EXPORTING REPRESENTS GOLDEN GROWTH OPPORTUNITY FOR SMALL-AND MEDIUM-SIZED BUSINESSES IN CANADA: – RBC Economics

he time is right for small- and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) to grow their revenues, and support the Canadian economy, by increasing their exports of goods and services abroad, according to a new RBC Economics report entitled Doors open for Canada’s SME exporters. With a weak Canadian dollar relative to the U.S., low energy prices, and a growing U.S. economy, conditions are favourable for SMEs to increase their export presence.

“Over the last decade, a number of factors including the 2008 recession and a strong Canadian dollar led many exporting businesses to shut down or look inward to the domestic market – but the landscape has changed to become more favourable for exporters,” says Gerard Walsh, economist, RBC. “Considering the upside potential for business and overall economic growth, there is an opportunity for small- and mid-sized businesses to think beyond Canadian borders again if they aren’t already.” CAPACITY TO INCREASE EXPORT PRESENCE SMEs account for 25 per cent of Canada’s overall merchandise exports and in several industries, including information and cultural services and a number of manufacturing sectors, their share is over 50 per cent. Nevertheless, compared to other advanced economies, the share of overall exports by Canadian SMEs is low, which suggests there is capacity to increase exports amongst these businesses. Canada’s 1.1 million SMEs, defined as businesses with fewer than 500 employees, generate approximately 40 per cent of Canada’s GDP, and created two-thirds of net new jobs since the recession. After peaking a decade ago, the number

COM_4515.indd 8

of SME exporters fell by 15 per cent through 2010 and estimates suggest their numbers have not recovered in the years since. Despite their diminished numbers, SME exporters earn higher average revenues and are more likely to be fast growing than their non-exporting counterparts. “SME exporters tend to be more optimistic about their future growth and more likely to invest than other SMEs,” added Walsh.“On average, Canada’s small- and mid-sized exporters outspend other SMEs on investments in machinery and equipment, research and development, and new technology.” GOLDEN OPPORTUNITY TO ACCELERATE GROWTH “This is a golden opportunity for small businesses who want to accelerate their growth,” says Sarah Adams, vice-president, Small Business, RBC.“The higher revenues earned by SME exporters should inspire other SMEs to grow faster by expanding exports, and market conditions couldn’t make it easier to start now.” Adams has three recommendations for business owners looking to expand through exporting: EXPLORE FINANCING FROM A VARIETY OF SOURCES: Thanks to more business-friendly lending policies, fewer SME exporters report financing as a stumbling block to their growth. Business owners who have been holding back on exporting because of financing concerns should inquire about government grants, commercial financing and trade credit from suppliers. TAP INTO GOVERNMENT RESOURCES: Public-sector institutions like Export Development Canada (EDC) and the Business Development Bank of Canada (BDC) offer education, export incentives and financial services to help businesses expand globally. LOOK FOR OPPORTUNITIES OVERSEAS: The recently concluded Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA) with the European Union – Canada’s second-largest trading partner – offers new opportunities to SMEs as tariff and non-tariff barriers come down. Agreements now in place with the United States, Mexico, Peru, Colombia and South Korea, among others, are providing exporters with improved access to international markets. Looking ahead, the Trans-Pacific Partnership may create new opportunities for SME exporters in the Asia-Pacific region. Small businesses in Canada want flexible banking choices, convenient payment options and simple ways to manage their cash flow. Whether they are starting a business, managing growth, or succession planning, the RBC Advice Centre or Starting a Business website can help answer their questions.

CFIB REVEALS TOP ENTREPRENEURIAL COMMUNITIES FOR 2015

he Canadian Federation of Independent Business (CFIB) recently unveiled its list of the the best and worst places to start and grow a business for 2015. Among major cities, the communities around Calgary took top spot for the second year in a row, with Kelowna and the area surrounding Edmonton close behind.

“Communities in the west is still top the list, but we’re seeing the beginnings of a power shift away from the traditional entrepreneurial power centres in the prairies towards BC, as the fallout from oil prices continues to hit the region. We are also seeing parts of Central Ontario becoming more and more desirable for entrepreneurs,” said CFIB chief economist Ted Mallett. CFIB’s Entrepreneurial Communities report takes an in-depth look at how 121 cities/economic regions support and promote entrepreneurship. It scores each of them out of 100, by looking at 14 indicators across three main categories –Presence, Perspective and Policy.

COM_4515.indd 12

Saskatoon, Guelph, Barrie, Regina, Moncton and the grouping of communities that ring the cities of Toronto and Vancouver round out the top 10. Among mid-sized cities, BC’s Penticton fares best, followed by Grande Prairie, AB, Collingwood, ON, Okotoks, AB, and Brooks, AB. Once again, suburbs and regions surrounding cities tend to have better entrepreneurial environments than city centres because of lower relative costs, while still having reasonably strong access to large markets. “Each city has its own unique development story, but the one thing they have in common is the entrepreneurial spirit that drives them,” added Mallett. Read the full report on cfib-fcei.ca. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

E-COMMERCE CONTINUES TO GROW BUT ONLINE SHOPPING EVOLVING Canada Post data reveals changes in the Canadian e-commerce landscape

ew data from Canada Post shows that as e-commerce continues to grow at double-digit rates, the online retail market has started to evolve.

For the first half of 2015, the number of items ordered online and delivered by Canada Post in Canada grew 16 per cent compared to the same period last year. Though large urban centers like Toronto and Vancouver continue to produce strong volumes, the data indicates that midsize cities are now taking the lead on growth.

