Q1 2024

Rents stabilizing in the Ottawa’s Office market

Average gross rent reached $32.99 psf in Ottawa at the end of Q1 2024. With the availability rate increasing to 14.8%, landlords had to stabilize asking rents by providing longer fixturing periods, significant tenant allowances and free rent. These heavily induced deals are creating a compression in net effective rents, especially in the Downtown Core, where availability is rising in the class B market.
