for suburban Class B properties was virtually 7
unchanged at 4.91%. With spreads to benchmark bond yields already razor thin, the 6
recent dip in the Canadian 10-year bond yield should increase liquidity for the asset
class. Canada’s G7-leading immigration totals and near 100% multifamily occupancy 5
levels with a limited construction pipeline will support further rent increases. Investors 4
are increasingly willing to sacrifice up-front yield to acquire high-quality assets.

After seven consecutive halves of decline, Canadian hotel cap rates held steady in
%
H1 2019. The national average cap rates for both CBD full-service and suburban
select-service ended the half at 7.08% and 8.20%, respectively. Moderating economic 10
conditions and slowing profitability have affected investors’ expectations and brought
a slight slowdown to the asset class. While investors remain opportunistic, many have 9
adopted a more cautious approach until the concerns surrounding the economy and
sector performance dissipate. 8
Access to capital for hotel projects remains high and many investors have turned to
construction in a search for yield. New hotel construction in Ontario, British Columbia 7
