Market Overview

Calgary is the largest city in Alberta and the heart of Canada's energy industry. The local economy is more cyclical than Toronto or Vancouver due to its oil and gas exposure, but Calgary offers some of the best property yields among major Canadian cities. The city has seen strong recent growth as Albertans benefit from energy sector strength and migration from more expensive provinces.

The Investor Angle
