OBJECTIVES

1. What factors are contributing to the lack of industrial supply?

2. What land is available in Calgary versus Vancouver?

3. Companies who have a significant distribution presence in Calgary from

which they service the Vancouver market

4. Companies who would like a larger presence in BC but have not found

a suitable site or building

OBJECTIVES

5. Why do companies leave the GVA?

6. Why are companies staying here, and what (if anything) do they

sacrifice?

7. How are companies who relocate to Calgary distribution/warehouse

facilities distributing to BC?

8. Tenant Facility Comparison

1. What factors are contributing to the lack of industrial supply?

> Historically low vacancy rates

> Growth of e-commerce Internet-based sales from both store and non-store retailers rose

31% to $15.7 billion in 2017*

Require different building specs Larger square footage, higher employee count and parking

requirement, access to more labour

*Stats Canada

1. What factors are contributing to the lack of industrial supply?> Alternative uses outside of traditional industrial

Film $2.6 Billion in BC in 2017, an historical high

Recreational uses

Cannabis In Colorado, 63.4% of space used to grow cannabis is in warehouse

space.

Industrial strata

1. What factors are contributing to the lack of industrial supply?

> Increase in Port traffic/container Shipping 10% increase in container traffic last year. 2,900,000 containers.

> Lack of highway infrastructure

> Severe lack of available development lands

Very few if any well located land sites for development,

especially for medium and larger uses (greater than 5

acre sites)

Land prices - doubled in Campbell Heights in the past 24

months; have risen greatly in every GVA market

2. What land is available in Calgary versus Vancouver?> Calgary – Currently available for development

90 acres

110 acres

200 acres

> Calgary – Upcoming land (18-24 months) 120 acres

700 acres

3. Companies who have a significant distribution presence in Calgary from which they service the Vancouver market

> Home Depot (were formerly in Delta)

> Lowe’s (can’t find suitable space)

> Canadian Tire (had a small warehouse in Langley previously)

> Acklands Grainger (moving at present)

> Whirlpool

4. Companies who would like a larger presence in BC but have not found a suitable site or building

> Walmart (have been looking for a long time)

> Sobeys

> Costco (would like to double their distribution)

> Lordco (also would like to at least double their distribution)

> Amazon (will be forced to leave Braid Road, their main facility)

> Loblaws (forced to renew T&T’s current distribution facilities after

looking at consolidation options)

5. Why do companies leave the GVA?

> They cannot find the space they require Extreme low vacancy, high land prices, multiple offers on almost

every industrial building in the market

> Labour availability The #1 issue facing our market – access to transit, labour, home

prices all major factors

General labourers are in high demand and very short supply

6. Why are companies staying here, and what (if anything) do they sacrifice?> Customers and business are BC based

> Access to seaports in Metro Vancouver

> Skilled labour based in Metro Vancouver

> Save on Foods example EV Logistics, 2 large facilities totaling 800,000 SF in Gloucester,

purchased a number of years ago (early 2000’s) and allow them

to keep distribution in Vancouver.

Very few or no options for other large companies to do the same

6. Why are companies staying here, and what (if anything) do they sacrifice?> Business Growth

Companies are forced to stay in non-ideal (smaller) facilities

because they cannot find suitable warehouses that allow for

growth – 3 examples for us this year alone

Limited new markets outside the GVA with Abbotsford and

Chilliwack also constrained

> Outsourcing distribution Though third party providers also close to full, especially in the

cold storage and food industries

6. Why are companies staying here, and what (if anything) do they sacrifice?

> Relocating to areas within the GVA but outside where they

would like to be Higher transportation costs

Lower access to labour

Loss of business efficiencies

7. How are companies who relocate to Calgary distribution/warehouse facilities distributing to BC?

> Distribution from Calgary via rail to the intermodal terminal in

BC

> Large number of trucks from Calgary to Vancouver

> Some use Vancouver’s seaports, ship to Calgary and then

back to Vancouver

> Large distribution hubs in Calgary and small distribution hubs

in BC – a model that will continue to grow

8. Tenant Facility Comparison

CALGARY:

Lowe’s

> – no current GVA distribution for Lowe’s business, though

OUTLINE

• Purpose and Approach

• Report Components

• Inventory Results

• Key Findings

3

To provide a comprehensive

picture of the amount and type of

industrial land in the Metro

Vancouver region

PURPOSE

4

Who: Municipalities, agencies, developers, consultants

What: Land Quantity, Land Utilization,

and Change over time (2005 to 2010

and 2010-2015)

APPROACH

5

• Region, sub-region, and municipal

• Detailed and Consolidated land use

classifications

• Land use designation / zoning status

• Land ownership

• Site size

RESULTS BY…

• 11,331 hectares (28,000 acres) of land in Inventory

• 8,700 sites consolidated from 11,000 parcels

• 24 Detailed land use classifications; 7 Consolidated

• 9 geographic sub-regions

• 9,071 ha (22,414 ac) is ‘Developed’ (80%)

• 2,261 ha (5,586 ac) is ‘Vacant’ (20%)

6

SUMMARY

7

1. Conversion of industrial lands continues

2. Notable amount of industrial land used for non-industrial activities

3. Most industrial lands are designated and intended for long-term industrial use

4. Ongoing competing priorities for lands

5. Few available large sites for ‘trade enabling’ uses

KEY FINDINGS

8

CHANGE OVER TIME

1. Conversion land intended for industrial uses

Two sets of moving parts• ‘changes’ (additions and deletions)

in the total inventory• ‘absorption’ (lands within the

inventory that were developed or became vacant)

Regional and Municipal Designations

4. Competing priorities for lands

• 92% of the inventory has either an Industrial or Mixed Employment Metro 2040 designation

• 8% of Inventory has a General Urban regional designation (893 ha)

• About a third of those lands (266 ha) are in Urban Centres

• Removals from the inventory are mostly due to municipal policy changes

• Demonstrates a different municipal intent for those lands; supportive of other objectives – e.g. complete, compact communities and ongoing challenges of legitimate competing priorities for land

For ‘General Industrial’ lands, utilization defined as the approx. % of site covered by permanent improvements or clearly utilized).

1. Totally un-utilized (0-20%)

2. Predominantly or substantially un-utilized (20-40%)

3. Partially utilized (40-60%)

5. Totally utilized (80-100%)

25

Utilization

26

Utilization

5. Short-term intensification potential limited on lands that are ‘fully utilized’

• Understand that utilization is only the first step in looking at intensification potential

• Some properties have ‘functionally obsolete’ buildings that mask the potential to intensify

• Metro Vancouver takes the long view – not wanting to impact current use, but looking to intensification potential in the future