London and Windsor (Ont.) topped the list with 29 per cent annual growth in e-commerce shipment delivery. Kitchener (Ont.) and Saskatoon (Sask.) weren’t far behind with 27 per cent and 21 per cent respectively. Provincially, while Ontario and B.C. still lead the way, with 21 per cent and 18 per cent growth, P.E.I. took the third spot, thanks to Charlottetown which produced 17 per cent year over year growth. ONLINE SHOPPING EVOLVING As Canadians across the country shop online more, what they’re buying is also changing. Traditionally, mass merchants and fashion retailers have generated the bulk of e-commerce parcel growth. But as Canadians transition from being first-time to frequent shoppers and eventually hyper shoppers (11+ times annually) they are branching out and buying different kinds of items online. Here, the data points to the emergence of three new e-commerce growth sectors: Toys/Hobbies (21 per cent) e-commerce parcel volume growth; Office Supplies (15 per cent) and Sporting Goods (11 per cent). “As Canada Post delivers two out of every three parcels we’re committed to supporting retailers to help them make the most of the online opportunity. To do this, we offer not only convenience-based delivery solutions, like FlexDelivery, but relevant research to help them better understand and maximize the current e-commerce growth opportunity,” says Danielle Doiron, Director of Parcel Market Development, Canada Post. Canada Post is the country’s leading provider of electronic commerce and customer communication solutions. It reaches 15.7 million addresses, . Together, Canada Post, Purolator Inc. and SCI Logistics offer market-leading end-to-end solutions for e-commerce shippers by leveraging the assets and expertise of the Canada Post Group of Companies.

CANADIAN SMALL BUSINESSES HAVE BEEN DRIVING THE ECONOMY BUT CONTINUED GROWTH DEPENDS ON INNOVATION AND EXPORTS Small business faces new reality and must look beyond domestic housing and consumer spending

mall businesses in Canada created no less than 80 per cent of all new private-sector jobs in the past year, but this economic piston of growth is in for tough times if it doesn’t start to focus on innovation and growing export markets, finds a new report from CIBC World Markets.

“The small business sector has unequivocally kept Canada’s economy from sinking into deeper water,” says CIBC Deputy Chief Economist Benjamin Tal, who co-authored the report with Senior Economist Royce Mendes.“While Canada’s small and medium-sized enterprises have been an island of stability, not only demonstrating resiliency during the recession but also leading the way during the recovery, they are entering a new reality, one that will force them to innovate and enter new markets to sustain growth.” Small businesses were quick to capitalize on the pickup in economic activity in Canada following the Great Recession with the number of new companies climbing nearly 19 per cent since 2007. During the same period, the pace of growth for large firms fell almost 3 per cent. In terms of employment, the number of people working in small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) increased three times faster than large companies. “The secret behind this unprecedented ability of small business to overcome weak economic conditions over the past cycle is their exposure to Canadian consumers, who by opening their wallets, almost single-handedly moved Canada back into the growth column,” says Mr. Tal.

consumers to continue spending, but the strength in Canada’s housing market has also played a significant role by making consumers feel more wealthy.” The unprecedented strength in Canada’s housing market has provided a major boost to Canada’s SMEs, which employ close to 70 per cent of the workers in the construction and real estate industries. These two industries alone created more than 200,000 new jobs, accounting for 17 per cent of the labour market’s strength since the beginning of 2010, the report says. It also notes that each housing sale generates an estimated $20,000 in additional consumer spending. But Mr. Tal warns that too much reliance on the domestic market can be dangerous should the tide turn. “With debt-to-income ratios just under 165 per cent and house prices looking stretched in many pockets of the country, consumers can’t be relied on to provide the type of growth seen in the recent past. Canadians are just about maxed out on debt-fueled consumption.” With the dollar’s flirtation with parity now a thing of the past and the slowdown in consumption in mind, Mr. Tal sees an opportunity for SMEs to gain exposure to export markets in particular the U.S. and Europe. Only 10 per cent of Canadian SMEs are involved in exporting, a level that hasn’t changed in 15 years despite increased trade activity and free trade around the world, he says. Small businesses in Alberta, which will be the hardest hit by the drop in commodity prices, have the most room to add export capacity, as they generate far less revenue from exports than their peers in other provinces, Mr. Tal says. “To maintain and build on the performance of the past cycle, SMEs will have to change their business models by both raising their propensity to export and increasing investment in research and development,” he says. The report notes that small business that are already exporters are starting from a position of strength as they have consistently invested more on innovation than non-exporters. “Given Canada’s weak productivity track record of late, any support from SMEs will be a boon to the country,” says Mr. Tal. The complete CIBC World Markets report is available at: http://research.cibcwm. com/economic_public/download/if_2015-1022.pdf CIBC’s wholesale banking business provides a range of integrated credit and capital markets products, investment banking, and merchant banking to clients in key financial markets in North America and around the world. They provide innovative capital solutions and advisory expertise across a wide range of industries as well as top-ranked research for corporate, government and institutional clients.

Volume 15 Issue 11

A Commercial REALTOR®: a valuable asset In today’s competitive commercial real estate market, a commercial real estate expert is the partner you need to make sure you get the best deal possible. With expertise and knowledge of local markets, a REALTOR® can help you receive maximum value with minimum headaches for you. Commercial REALTORS® have membership in a local Board or Association and have agreed to act under and adhere to a strict Code of Ethics and Standards of Business Practice voluntarily established by REALTORS®. They know the intricacies of buying, selling or leasing property, from space planning, zoning information, dealing with municipal governments, environmental concerns, construction, tax assessments, appraisals, financing and market values, to detailed paperwork and closing procedures.

Here are just a few ways a commercial REALTOR® can help you: APPRAISALS - The primary purpose of a commercial appraisal is to determine the value of a specified interest in commercial real estate. The value most clients ask for is the market value, although other types of value can be reported. A REALTOR® has the expertise to provide accurate appraisals for your business. Hamilton

