I attended the Cushman & Wakefield Industrial Conference last week in Scottsdale and while the American and Canadian markets are experiencing different stimulus, I wanted to share some interesting takeaways: 1) Labour is the most important concern of occupiers. Did you know that in North America, the average age of a commercial truck driver is 55 while their average life expectancy is just 61... big challenges ahead. 2) Supply Chain Costs hinge primarily on transportation a...nd labour (75% of total costs for occupiers). Rent (while my job) encompasses only 5%, it’s nearly a rounding error! However location does allow for flexibility in all supply chain elements. 3) Speed to market is more important than ever! In 2015, 37% said 3-4 days for product delivery was too slow. In 2018 this had already jumped to 63%! Last mile delivery is becoming a critical step. #commercialrealestate #cushwake #naiop #amazon #logistics #lastmile

Commercial tax rates continue to rise in Edmonton and Calgary; concurrently, their periphery markets ranked among most entrepreneurial in Canada. In what appears to be a long, slow road ahead for the Alberta marketplace, it is essential that the City of Edmonton and the City of Calgary find ways to spend smarter, not harder, in order to improve the entrepreneurial mindset in these cities, increase business confidence, and slow the outward migration.
