Primaris REIT’s CEO says retail is in a “clean-up phase” as the trust continues to acquire regional malls across Canada. The strategy focuses on high-quality properties with strong anchors and repositioning potential, signaling renewed confidence in the retail sector.
For Calgary, the takeaway is clear: retail properties in strong demographic areas stand to benefit as investor sentiment improves. Selectivity, disciplined capital use, and adaptive strategies will be key to unlocking value.
