There\u2019s a lot of excitement in the Vancouver market recently, primarily due to three big developments due to open next year. Still, the top expert in the market says there\u2019s now a lull.<\/p>\n

When three or four buildings came out of the ground, they got a lot of immediate take-up with pre-leasing so that\u2019s positive, but there\u2019s been a bit of lull in existing clients taking a look at the offering,\u201d says Bart Corbett, Cushman & Wakefield\u2019s top producing tenant representative. Maybe we\u2019ll have to hunker down for the next 24 months.\u201d<\/p>\n

The lack of announcements from three other projects now underway backs his assertion. The Credit Swisse project that will incorporate the former Vancouver Stock Exchange building has no committed tenants for now. The Sears building renovation still has lots of space available too. The leasing agent for the CDAE building says they\u2019re talking to a potential anchor tenant, but Corbett doesn\u2019t know who it might be.<\/p>\n

Plans for an additional seven buildings close to the downtown core could get underway anytime, but Corbett doesn\u2019t think they will.<\/p>\n

There\u2019s lots of new supply potential, but you\u2019ve got to think that those six or seven property owners are going to think long and hard before they commit to buildings unless they can find a pre-lease tenant or an anchor tenant.\u201d<\/p>\n

Vancouver\u2019s position as the fourth market for office development in Canada limits its potential, says Corbett. \u201cWe\u2019re not known for explosive growth like Calgary. We don\u2019t have the depth of corporate Canada like Toronto, and in some ways Montreal.\u201d<\/p>\n

His best hopes come from the tech industry, especially if you count Telus among them.<\/p>\n

Telus\u2019s decision to establish Telus Gardens downtown is the most notable of the new developments, he says, especially now that Amazon and Bull Housser & Tupper will also take space in the complex.<\/p>\n

Other tech companies may follow their lead.<\/p>\n

Facebook has quietly come into market,\u201d says Corbett. \u201cTwitter is looking for space. Microsoft is in our city, and there are rumours that they\u2019re looking for expansion.\u201d<\/p>\n

Meanwhile, SNC Lavalin has taken the majority of the 754 Thurlow Building, and McCarthy Tetrault has joined them.<\/p>\n

The 1021 West Hastings site is also close to fully-leased, with MNP, CBRE, Atimi and Gencom all ready to move into the building next year.<\/p>\n