BUSINESS SALES AND ACQUISITIONS - A REALTOR® can provide detailed due diligence and market knowledge for the search, negotiation, disposition or acquisition of existing and new business operations. BUILD-TO-SUIT - REALTORS® can bring together developers, landlords and tenants for the purpose of building premises that are specific to the needs of the occupant, with the terms and conditions to either buy or lease the premises negotiated in advance of construction. CONSULTING - A REALTOR® can provide a range of consulting services dealing with the cost of lead generation, acquisition costs, technology, or the new realities of marketing. It’s pre-Google and post-Google, and how marketing properties and business has changed because of the internet. DEVELOPMENT - Working with developers, a REALTOR® can find the best location and determine the best market conditions for construction of an office, retail, industrial or multi-family building to begin. This can be done with a pre-determined client, or on a speculative basis. INVESTMENT PURCHASE AND SALE - A commercial REALTOR® offers expertise, market knowledge and a detailed marketing program when representing buyers and sellers. REALTORS® can identify a location, negotiate, and do the calculations to determine if there is a positive return on investment. PROPERTY MANAGEMENT - Commercial REALTORS® have a great knowledge of the opportunities and needs of landlords and tenants, making it easier to bring them together in a mutually agreeable leasehold interest in premises. If the REALTOR® also provides management services, he or she will ensure you maximize the value of your assets and help develop the goals for the property. REPRESENTING LANDLORDS/OWNERS - A REALTOR® uses in depth knowledge of the local markets to negotiate a contract for the use of office, retail or industrial space at a cost-effective price for both landlord and tenant. REPRESENTING TENANTS - A commercial REALTOR® knows the leasing opportunities available in the marketplace. He or she will work with you to determine the exact requirements for your office or company, then negotiate on your behalf for the most favorable leasing terms possible. Let a commercial REALTOR® become your business partner. A long-term relationship with a professional who specializes in your business needs can be one of your biggest assets. Established in 1921, the REALTORS® Association of Hamilton-Burlington (RAHB) represents more than 2,900 real estate brokers and sales representatives from Hamilton, Burlington and outlying areas. Members of the association may use the REALTOR® trademark, which identifies them as real estate professionals who subscribe to a strict code of ethics. The association operates the local Multiple Listing Service® (MLS®) and provides ongoing professional education courses for its members. In addition, RAHB is an active participant in the Home Ownership Affordability Partnership (HOAP) and holds an annual auction in support of local charities. Advertisements of local MLS® property listings and information about the services provided by a REALTOR® can be found at www.REALTOR.ca. More information about RAHB is available at www.rahb.ca

BUILDING VALUE ON A RENTAL PROPERTY… IT’S ALL ABOUT THE NOI.

By Dino Nicosia, Broker of Record, Investpro Realty Ltd., Brokerage

Hamilton

he real estate market is divided into many submarkets, such as commercial, industrial, vacant land and residential. The sub market for residential can be separated into two categories; the owner occupied and tenant occupied properties. The value of the owner occupied property is mostly determined by supply and demand. This demand is significantly influenced by disposable income, interest rates, consumer confidence and political and economical climate. Although the tenant occupied property value is influenced by the same factors, in addition it is affected more importantly by the income it generates. With this type of residential property you are not just buying the bricks and mortar, you are also buying the income that is being produced from the rent. Therefore a tenant occupied property is also classified as an investment property. Since the value of an investment property is largely determined by the income it produces, we should relate this to running a business where the goal is to end up with money in our pocket at the end of the month. After collecting the rent and paying all the bills, the amount of money left over, (before making the mortgage payments), is called the Net Operating Income (NOI). To determine an accurate NOI, the expenses must include property taxes, insurance, maintenance, vacancy reserve, utilities, garbage removal, lawn service, plowing, wages and management fees if any.

The NOI is directly tied into the Capitalization Rate (also referred to as the Cap Rate). The Cap Rate essentially represents the percentage return on an all cash purchase (not taking mortgage debt into account). Simply refer to the Cap Rate as being the return on the investment, and note that the Cap Rate will be determined by the current market sales in the area of the subject property. For example, let’s assume you purchased a 20 unit apartment building which generates an annual NOI of $100,000.00, and the purchase price of this property was $1,000,000.00. Therefore based on this purchase price, you are receiving a 10% return on the investment; or in other words, the Cap Rate on this purchase was 10%. Combined with the Cap Rate, the NOI will be instrumental in establishing the investment property’s value. Therefore if you want to increase the value of your tenant occupied property, you must improve your NOI. There are three major ways to increase the NOI: 1. Find ways to increase rents without affecting the vacancy. 2. Reduce property expenses without neglecting the property. 3. Do not rent the equipment…own them. 1. INCREASING RENTS: We will demonstrate the tremendous impact on value from rent increases, with this real life example. The ownership of a recently purchased 21 unit apartment building, created a business plan to renovate all units that became vacant and attempt to maximize their rents. They knew the great potential of increasing the NOI, which in turn would escalate the value of their property. The plan was to renovate and increase each unit by an average of $100.00 per month ($1,200.00 per year). Assuming that the current market Cap Rate is 7%, the value of the property would escalate by $17,000.00 by just increasing rent on one unit ($1,200.00 divided by 7% cap rate). In the course of one year they were able to maximize rents to ten apartment units for a total annual increase to the NOI by $14,000.00. This amount translated to an increase in value by $200,000.00. Before an investor undertakes this task, they should ask themselves; • Is it worthwhile to spend money for renovations if the rents can be increased as a result of the renovations? • Do the increased rents justify the expense? • Will the increase in value as a result of the renovations justify the expense? First let’s establish how long will it take to recoup the renovation costs? The answer comes down to doing the math. In the above example the renovation cost was approximately $3,000.00 8171452_4515

COM_4515.indd 26

2015-11-05 4:19 PM

per unit. After the renovation was complete the rents were increased by an average of $100.00 per month or $1,200.00 annually. It will take 30 months to recoup the expense or in other words the payback on the investment is 2.5 years. That equates to an approximate 40% annual return on the renovation investment, ($1200/$3000 = 40%). But most importantly the total value of the property based on a 7% cap rate had increased by $200,000.00. In this example, it’s clear that the renovations at a cost of $3,000.00 per unit ($30,000 for all 10 units) was a prudent investment 2. REDUCING EXPENSES: Reducing property expenses is often the most cost effective way to improve the NOI and increase value. • UTILITIES: Assess how much you are paying for heat, water and hydro and then establish how you can reduce these charges. • WATER: Conduct routine checks for water leaks and running toilets in each unit • HEAT: Check for loss of heat from windows, dirty radiators, old boiler system • HYDRO: If you are paying for the unit hydro, remember that old fridges consume more; charge extra for the use of A/C window units and check the timer to the common area and exterior lights. Educate your tenants on the benefits of energy conservation. • REALTY TAXES: Are you paying too much realty tax? Let’s face it, paying too much realty tax on investment properties could significantly impact the NOI and dramatically reduce value. Unfortunately most investors take this large expense for granted and assume that the assessment on their investment property is correct and never bother to investigate it. The reality is that many landlords are paying too much realty tax without being aware of it. As

