Canada’s office sector well-placed to survive pandemic: JLL CEO

April 28, 2020

There is never a good time for a pandemic, but JLL Canada chief executive officer Alan MacKenzie says things could be a lot worse for the office markets in six major Canadian cities.

“Notwithstanding the Alberta effect of oil and natural gas and what that’s done to office tenants in downtown Calgary, there actually could not have been a better time for COVID to hit against an incredibly healthy office segment — especially in Vancouver, Toronto and Montreal,” MacKenzie told RENX.
