What happened
A third quarter update from Avison Young showed that while the vacancy rate in the Edmonton region remained at 3.8 per cent, there was negative absorption of over 172,000 square feet of industrial space within the city limits. Areas outside the city, including Nisku and Acheson, saw significant increases in occupied commercial space.

Why it matters
The shift is attributed to businesses seeking lower property taxes and mill rates, as well as avoiding rush-hour traffic when connecting to Calgary and Red Deer. This movement is boosting commercial activity in the surrounding municipalities.
