Navigating Uncertainty: Building Long‑Term Resilience in Industrial Portfolios in the GTA
As global geopolitics shift, speculative development resets, and market dynamics evolve, the industrial real estate landscape in the GTA is entering a new cycle. What does the future look like and how can owners and developers stay resilient?
We're kicking off the year with a deep dive into the trends shaping industrial development and leasing across the region from an owner’s perspective.
Scott Figler, Director of Research, Canada at JLL, will open the event with a data‑driven market update, highlighting the key forces influencing industrial demand, supply, and investment strategies.
Moderated by John‑Bosco Agbasi, Managing Director, Asset Management at Fengate, our expert panel will unpack emerging opportunities and the challenges defining the sector:
- Blair Wolk — President & COO, Orlando
- Niall Collins — Executive Vice President, Development & Construction, Choice Properties REIT
- Tracy Macdonald — Managing Director, National Leasing & Business Development, BGO
- Jonathan Rovira — Senior Vice President, Leasing, Pure Industrial
These industry leaders will share their insights from the owner/operator viewpoint touching on leasing dynamics, development pipelines, occupier behaviour, risk mitigation, and how landlords are adapting to ongoing uncertainty.
