BGO is actively targeting additional Canadian retail acquisitions after its summer purchase of a large, grocery-anchored shopping centre in Mississauga. The property spans over 300,000 sq ft on approximately 23.7 acres, features national tenants anchored by a food-market outlet, and enjoys proximity to major highways and transit links. BGO emphasises necessity-based retail as a resilient asset class, noting continued consumer demand despite broader structural shifts in retail.
Investor appetite for grocery-anchored retail remains strong, reinforcing demand for well-located, necessity-based centres with reliable tenant mixes. For Calgary’s retail market, this trend signals strategic opportunities for landlords and developers to focus on grocery, pharmacy, and daily-needs tenants, while exploring redevelopment or repositioning options for aging community centres to meet investor demand and sustain long-term value.
