Q1 2026 Market Updates

Geopolitical Impact of Iran, US, and Israel War on the Canada Commercial Real Estate Market

United States: The Canada Commercial Real Estate Market, a key segment of the global economy, is experiencing a complex operating environment in Q1 2026 as a direct consequence of the US-Israel-Iran war. Canada is a net energy exporter benefiting from Brent crude above USD 120 per barrel, with Alberta and Saskatchewan oil revenues rising sharply. However, Canadian farmers face the most severe fertilizer and fuel cost shock in a decade. Farm Credit Canada estimates a 40% nitrogen cost increase would cut average Saskatchewan margins in half. Urea prices surged approximately 50% since the war began. Canadian diesel prices rose approximately 40% from late February to mid-March 2026, reaching CAD 2.45 per litre as the global oil shock cascaded through domestic fuel markets. Steel and construction material prices have risen 20-30% from global surcharges, inflating Canadian infrastructure and industrial project costs.

Iran: Iran's domestic Canada Commercial Real Estate sector has been effectively suspended by the conflict. US-Israeli strikes on industrial and civilian infrastructure across Tehran, Mashhad, Isfahan, and other major cities have disrupted all commercial activity. Power outages from attacks on electricity generation facilities have halted manufacturing operations, and the collapse of the commercial banking and logistics system has eliminated any residual trade flows. The broader humanitarian crisis, with over 1,900 casualties and 4,000+ civilian buildings damaged, has redirected the entire Iranian economy toward survival rather than production or consumption.

Israel: Israel's Canada Commercial Real Estate sector is experiencing near-term disruption from wartime conditions. Consumer spending on non-essential categories has declined as millions of Israelis regularly shelter from missile and drone alerts. Supply chain logistics are disrupted by regional airspace closures, elevated war-risk insurance premiums, and the suspension of major carrier services through the region. International business partnerships with Israeli companies have been temporarily suspended. Post-conflict reconstruction and recovery demand is expected to provide meaningful demand acceleration across affected market segments once operational conditions normalise.

Key Takeaways

Government

  • Canadian infrastructure agencies should revise capital project cost estimates upward by 20-30% to account for steel surcharges, bitumen inflation, and elevated energy costs, preventing budget overruns from invalidating project approvals.
  • Governments should consider temporary import duty relief for critical construction materials including structural steel and aluminium, partially offsetting European and Asian surcharges of up to 30% that are inflating project costs.
  • Public-private partnership frameworks should incorporate conflict-related force majeure and cost escalation provisions that allow project developers to manage unprecedented input cost volatility without contract termination.

Market

  • The combination of 30% steel surcharges, 25-40% bitumen/asphalt price increases, and 40% diesel cost inflation represents the most severe simultaneous construction input cost shock in recent history, requiring mandatory project cost estimate revisions.
  • Gulf construction activity has effectively halted with NEOM contracts cancelled and FDI down 60-70%, temporarily removing a significant source of global demand for construction materials and equipment from the market.
  • Post-conflict reconstruction across Iran, Israel, Lebanon, and Gulf states will generate substantial demand for construction materials and services, creating a medium-term demand pipeline that partially offsets the near-term market disruption.

Procurement

  • Construction procurement managers should lock in structural steel and aluminium supply contracts at current pricing before further conflict-driven surcharges are implemented by European and Asian steel mills facing elevated energy costs.
  • Project developers should build contingency reserves of 25-30% into construction tender estimates for petroleum-derived materials including bitumen, sealants, coatings, and plastic pipe systems that are all experiencing 20-40% cost inflation.
  • Procurement teams should evaluate domestic sourcing alternatives for construction inputs where available, as locally produced materials are less exposed to the freight cost surcharges and war-risk insurance premiums affecting imported goods.

*this image is indicative*

Properties used for business purposes, such as office buildings, retail stores, warehouses, and industrial properties, are referred to as commercial real estate. The global commercial real estate market is anticipated to expand due to the increasing population density in urban areas, which leads to a higher demand for commercial spaces, such as offices, retail stores, and industrial properties.

Studies show that in the global commercial real estate market, North America accounts for most of the real estate value because of the region’s rising demand for office spaces, rapidly growing e-commerce sector, and high employment rates. In North America, the Canada commercial real estate market is growing rapidly and is predicted to flourish in the future due to rapid population growth, tight labour markets, and elevated household savings.

Key Trends and Developments

The trend of mixed-use estate development is fuelled by the need for convenience and the optimisation of land use in urban areas. Moreover, mixed-use developments align with the rising demand for live-work-play environments, offering individuals the opportunity to reside, work, and access amenities in proximity. Additionally, the government has launched the Smart Buildings Initiative, led by Public Services and Procurement Canada, with the goal of enhancing the energy efficiency of federal buildings, reducing greenhouse gas emissions, and cutting energy costs. These factors impact the Canada commercial real estate market value.

Furthermore, the Federal Lands Initiative, a USD 200 million fund overseen by the Canada Mortgage and Housing Corporation (CMHC), supports the transfer of surplus federal lands and buildings to eligible proponents for development or renovation, particularly for use as affordable and sustainable housing. These initiatives and policies underscore the government's commitment to influencing and supporting the Canada commercial real estate market demand, particularly in the realms of housing, energy efficiency, and sustainable development.

Office real estate contributes to market growth due to low office vacancy rates in the country

According to Canada commercial real estate market analysis, the office real estate is expected to propel the market growth in the forecast period. Canadian cities stand out in North America with impressively low office vacancy rates, primarily attributed to a surge in employment rates that demands an expanded corporate footprint. In 2022, Microsoft secured a substantial deal, acquiring approximately 4,00,000 square feet at the B6 building in Vancouver, North America, earmarked for office space. Construction of such large corporate offices can boost the Canada commercial real estate market demand.

On the other hand, industrial real estate refers to properties used for industrial activities, including production, manufacturing, and the storage and distribution of goods, or warehousing. Growing export and import activity is one of the key factors driving the demand for industrial real estate, especially warehouse space, making it a profitable investment opportunity. Additionally, as per the Canada commercial real estate market forecast, industrial sector is emerging as the fastest-growing segment because the e-commerce companies, such as Amazon Canada, Ebay Canada, and Walmart require large inventories or warehousing space to fulfil their online orders and to keep the product returns.

Alberta region holds a significant market share due to the increasing demand for commercial spaces

Alberta  is anticipated to increase the Canada commercial real estate market share in the forecast period due to high demand for commercial spaces in urban centres. This can lead to enhanced lease rates and lower vacancies. The industrial sector is growing in Canada, and out-of-province investors are looking towards Alberta because the average lease rates have risen 3.5% year-over-year in some areas, and it can generate higher rents. Additionally, the ongoing infrastructure developments in Alberta, such as transit expansions and road enhancements, are set to bolster property values in proximity to these projects.

On the other hand, the Canada commercial real estate market value is anticipated to increase because of the rapid industrialisation in North Canada. For instance, in 2023, Toronto's real estate asset management agency, CreateTO, unveiled plans for a groundbreaking mass timber rental building on Dundas Street West. This 10-storey structure, featuring 100 rental units, allocated the ground floor spanning over 2,000 square feet for commercial purposes. Thus, the demand for commercial real estate is expected to grow in Canadian regions, thus increasing the Canada commercial real estate market share in the forecast period.
