The construction market in Canada is expected to grow by 3.9% on an annual basis to reach CAD 222.11 billion in 2025. Canada’s construction landscape is booming, with several cities emerging as hotspots for innovative and large-scale projects. Here are the top three cities making waves in the industry:
Toronto, Ontario
Toronto continues to dominate as a hub for new construction, driven by its growing population and demand for residential, commercial, and infrastructure projects. With a 26.8% increase in building permits from August to September 2024, Toronto saw a significant surge in permit issuance, particularly for multi-unit residential buildings.
Calgary, Alberta
Calgary experienced a strong 31.9% year-over-year growth in building permits, reaching $798.4 million. Alberta’s diversified economy, boosted by the energy sector, is the main reason for this growth. Additionally, more people are moving to Calgary in search of affordable housing.
Barrie, Ontario
As a smaller city near Toronto, Barrie saw an impressive 482.4% surge in building permits, reflecting the growing trend of suburbanization. The total permit value reached $343.2 million, driven by significant multi-unit residential projects in response to demand for affordable alternatives to Toronto’s housing market.
