Market

Cresa focuses exclusively on commercial tenant and buyer representation.  This allows our brokerage teams to always maintain an unbiased view, and positions them to capitalize on opportunities to the benefit of our clients.   We are results-oriented and committed to maintaining the highest standard of service at all times.  In addition to transaction management and site selection, the Ottawa office offers strategic planning, project management and lease administration, which can help companies meet their overall occupancy objectives.  We collaborate with clients to provide service-oriented, rather than transaction-oriented, consulting. 

The Ottawa office of Cresa tracks real estate trends in Canada’s National Capital Region, Eastern Ontario and the Outaouais area of Quebec.  Within the City of Ottawa proper we break down the market into the sub-markets of Downtown, Fringe Core, Ottawa West, Ottawa East, Kanata, Nepean and Gloucester.  As the the Capital of Canada, the Federal Government is the largest user of space in Ottawa with the balance consisting of a mix of high tech and professional service companies. While the market is always changing, the last decade in Ottawa has been characterized by extremely low vacancy in the core due to the presence of the Federal Government, while Ottawa West and Kanata continue to suffer the after effects of the technology meltdown which keeps vacancy rates high.

The two principals of the Ottawa office, Martin Aass and Darren Fleming, have a combined 18 years of experience and are the market leaders for tenant representation in Ottawa.  Their leadership and proven process delivers superior results in very short order.
