"For now, the city’s real estate is markedly cheaper than that of Vancouver or Toronto: the average residential property value is $364,699, compared with Toronto’s $755,755 and Vancouver’s $864,566, according to the Canadian Real Estate Association. And rent is cheaper, too: the average for a two-bedroom apartment in central Montreal is $760, compared with Toronto’s $1,288 and Vancouver’s $1,368."

calgary-10-million-square-feet-office-towers-vacant

"It seemed like a good idea three years ago when oil prices were cresting $140 per barrel and pipelines appeared ready to link Asia with Alberta crude: build a record number of office towers to cash in on Calgary’s oil-fired bash.
The party ended hard, however. Alberta’s biggest city has nearly a quarter of its downtown office space – 10 million square feet – empty, with more surplus space being shoved back onto the market every month
There is also more than 1.5 million square feet of office space under construction downtown that will be completed over the next 18 months."