an owner, you should make a point to investigate if you are paying too much realty tax on all your properties. I would like to share another real life experience of how an owner reduced his property tax by over $10,000.00 per year. In a transaction about 4 years ago, I noted that the property tax on my client’s new acquisition (a 20 unit apartment building in Hamilton On) appeared to be extremely high, based on my many comparables. Doing a quick check I calculated that the realty tax was about $12,000.00 too high. The first step was to ask MPAC to review the assessment through a simple on line application called Request for Reconsideration (RfR)” Do your homework by obtaining the assessments on similar properties. If you are convinced your property is over assessed, then simply go to the MPAC website and follow the instructions; download, and fully complete the (RfR) form. A local assessment officer will be appointed to review your application. Once the officer completes his investigation you will be notified on their decision. Should you not agree with the results from the reconsideration process, you still have the option for an appeal. The appeal process is more involved and will not be covered in this article. In reference to the application for the Request for Reconsideration by my client I am pleased to say it was a huge success. The owner received a revised tax assessment and a refund cheque for over $11,000.00. It was not just the refund that was gratifying, the increase in the NOI as a result of the realty tax reduction translated to a huge rise in value. By taking the revised net income and using a market cap rate of 7%, this equated to about a $150,000.00 increase in value!

3. RENTAL EQUIPMENT: Another relatively easy way to reduce your expenses and increase the NOI is to eliminate rental equipment. Make a plan to owning them instead. We continue another real life example of how the property value was increased for a 21 unit apartment building. The hot water tank rental was approximately $300 per month (including taxes) which equated to $3,600 per year. The cost to purchase and install the equipment was approximately $4,000.00. The purchase of this hot water tank was a great investment simply because of the approximate one year payback! But more importantly, this change also increased the property value by simply reducing of the operating expenses (or increasing the NOI) by $3,600.00 per year. How much would the property value increase after this relatively low investment? To assess the impact of the $3,600.00 of extra income that was generated by reducing the annual hot water rental expense, we need to divide this amount by the market Cap Rate. Let’s assume the current market Cap Rate is 7.0%, therefore by dividing by this Cap Rate the value had increased by $51,000.00, just by improving the NOI. ($3,600/7.0% = $51,000.00). The above scenarios demonstrate how simple investment undertakings produced a tremendous return rate and helped generate a huge increase in property value. One can now clearly see that increasing rents and or lowering expenses, (even if it requires expenditure to do so), is a wise decision. On the first real life scenario, the property was just sold for a $300,000.00 profit, after only one year of ownership. Remember, it is all about the NOI.

SkyViews Finding the Right Brokerage Guidelines to help apartment owners maximize their sales

Greater Toronto Area

By Erin Ruddy, Editor of Canadian Apartment Magazine When it comes to selling an apartment building, there are communication to blanket the market in hopes of finding many factors property owners should consider before potential buyers; to properly market a property, the right diving into, what for most, is an intensely complicated brokerage will use what is called target marketing. “Using process. Among those factors, and perhaps the most multiple forms of communication, your brokerage should important of them all, is choosing the right brokerage to identify the best strategy to reach all buyers in the engage the right buyers. apartment building industry directly, resulting in you getting the most efficient marketing results,” he says. Cliff Ford is the Director of Sales and Marketing at Skyview Realty Limited. As someone who has been been facilitating Find someone connected this process for more than seven years, Ford offers the The ideal brokerage is connected not only to you, but also following guidelines for finding a brokerage firm to foster to a network of current buyers. When you are ready for successful transactions and ensure the highest results. your property to be listed, Ford says your brokerage should already have contacts with potential buyers and know who Go with experience would be the right fit for your building. Real estate markets change from year to year, even from month to month. “When dealing with a brokerage firm, Remember, established is good owners need to find the delicate balance of experience, Along with knowledge of current buyers, a brokerage coupled with the up-to-date understanding of today’s should have already established relationships with other current marketplace and trends,” says Ford. “Experience companies in the industry—appraisers, environmental and alone will fail to provide strategies that reflect current trends structural inspectors, financial institutions, and other key in the industry.” On the other hand, a brokerage firm lacking players. “Having an established network of industry in experience will not be able to accurately predict and professionals can assist you in bringing your transaction to prepare for upcoming trends. a quicker close,” he says. Look out for number one Ford advises that above all else, apartment building owners choose a brokerage that looks after their interests and works hard to achieve their trust, confidence and commitment. “Your brokerage should ultimately be looking to serve your needs throughout the process of selling,” he advises.

Look beyond the offer Many real estate transactions fail at the most crucial stage: the due diligence process. “Having a brokerage that engages in a thorough due diligence process ensures that your building’s information is verified for the buyer and your transaction closes smoothly and promptly.”

Take the right approach While some brokerages focus on the approach of, “Bring me an offer, any offer,” Ford points out that finding the right buyer with the right offer is the better way to go. “A good brokerage will bring the right people to the table to help you sell your building,” he says.

Get what you pay for “Whether you are paying a low or high commission fee to the brokerage of your choice,” says Ford,” you need to be confident in the level of service you received. The right brokerage will be dedicated to providing the ultimate service for the commission fees you pay.”

Know your value Many brokerages waste valuable time and resources trying to pinpoint the market value for a building. “The right brokerage will have the knowledge and experience to provide an accurate opinion of value prior to even listing your building,” says Ford. “Knowing what your building is worth will help you get the right return on your investment.”

Finally, when all is said and done, Ford explains that the most important element in dealing with a brokerage firm is achieving top dollar for an apartment building. Finding the right brokerage—one that fulfills the above criteria—ensures that the owner walks away from every transaction with confidence, having received exceptional service, maximum exposure, hassle-free processes, and best of all, financial results.

Avison Young releases QUARTER 2015 GREATER TORONTO AREA COMMERCIAL REAL ESTATE INVESTMENT REVIEW

ales of commercial real estate assets in the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) continue to fluctuate quarter-over-quarter. Despite a strong showing by the office sector, sales declined in the industrial, retail, ICI land and multi-residential sectors. Consistent, however, are historically low interest rates, plentiful capital, constrained product supply and competitive bids (especially from foreign buyers), resulting in historically low cap rates.

