  • facebook share

Land sales lead commercial real estate activity in the first quarter of 2014

An upswing in vacant land transactions helped the commercial real market maintain a steady pace in line with historical activity in the Lower Mainland, according to data from Commercial Edge, a commercial real estate system operated by the Real Estate Board of Greater Vancouver (REBGV).

The total dollar value of commercial sales in the region was $1.4 billion in the first quarter (Q1) of 2014, a 45.5 per cent increase from Q1 2013. This is the second highest Q1 dollar value total in the last five years.

There were 441 commercial real estate sales in the Lower Mainland in Q1 2014, according to Commercial Edge. This is a 14.2 per cent increase compared to the 386 sales recorded in Q1 2013, a 9.1 per cent decline from the 485 sales recorded in Q1 2012, and a 0.5 per cent increase from the 439 sales recorded over the same period in 2011.

“After a strong 2013, office and retail activity declined in the first quarter while vacant land transactions in the Lower Mainland outsold all other commercial categories over this period,” Ray Harris, REBGV president, said.
