GTA Commercial Real Estate Update | July 2026
Rates Hold Steady: What It Means for GTA Owners and Tenants
On July 15, 2026, the Bank of Canada maintained its policy interest rate at 2.25%, continuing the stable rate environment in place since October 2025. The current rate is 0.50 percentage points lower than July 2025.
Key Interest Rate Indicators:
2.25% Bank of Canada policy rate
0.8% Projected year-over-year inflation
September 3, 2026 Next scheduled announcement
The Bank expects Canadian economic growth to gradually improve, with business investment projected to pick up modestly. Inflation remains elevated in the near term but is expected to return toward 2% in early 2027.
Market Takeaway: Durham industrial vacancy remains limited, with reported figures ranging from 1.7% to approximately 6.0% depending on source and market area. For tenants, this means quality space may still be competitive despite recent new supply.
Leasing Takeaway: Approximately 80.7% of GTA industrial leasing transactions involved spaces under 50,000 square feet, reinforcing continued demand for small- and mid-bay industrial units.