These are some of the key trends noted in Avison Young’s Third Quarter 2015 Commercial Real Estate Investment Review – Greater Toronto Area, released today. The quarterly report tracks GTA office, industrial, retail, ICI land and multiresidential property sales transactions greater than $1 million.

by the lack of available product for sale,” comments Bill Argeropoulos, Principal and Practice Leader, Research (Canada) for Avison Young.“The demand is definitely there, as investors are looking for ways to strategically deploy more capital into all the asset types and geographical areas across the GTA. Investors have been increasing allocations to commercial real estate, as this sector has now earned its place as a core portfolio holding, and is no longer considered an alternative investment option – producing favourable total returns vis-à-vis equities and bonds.” Argeropoulos continues: “In this already highly competitive marketplace, which has pitted domestic buyers against one another, you now have an increasing number of foreign investors, particularly from China. These buyers have not only bolstered investment volumes – helping to fill the void left by some local players who have been sidelined by high pricing and deploying capital abroad – but have had an even bigger impact by pushing valuations higher and compressing yields.”

“Buoyed by stable leasing fundamentals, the market’s true acquisition potential continues to be unrealized, constricted Continued on page 39

GTA investment volume in the third quarter of 2015 came in at slightly more than $2 billion, down 27 per cent quarter-overquarter and two per cent year-over-year. The three-quarter tally stands at $6.7 billion, down 13 per cent year-over-year. Office building sales led all asset categories, improving 38 per cent quarter-over-quarter to $578 million (29 per cent share). Despite sales rising for the second consecutive quarter, the year-to-date sum of $1.4 billion lags the $2.2 billion that sold in the first three quarters of 2014. The industrial sector saw sales fall 39 per cent to just under $409 million (20 per cent share), bringing the three-quarter dollar volume to $1.5 billion (-7 per cent year-over-year); however, sales could still match or surpass 2014’s annual total of $2.2 billion by the end of 2015. Multi-residential, the second-quarter leader ($705 million), managed only $401 million (20 per cent share) in the third quarter – a 43 per cent decline. Nonetheless, the sector is having a banner year, with $1.4 billion in assets traded year-todate (nearly double the volume during first three quarters of 2014) – exceeding 2014’s $1.1-billion annual total. Investment in the retail sector totalled $1.5 billion through the first three quarters of 2015. Like industrial, retail property sales fell 44 per cent quarter-over-quarter to $381 million (19 per

cent share). A larger proportion (68 per cent) of dollar volume was in the urban 416 area code rather than the suburban 905 area code. ICI land is the least-traded asset type, and the only sector below the $1-billion mark ($827 million), year-to-date. While the total acreage sold increased between quarters, dollar volume fell 19 per cent to $242 million (12 per cent share) – the lowest result in 15 quarters. Capitalization rates were either flat or marginally lower than one quarter earlier. “The fourth quarter is off to a great start with $2.8 billion already in the books, and the $10.3 billion that sold in all of 2014 is within range of being surpassed by year-end,” concludes Argeropoulos.

MONTREAL & TORONTO: INDUSTRIAL MARKET COMPARISONS Colliers report examines “yesterday and today”

n the 19th Century, development of the railway and expansion of the port contributed to Montreal’s industrial development, making the city a transportation hub. At the same time, the growth of the banks and other financial institutions allowed the city to become Canada’s financial centre for the first half of the 20th century.

Montreal’s location contributed to its development. Many urban planners and economists note that manufacturing began to migrate to the American midwest and to southern Ontario at the onset of WWII. This marked an observable decline of Montreal’s manufacturing industry and industrial areas. The development of the roadway network and the momentum of the trucking industry, plus the opening of the St. Lawrence Seaway in 1959, diminished Montreal’s importance as a trans-shipment point. As well, some of the economic cycles hit Montreal’s industrial infrastructure hard, including the recessions of 1980-82 and 1990-91 that decimated the garment trade, the petrochemical industry and rail transportation. The sluggishness of the Montreal area’s industrial market is noted by many people. This lack of vigour is noticeable by the weaker level of activity in the market, most notably in terms of the lack of new large distribution and warehousing companies moving into the market, as well as the lethargy of new industrial construction that have led to an aging industrial building inventory. On the other hand, the Greater Toronto Area (GTA) has become the main distribution centre for Eastern Canada and the principal beneficiary of new investment in the industrial and commercial marketplace.

COM_4515.indd 40

WHAT IS THE CURRENT PICTURE OF THE TORONTO AND MONTREAL INDUSTRIAL MARKETS? THE EMERGENCE OF THE GTA The Montreal economy is no longer the driver of the Canadian economy as it was in the early decades after Confederation. The demographic and economic growth patterns of the two cities have been analysed in depth by any number of researchers. It has been demonstrated that the gap in economic growth between the two great cities cannot be attributed to a single factor. The 1976 census noted that the GTA population had moved past Montreal’s. Since the beginning of the ‘70s, the two cities had competed for the top economic position. Toronto’s population doubled in the last 40 years. According to some estimates, the population of the GTA has seen growth of 6.5 per cent between 2010 and 2015 while Montreal has only seen population growth of 5.7 per cent for the same period. The population within 50 kilometres of downtown Toronto is 6.4 million or 35 per cent higher than in the Montreal metropolitan area at 4.2 million. Between now and 2020, the populations of the Greater Toronto and Montreal areas should see similar growth, estimated at 5.4 and 5.2 per cent respectively. Not only has the demographic growth of the GTA been greater than that of the Montreal area for the last three decades, economic growth has been equally vigorous. Since 1997, Quebec’s gross domestic product has been in decline compared to Ontario’s. Twenty years ago, Quebec’s GDP represented about 55 per cent of Ontario’s GDP, down to a little more than 50 per cent today. Since 1997, Quebec industrial production has grown 16 per cent against 3 per cent in Ontario. However, since the economic uptick after the 2008 financial crisis, industrial production has increased 16 per cent in Ontario against 8 per cent in Quebec.4 In 2014, Ontario received nearly (US) $7 billion in foreign investment against (US) $2 billion for Quebec. Over the last two years, Ontario has been the number one choice for foreign investment in North America. Toronto’s economic and demographic growth relative to Montreal’s has resulted in strong growth in the industrial market. The inventory profile of industrial buildings in the two cities is becoming more and more different as well. The GTA has 727,000,000 square feet of industrial space, while the greater Montreal area has approximately 325,000,000 square feet According to Colliers International, this gap is growing: the pace of industrial inventory growth in the GTA since 2010 is 7.6 times higher than Montreal’s. The GTA industrial space inventory grew by 21.5 million square feet in the last six years vs. 2.8 million square feet in Montreal. The growth of new industrial space in Ontario has reflected the increased investment in industrial building construction in the province fairly closely since 2009. This increase is in contrast to investment in Quebec, which has remained almost static. IS THE TAX BURDEN AT FAULT? The political and linguistic context and the militant trade unionism of the last 40 years have all been invoked as factors for reduced investment in Quebec. The tax burden on Quebec business is nevertheless the focus of many analysis in order to

