Q2 2026 TORONTO OFFICE MARKET REPORT

TRANSACTION MANAGEMENT

While uncertainty remains, there are signs the market is stabilizing.

GTA office vacancy declined for the second consecutive quarter to 16.1%, while net absorption remained positive through the first half of 2026, driven by Class A space in the Financial Core.


One of the most notable shifts is that the long-running "flight to quality" is beginning to reach its limits. With premium downtown space becoming harder to find, many occupiers are expanding their search to core-adjacent and suburban locations that offer strong amenities, transit access and better value.


We're also seeing changing commuter patterns influence office decisions. GO Transit ridership has increased 40% since 2023, reinforcing the growing appeal of well-connected suburban office locations.
