Why does homelessness have such a strong grip on Halifax?

In our latest newsletter, Turner Drake & Partners examines seven years of homelessness data in HRM to better understand what’s driving the crisis and why it has proven so difficult to rehabilitate. Our Economic Intelligence Unit found that homelessness behaves less like a temporary issue and more like system with a long-term memory.

Colin Rennie from our Economic Intelligence Unit (EIU) recently spoke with CBC Saint John about some of the issues facing the city's office market.

Our EIU undertakes a bi-annual market survey for each of the six urban centres in Atlantic Canada; Halifax, Moncton, Fredericton, Saint John, St. John's, and Charlottetown. Our research covers everything from rental rates to vacancy patterns, giving our firm unparalleled insights into the region's commercial markets.

The 2026 Commercial Real Estate Symposium was a tremendous success.

Graeme Watt from our Tax Team attended the event in Moncton last week, where he spent the day connecting with industry peers and exchanging valuable insights.
The symposium featured presentations from leading experts, sparking thoughtful discussions on regional economic and fiscal policy, commercial real estate market trends, and the evolving role of sustainable AI adoption.

📈 The Turner Drake Housing Market Reporting Tool is back!

Our tool streamlines the analysis and visualization of housing data - creating professional reports for your region. Today we have the pleasure of sharing the most recent quarterly data for the Province of New Brunswick.

In this edition, you can find information on housing starts, completions, construction trends, average rents, and vacancy rates. Reliable data that can be used for informed decision making.

These figures highlight the provincial picture — but we can drill down and create a customized report at the community level. Stay tuned for more examples of our reports and the remaining Atlantic Provinces in the coming weeks.