2015-11-05 4:20 PM

explain the less competitive nature of the Quebec economy and its industrial market. What of it? According to the Fiscalité et aide publique aux entreprises report published in February 2015 related to tax rates for corporations,“The principal challenges of a government consists in adopting policies that allow it to finance operations without compromising the vigour of the economy. Therefore, all modes of taxation are not equal: their impact on economic growth differ greatly.” A comparison of the tax rates in OECD countries shows that rates have been declining in the last 30 years, moving from an average rate of 47 per cent in 1981 to 25.5 per cent in 2013. The tax rates on profits of Quebec businesses follow this decline. At 26.9 per cent, it is superior to the tax imposed in Ontario (26.5 per cent), BC (26 per cent) and Alberta (25 per cent) and to the average tax rates in OECD countries (25.5 per cent). Tax on company profits does not provide a complete picture of the tax burden. That burden has to include the application of the tax system, payroll taxes and the various fees for social services. When considering the full tax amounts paid for by corporations, an international comparison indicates that despite the reduction on taxes on corporate profits since 1981, the total tax burden on Quebec business is higher than in the other adjacent provinces and correspond to the highest rates in OECD countries. In the last Quebec budget, the provincial tax rate on corporate profits is set to move from 11.9 per cent to 11.5 per cent by 2020. The annual reduction of a tenth of one per cent will begin in 2017. The Quebec corporate tax rate, already below the Canadian average of 12.7 per cent should become equal with Ontario’s in the medium term. The next years will tell whether this reduction in the tax burden will stimulate the Montreal industrial market. The Godbout Commission report on Quebec taxation recommended reducing the general tax rate on corporations to 10 per cent, which would allow increased Quebec industry competitiveness in terms of the Ontario tax system. GLOBAL RULES OF THE GAME The fact is, the tax burden is just one of a number of factors companies look at before choosing a location for their operations. Both Toronto and Montreal compete globally for companies who can locate in any developed or developing countries based on any number of considerations. For example, the growth in the Toronto industrial market in the last few years has been fuelled by the growth of the distribution sector. The area has become a hub for commercial activity in eastern Canada and the US northeast. In this regard, Toronto benefits from its close proximity to other important distribution centres, most notably Chicago and the large urban centres in the Midwest. Toronto’s geographic location also benefits the city, just as Montreal’s did a century ago. Concurrently, Montreal, which was the epicentre of industrial production and manufacturing in Canada, is competing face to face against international competition to maintain the vitality of its manufacturing industry. Above and beyond taxation rates, Montreal provides other advantages to the industrial markets

COM_4515.indd 41

that are more specialized than Toronto’s, most notably very competitive energy costs and access to a skilled and bilingual work force. THE STATE OF THE MONTREAL INDUSTRIAL INVENTORY That the Toronto industrial building inventory is significantly larger than Montreal’s, given the extent of the Ontario economy and population is to be expected. However, the slow rate of growth of Montreal’s industrial building inventory impacts the long- term competitiveness of the Montreal market. Over the last few years, the new industrial buildings that have been constructed in the Montreal region were built for the specific needs of mediumsized companies while Toronto has seen large multi-tenant buildings being built. The profile of the industrial building inventory in Toronto and in Montreal is changing and reflects Toronto’s more competitive character. Essentially, Toronto industrial buildings are newer, and they are also taller and larger according to Colliers International data. Toronto has a larger proportion of buildings with a free height above 25 feet. As to size, the number of square feet by building category is proportionally superior in Toronto. While the industrial inventory of the GTA is two-and-a-half times that of Montreal, the number of square feet by building category is generally three to four times larger than Montreal’s. So the size of industrial buildings in the GTA are better adapted to the needs of large distribution centres that locate there. In Toronto, we find proportionately five times more buildings with over a million square feet while the availability of buildings over 200,000 square feet in the Montreal region is a problem noted by Montreal real estate brokers. The average square footage of industrial buildings in the GTA is 67,000 square feet vs. 54,000 for greater Montreal industrial buildings. The existing square footage of Toronto industrial buildings is obviously superior in all categories. However, the number of existing square feet in buildings over 100 thousand square feet is proportionately greater in Toronto than in Montreal, which indicates that Toronto has a proportionately larger number of buildings over 100 thousand square feet In fact, Montreal is the market with the highest proportion of buildings under 100,000 square feet in the total inventory. CONCLUSION The recent evolution of Toronto and Montreal industrial buildings inventory tends to move in the same direction of their respective economies. Montreal’s industrial stagnation relative to Toronto’s does not necessarily means that the future of Montreal is bleak. For some 20 years, a number of companies have seen strong growth that has contributed to the success of the aeronautics, has contributed to the success of the aeronautics, biopharmaceutical, IT and telecommunications sectors. The diversity and dynamism of the Montreal economy, the opening of new markets that have come with the numerous free trade agreements, the robust US growth and the low Canadian dollar is allowing the city’s corporations to increase exports to the US and to other international markets.

OVER HALF OF CANADIAN ENTREPRENEURS HAVE SEEN GROWTH IN THEIR BUSINESSES SINCE ESTABLISHMENT: BMO REPORT – Both small-and micro-businesses have seen significant growth in revenues – Statistics Canada data reveal that small businesses continue to create jobs faster than larger companies – Majority of business owners currently operate under a business plan and engage in networking activities to stay connected

new report on Canadian entrepreneurs by BMO Bank of Montreal reveals that business owners in both the small-and micro-business categories have experienced growth in all areas of their businesses since establishment.

