Connect CRE Montreal 2026

Montreal is entering a pivotal period. As governments grapple with housing affordability, infrastructure investment, and economic competitiveness, the decisions made over the next several years will shape the city’s growth trajectory for decades to come. Industry leaders discuss the province’s economic outlook, the implications of the upcoming election cycle, the challenges of delivering housing at scale, and what Montreal must do to remain competitive with other major Canadian markets. From development and investment to policy and infrastructure, this discussion will set the stage for what you need to know.

Capital is returning to the market, but not evenly across sectors, asset classes, or geographies. Institutional investors, pension funds, lenders, and private capital providers are reassessing opportunities as interest rates stabilize, valuations reset, and transaction activity begins to recover. This panel brings together some of Quebec’s most influential capital allocators to discuss where they are deploying capital today, how they are underwriting risk, the sectors attracting the most attention, and whether the current market dislocation is creating a new generation of buying opportunities. Hear directly from the investors and lenders shaping the next cycle of real estate investment across the province.

Montreal's skyline, neighborhoods, and transportation networks continue to evolve through a new generation of transformative projects. From large-scale mixed-use developments and transit-oriented communities to office repositioning and housing densification, developers are navigating shifting tenant expectations, rising costs, and changing market fundamentals. Panelists explore the projects reshaping the city, the impact of infrastructure investments such as the REM, the outlook for office and residential development, and how industry leaders are creating places that attract businesses, residents, and investment. Join the developers, architects, and visionaries helping define Montreal’s next chapter.
