Ottawa Real Estate Forum 2020 | Informa Markets in Asia | 14 October 2020 | Virtual Event

The 25th annual Ottawa Real Estate Forum will continue the tradition of providing valuable insights on the market trends, issues, strategies, and opportunities in Canada’s National Capital Region.

Discussion will focus on what is facilitating growth in Canada’s sixth largest real estate market and how it is continuing to perform from a leasing, investment and development perspective.

The program will focus on both Ottawa and Gatineau, offering a range of panel discussions and sessions on the transformational office market; the federal government’s real estate strategies; the increasing range of development activity; how the retail, industrial, apartment and condominium markets are performing; and what smaller landlords and entrepreneurs are doing to grow and maintain the value of their assets.

Discussion will also focus on what engines of the local economy are creating job growth and real estate demand in both the Ottawa and Gatineau markets.

The Forum will be targeted to meet the needs of real estate executives, brokers, developers, investors, asset managers, and other professionals active in the acquisition, leasing, financing, management, and marketing of office, industrial, retail, and multi-unit residential real estate.

The Ottawa Real Estate Forum will help you determine what strategies to follow for 2020 and beyond.

Note that the registration fee is lower than other comparable events. The Ottawa Real Estate Forum fits virtually every organization’s or individual’s budget.