The report, conducted by Pollara, found that: Most small businesses have seen growth in number of employees (92 per cent) and revenue (90 per cent) Most micro businesses have grown their customer base (78 per cent) and revenue (68 per cent) “As per recent years, businesses with fewer than 50 workers continue to create jobs faster than larger companies, with employment up 1.3 per cent in the past year versus 0.9 per cent for bigger firms,” said Sal Guatieri, Senior Economist, BMO Capital Markets.“Supported by low borrowing costs and a weak currency, new and small business entrepreneurs will continue to drive Canada’s employment and economy.” John MacAulay, Head of Canadian Commercial Banking, BMO Bank of Montreal, says that it is important that business owners operating in the high-growth market continue to

BUSINESS BAROMETER CLIMBS FOR FIRST TIME IN FOUR MONTHS

anada’s small business confidence picked up almost three points in October, rising to 58.9. The gain marks the first national confidence increase in four months – but underlying factors continue to show a weak economy, according to CFIB’s latest Business Barometer Index.

“While it’s encouraging to see a slight confidence increase across much of the country, sentiment still remains much more negative than this time last year, and suggests an economy that is barely growing” said CFIB chief economist Ted Mallett. “We’re also seeing weaker hiring plans compared to last year and the continued effects of a weaker dollar driving up pricing.” Optimism bounced back in British Columbia, rising to 65.7, well above the national average. Alberta made a slight recovery from a record low, improving two points this month to 36.1, still well behind all other provinces. Saskatchewan saw another small drop, slipping a point to 58.3. Manitoba jumped more than six points to 60.6, despite seeing a drop in business owners who believe their businesses are in good shape. Ontario picked up three points and moves to 62.5, while Quebec slipped to 57.1, falling just below the national average.

Newfoundland and Labrador’s business confidence climbed to 65.0. Nova Scotia rose to 68.0, and remains at the top of the country for the second consecutive month. New Brunswick’s confidence saw a drop to 59.0. Prince Edward Island continued to fall and now sits just above the national average at 59.4. Confidence increases in the agricultural, construction and manufacturing sectors were responsible for much of the improving mood across Canada. In contrast, retail, hospitality and the service sectors all trended down in October. The resources sector remains the least optimistic by a significant margin. Employment plans across the country are showing normal seasonal patterns, but are weak compared to last year, with 16 per cent of businesses planning to hire additional full-time staff in the next few months versus 15 per cent planning on cutting back. Wage-increase plans returned to trend at 1.6 per cent, but the weak dollar has pushed pricing plans up again to 2.4 per cent. October, 2015 findings are based on 777 responses, collected from a stratified random sample of CFIB members, to a controlled-access web survey. Data reflect responses received through October 19. Findings are considered accurate to +\- 3.5 per cent 19 times in 20. CFIB is Canada’s largest association of small- and medium-sized businesses with 109,000 members across every sector and region.

CANADIAN HOLIDAY RETAIL SALES EXPECTED TO GROW FOUR PER CENT: EY All Canadians want for Christmas is… a seamless shopping experience

anadian holiday retail sales are expected to grow four per cent over last year, with Millennials driving holiday spending. More optimistic, digital and loyal than any other generation of shoppers, Millennials will lead a shift from consumption to experiences, EY says.

“Retailers’ wish for a more enthusiastic consumer may come true this holiday season. People are optimistic about the expected tax relief for the middle class, promised by the newly elected government,” says Daniel Baer, EY partner and National Retail and Consumer Products Industry Leader. Other factors contribute to consumers’ joyful spirit: gas prices are down about 19 per cent year over year, new federal child tax payments are more generous, and employment growth and consumer confidence remain healthy. On the other hand, the value of the Canadian dollar means less of a drain on sales from cross-border shopping, but higher prices for consumers. “While Canadians may have a little more money in their pockets, retailers must realize that ways to engage consumers are multiplying rapidly,” explains Baer.“To thrive in this omni-channel environment, retailers must be quick and agile to deliver the integrated experience consumers want.” And the experience, both online and in-store, will be important for Millennials— the children of Baby Boomers and Gen Z’s parents. According to the EY report Redefining loyalty for retail, Millennials would rather receive exclusive invitations to special events than discount offers. “Millennials seek experiences, fun and personalized indulgences, and they’re willing to pay a premium for them,” says Baer. “But for purely functional items, millennials seek convenience, selection and low prices. Millennials are also social-media savvy and digitally connected, meaning the smartphone and tablet will be key interactive tools for retailers.”

COM_4515.indd 52

While online sales will continue to grow, traditional retail channels continue to be relevant. Baer explains,“The fact remains that brick-and-mortar stores is where the vast majority of shopping takes place. Retailers need to adopt the right technologies and the right attitude to leverage their real estate if they want to delight consumers.” The 2015 holiday sales forecast throughout Canada is expected to vary by region and timing. EY notes the following trends: • Canadian retailers will need to focus on promotions for American Black Friday if they want shoppers to spend their limited discretionary budget on this side of the border, and use this day to drive December traffic. • British Columbia will lead Canadian retail sales. • Resources will drag results in Alberta and Saskatchewan to a slight year over year drop in sales. • Ontario sales gain will mirror the national average, as employment and exports strengthen. • Quebec sales will show little, if any, growth. • Sales in Atlantic Canada will be flat. In terms of product popularity, clothing, toys, electronics and gift cards remain the top choices. Given Millennials’ thirst for experiences, more gift cards purchases will be directed towards restaurants and travel. EY is a global leader in assurance, tax, transaction and advisory services. The insights and quality services we deliver help build trust and confidence in the capital markets and in economies the world over. We develop outstanding leaders who team to deliver on our promises to all of our stakeholders.

SELF STORAGE INDUSTRY IN DANGER OF OVER-SUPPLY IN WESTERN CANADA

he past five years have been very kind to the commercial real estate markets in the prairie provinces of Alberta and Saskatchewan, with investors posting record returns for most types of property. One commercial asset class that has mirrored the population and economic growth in Western Canada has been self storage development, with new facilities being erected every month to meet the anticipated demand. As more residents moved to Alberta and Saskatchewan to take advantage of the growing economy and increasing commodity prices these provinces produced, new self storage investment occurred and continues at a rapid pace in these markets. Historically, self storage has been a great commercial asset class in Western Canada, generating strong growth and performance over the last decade. The five large Canadian banks (TD Bank, RBC Financial, Canadian Imperial Bank of Commerce, Bank of Nova Scotia and Bank of Montreal) have been active lenders supporting commercial real-estate investment in Western Canada. This commercial lending activity has also supported self storage construction and investment. However, the dramatic drop in commodity prices and overdevelopment of self storage in certain markets will constrict the economic viability and access to future lending for development. Saskatoon, SK is a great example of a market that underscores the changes in the self storage business in Western Canada. Saskatoon is experiencing a

COM_4515.indd 56

rapid increase in self storage development, and currently has an estimated 600,000 square feet or 0.75 square feet of storage per resident. However, with the dramatic drops in the price of uranium, oil, potash, and other agricultural products, Saskatoon has experienced a decrease in population and job growth. The confluence of these economic factors is hitting Saskatoon as more self storage facilities are being built and coming online. Expansions in progress represent a potential total of 185,000 square feet coming online in the next six months, and will increase total supply in Saskatoon by over 40 per cent based on the ISS estimated current supply of 436,000 square feet. This overdevelopment will be great for local residents and businesses who use self storage, but a challenge for operators who will have to adjust to lower rental rates and offer larger incentives to attract new tenants. To highlight the market dynamics, StorageMart, a leading North American Self Storage operator who owns a state-of-the-art multi-story facility in downtown Saskatoon on 1st Avenue that has just been expanded by 44,000 square feet, and owns another facility on 11th Street in the southwestern part of the city, has recently shelved plans to expand its 11th Street facility by an additional 50,000 square feet. StorageMart operates 63 self storage facilities in Canada and is known for its aggressive expansion strategy, however, analyses done by the company indicates that the market is becoming over saturated. As reported by Cris Burnam, the company’s president,“This market just cannot bear the massive increase in supply that is coming.” Aaron Facca, the Saskatchewan regional manager for StorageMart, adds that there is probably going to be a glut in storage units for the foreseeable future. Listed below is a snapshot of the self storage developments that are likely gearing up to enter the Saskatoon marketplace: • Shield Self Storage is a modular building concept that is a collaboration of Brett Wilson and 3twenty solutions. The plan is to develop self storage space in increments of 6,400 square feet using their modular building technology. This technology allows them to bring 960 square feet online per week. The initial development plan is to build 60,000 square feet of self storage with 400 RV stalls. • BRITEBOX, formerly Handyman Self Storage, is planning to add 13,000 square feet in the next three months, and the potential of an additional 50,000 square feet within the next few years between their two properties. • Stor All Mini Storage is building out portables onsite, totaling an additional 8,000 square feet. • Additional new self storage facilities in Saskatoon include a 70,000 square foot facility located on Marquis Drive. Self storage consumers will benefit from falling rental rates, while self storage investors should expect slower occupancy climb for new developments as the market becomes more saturated. StorageMart strives to identify non-profit organizations to work with as partners in each market the company calls home. With the help of Charity Storage, an industry wide giving program, StorageMart assists in the mission of Skate to Great, the American Red Cross, Big Brothers Big Sisters, Habitat for Humanity, local animal shelters, women’s shelters, food banks and child foster care and adoption programs. Founded in 1999 and headquartered in Columbia, Missouri, StorageMart owns and operates more than 165 full-service self storage facilities throughout the United States and Canada. storage-mart.com

Surviving closing By Jayson Schwarz

t is rare that a commercial property transaction ever closes without some – or many – issues arising to stand in the way of business. Even the most seasoned veterans tell tales of surprises, problems and frustration. Here are some tips and tricks to help you anticipate and avoid some of those problems, save you time, money and frustration.

The deposit Many problems occur around control of the deposit moneys. In most cases a Realtor will maintain the deposit funds in his or her trust account, with clear conditions in the Contract of Purchase and Sale outlining when and how such moneys may be retained by the seller or refunded to the buyer. The lawyer’s insight: The Realtor will almost never release the funds without the consent of both parties, no matter what the contract says, and no matter how obvious it is as to who is right or wrong. The Realtor will be afraid of making a mistake and getting sued and so takes the position of an innocent holder. In order to get the funds released, you will need to have your lawyer sue the other party, and the Realtor and the Realtor will then pay the money into court and be out of the lawsuit.

The lawyer’s insight: A survey is valuable for both the buyer and the seller, because it can help avoid future lawsuits where encroachments, illegal structures are on the property, boundaries come into question, easements appear or other problems are discovered. The buyer wants to make sure that he gets what he’s paying for, while the seller wants to make sure that once the property is sold, the buyer will have no remedy or complaints after the sale. If the parties cannot agree on who should pay for the survey, it is recommended that you just split the cost rather than avoiding it altogether. The cost of litigation to resolve such disputes will likely eclipse the cost of the survey, so think of it as a proactive measure. Lawyers know how to look at surveys and we can determine whether problems are there and how to correct them in the fastest and most inexpensive way. The agreement Many commercial real estate agents rely on standard form agreements that have been produced by their local or provincial boards. This often leads to difficulties as it fails to address the particularities of a given situation. The lawyer’s insight: Have a lawyer draft your agreement in a commercial situation. As an example we would generally add pages to the agreement used by the agents to buy a business. A commercial land purchase agreement could be 20 pages long. Avoid the issues by doing it properly at the beginning. The above presents but a few examples highlighting the importance of having a solicitor involved in your transaction from the beginning. The costs involved in having a lawyer represent you are well worth it and will save you time and expense in the long run. Perhaps the most difficult part of writing these articles relates not to the actual writing, but thinking of a topic to address. Please send letters to the magazine or to us. Use the website (schwarzlaw.ca), email (schwarz@schwarzlaw.ca), or phone us at 1-888-6098888 and give us your questions, concerns, critiques and quandaries. We will try to deal with them in print or electronic form.

What am I really buying? Sometimes an up-to-date survey is not available for the land, and so the parties must either pay to have one created, accept Title Insurance or have a war over what the purchaser thought he was selling and buyer thinks she is buying. Problems arise where the parties decide to use an old survey that does not show all current boundaries and structures or do without a survey.
